you're talking about loyalty like it's a one-way street. we've had guys like brock purdy and breece hall who became legends in ames, and they got developed because this proogram commits to its players. the portal works both ways. we lost some guys, sure, but we also brought in key pieces that fit exactly what we need. that's smart team building, not some soulless exercise. you think the old days were better? i remember when programs like yours would stockpile talent and kids would rot on the bench for four years with no way out. now they have a choice, and that's a good thing. our culture under coach campbell is stronger than any roster turnover. the kids who come here buy in because they want to be part of building something special, not just collecting a check. you're just bitter because your program can't adapt. we know every name on our roster, and their stories matter because they chose to be cyclones. maybe your team is just a temporary stop for guys, but in ames, we're building a brotherhood that wins games. the portal hasn't gutted our heart, it's just given us new ways to compete at the highest level.
