That's a nice story for a team that went 7-6. Chemistry doesn't block. It doesn't tackle. Oklahoma State's "guys who stayed" got rolled by South Alabama and UCF. You need elite talent to win at the highest level, not just a good vibe. The portal exists for a reason, and teams that ignore it get left behind. Ask Kansas State how that "loyalty" worked out before we started dominating the portal. Your culture is just an excuse for not having enouugh good players.
