Ten to fifteen is exactly where we belong right now and honestly it's a sign of respect. Coach Mendenhall is building soething real here, not just collecting rentals. Look at our linebacker corps, those guys have been in the system for years and they play with a purpose. Saying there's no identity is just lazy. Our defense has had the same aggressive, disciplined identity for three seasons running. The portal lets us fill specific holes, like that experienced corner we grabbed, but the core of this team is homegrown. Programs that complain about the portal are the ones getting outworked in it. We're adapting and building at the same time, and that early ranking shows they know we're coming. The foundation is stronger than ever because it's built for modern football.
