This is exactly the kind of panic we expect from our rivals, who are always looking for loopholes instead of building a real program. We don't need a spring portal window because we develop our guys the right way. Our culture keeps players bought in, even through competition. If a guy can't win a job in spring, he puts his head down and works harder for the fall. That's how championship teams are built. This idea of a "massive wave" is just wishful thinking from programs that rely on quick fixes and mercenaries. Our staff identifies guys who want to be Hawkeyes for the long haul. We aren't sitting around waiting for some dam to break in January. While other teams are worrying about collecting new players every semester, we're installing our playbook and building chemistry. That stability is what wins in the Big Ten West, and it's why we'll be ready to dominate when the season starts. Let them chase the portal. We build from within.
