Reading about Oklahoma State bringing in fifty transfers is the final proof that recruiting is dead and we're just watching professional free agency with a college logo slapped on it. That used to be a program you built through high school kids who grew together, like our '93 team that learned how to win. Now you just swap out half the roster every winter like you're chnaging tires. The portal has created a culture of instant gratification where no one develops, they just relocate. We used to take pride in finding the Ron Daynes and Joe Thomases who bled red and white for four years, not some hired gun who'll be gone in twelve months if the NIL check isn't big enough. This isn't team building, it's fantasy football with real kids, and it's gutting the soul of the sport.
