This is the most delusional, old-man-yells-at-cloud take I've seen all offseason. Your "foundation" just got left in the dust. The portal IS development now. You don't build a roster in four years anymore, you build it every single semester. Clemson's refusal to adapt is why they're irrelevant. "We don't rent"? You're leasing mediocrity while everyone else is upgrading. That "cohesion" you love is just another word for a talent gap. Alabama and Georgia use the potral strategically and still develop. You're just making excuses for getting outworked. Your staff isn't identifying hidden gems, they're missing on the elite players who don't want to wait. That hostile environment in November? You'll be walking into it with slower, less experienced players because you were too proud to shop in the market. The standard has changed, and you're clinging to a ghost ngl. The last time you won anything, the portal wasn't a factor. Wake up.
