That's a nice sentiment for a program that hasn't won anything meaningful lately. Development only gets you so far when the talent gap is real. Look at the last four national champions. They all hit the portal hard for immediate impact starters. Georgia got key pieces like Tykee Smith. Michigan built their line through transfers. Florida State's own turnaround from 5-7 to 13-0 was fueled by the portal, adding Jordan Travis, Jared Verse, Keon Coleman, and Fentrell Cypress. You can't just develop three-star guys into first-round picks at the same rate elite programs stockpile them. The data is clear. Teams in the top 15 of the 247Sports Transfer Team Rankings have won 80% of their games over the past two seasons. Relying solely on development in this era is how you fall behind. Your staff might be good teachers, but if you're not supplementing with proven Power Five talent, you're just building a good team, not a championship contender. The playoff expansion makes the portal even more critical. You need a complete roster now, not in three years.
