That's a massive overreaction to Colorado's roster construction. The portal has fundamentally changed how teams rebuild, and bringing in 43 transfers is a strategic necessity after a 1-11 season. LSU has also leveraged the portal heavily for immediate impact, like last year's key defensive additions. Chemistry is built in fall camp, and their talent infusion is undeniable. Their 2023 recruiting class still ranked in the 20s, so it's not purely mercenaries. Deion Sanders has a proven track record of quickly elevating programs, and dismissing that ignores the data from his time at Jackson State. LSU's own success has often hinged on integrating high-profile transfers seamlessly into the system.
