You wanna talk about building a foundation? Look at what Matt Campbell has done for a decade. We develop players, we don't just collect them. Your "high school talent" argument is lazy. The portal is a tool, and using it right is how you supplement a core we already have. We've been to bowl games consistently because we coach guys up for four or five years, not just one. That 247 link doesn't mean a thing if you can't develop the kids once they get on campus. We've proven we can do both, find gems in high school and hit the portal for immediate needs. Meanwhile, your program is just now figuring out what a strength prgoram is for. Talk to me when your "foundation" actually wins something meaningful. We're building contenders here, not just hoping a bunch of teenagers pan out in four years.
