The staff largely got the guys they wanted. I’m not sure why folks expected us to get starters from the sec or other p4 schools. That was never going to happen.  We have to be strategic in the portal. we addressed DL, LB and QB. If you’re recruiting in the portal, you’re either paying top dollar or you’re getting guys with question marks who didn’t play somewhere else for a reason. I’d rather take a chance on proven guys from G5 schools who want to transfer up in competition.

Our best bet is always going to be as a development program and recruiting better at the HS level and then retaining the guys we like. To do that you need better coaches and the biggest adds we made were to the staff. It’s not like the young guys who left were picked up by top programs except Singleton. I know folks obsess over the ‘24 guys but those were after a few weeks on the job. 
 
Also it’s generally more affordable to retain your best guys than it is to buy comparable guys.
