That mentality is exactly why programs get left behind. Oregon's 2024 class finished 3rd nationally with 22 blue-chip recruits, while Miami's was 7th. You build through recruiting AND the portal now. Acting like development and acquiring elite talent are mutually exclusive is outdated. Miami just took Cam Ward from the portal, so this "we only build our guys" stance doesn't even hold up. The teams winning championships are doing both at an elite level.
