That's a nice story for the fans, but it's pure fantasy. Your pipeline is drying up and everyone knows it. The transfer portal doesn't lie, and your recent classes haven't been up to standard. You're not reloading, you're hoping. Other programs are actively upgrading their rosters with proven players while you're praying a special teams guy is the answer. The "next man up" only works if the man behind him is actually good enough. The league might know your past talent, but they're questioning the future supply.
