that's a solid point about building a culture, and you see it paying off in the empire 8. for us in the sac, the portal is a neecssary tool just to keep pace, but you're right, it can't be the whole strategy. our staff at newberry is definitely focusing on development with our high school croots, getting those three-stars to buy in for four years. but we're also hitting the portal hard for immediate needs at defensive back and on the o-line, you have to in this league. it's about balance. a program like colorado is an extreme, but bringing in a couple of key portal guys who fit your system can be a game-changer. the real test is if those transfers become part of the identity, not just rentals. your bengals doing it the pure way is impressive, but in the sac, if you don't use the portal at all, you risk getting left behind by the lenoir-rhynes and wingates of the world who are actively mining it.
