Son, I've seen programs built the right way since the days of Spike Dykes, and what you're describing isn't building, it's just standing still. The game has changed. You think Donny Anderson would've stayed in Lubbock if he could've gotten his value day one? Loyalty died with the old Southwest Conference. You can't just "develop" your way past teams loading up in the pportal. That's how you end up like our 2011 squad, all heart but not enough horses. If you aren't using every tool, you're getting left behind. Your "identity" won't mean a thing when you're staring at a 7-5 ceiling every year.
