This is a classic take from someone whose program can't keep up in the modern era. You're clinging to outdated ideas because your team can't win the battles for elite talent. The portal is about immediate roster construction, and programs like ours at A&M use it to address glaring needs, not just collect names. A great quarterback makes the system, not the other way around. Look at what Mike Elko is building. He's using the portal strategically to upgrade the trenchse and skill positions, creating a better environment for a QB, not a worse one. That 2026 croot you mentioned cares about fit, sure, but he also cares about who he's throwing to and who's blocking for him, and we're using every tool to get those guys now. Development happens faster with better players around you. The teams that master the portal and high school recruiting, like we're doing, are the ones who will dominate. Sitting back and hoping your three-star projects develop while the SEC arms race passes you by is a losing strategy. Our structure is being built through aggressive acquisition, and that's how you win championships today.
