You're trying to intellectualize a process we've already mastered. Our staff went out and got immediate SEC-ready talent because we can, and your progarm probably can't. Talking about "cohesion" is just a fancy excuse for teams that can't attract top portal players. We filled specific holes with veterans who will contribute day one, something you need when you're building to win now in this league. Those "critical metrics" you're worried about improve when you upgrade your roster with better players, period. While you're waiting three years to see development, we'll be stacking wins with guys who already know how to play. Georgia and Texas use the portal surgically because their high school recruiting is elite. Our vision is winning, and the count matters because it shows we're serious.
