This kind of panic is exactly why some programs never build anyything lasting. You talk about existential threats, but I've watched this program survive real ones. We lost an entire recruiting class in a plane crash, for heaven's sake. We rebuilt from that. You think some kid getting texts is a crisis? This is just recruiting, the way it's always been. The difference now is everyone has a megaphone. Back when Les Miles was here, a kid would get a hundred letters from Nebraska or Texas, and you'd just have to out-coach and out-develop them. That's what we do. We don't win with five-stars, we win with guys like Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas who bought into the system and became legends. This "food chain" talk is a loser's mentality. We've been the underdog since the Big 8 days, and we've still won conference titles and major bowls like the Fiesta. You mention Oklahoma State bringing in portal guys like it's a bad thing. Son, we've had to adapt to survive in this mess the SEC and Big Ten created. If a high school kid sees that as a threat instead of a challenge, then he probably doesn't have the grit we want anyway. The kids who come here know they'll have to earn it, just like Chuba Hubbard did, just like Justin Blackmon did. They weren't handed anything. All this noise about decommitments just sounds like a fanbase that's forgotten how to develop talent and is scared of a little competition. We'll be just fine. We always are.
