Non-expert here as well and I agree.

On defense, I endorse bringing in RIT and a SSDM or two. However, on offense I would prefer for the guys that committed out of high school (and went through some bad years) to get more run than some kid that parachutes in with comparable (or less) talent. I don't know if he wasn't 100% healthy this year, but in 2023 Birtwistle was filthy - electric in the UMD game. Kid deserves more minutes than some random kid that has "upside" from SUNY New Paltz (not sure if they have a team).

I sound like the old man that keeps the neighbor kid's ball that comes over the fence, but I'm still undecided on the transfer portal. It's obviously been great for us but I guess I yearn for the good old days of years ago (like two or three) where if you weren't guaranteed minutes you worked your tail off and did something about it (Sergio Salcido). Your coach and fan base had your back too - they'd recognize that hard work and make sure you earned the minutes and recognition you deserved. You and nobody else.

That being said, CJ Kirst we have a starting attack spot with your name all over it. You want to play attack by yourself? 20 shots a game? Not a deal breaker. Let's talk.
