That's a loser's mentality and it's why your program is stuck in the mud. The portal IS the program now. Sitting back and "developing" three-star guys while your rivals reload with proven talent is how you get left behind. Chemistry? You build that in the offseason with the guys who actually want to be there. A "foundation" of players who can't compete with the athletes other teams are adding is a foundation of sand. Look at the teams winning now. They use the portal aggressively. Your "culture" talk is just an excuse for not being able to compete in the modern landscape. You're not building something real, you're building something slow and oudated. We'll take the headlines AND the wins because we're adapting. Your rock solid foundation is fixin' to get washed away by the new reality.
