That's a nice story for a team that's okay with being mediocre. Stability without elite talent just means you're stable at 7-5. The portal is how you close gaps fast. Your "development" narrative is just an excuse for not landing difference-makers. Real coaching is adapting, and the best staffs use the portal to upgrade, not hide from it. You build a foundation, then you go get the players who can blow the roof off. Sticking with your guys just means your ceiling is permanently lowered.
