How are you going to be a program that is centered on player development via high school recruiting if you lose your would be star players as soon as their upperclassmen?

People are shrugging off Willis like it’s no big deal, but he was a true sophomore who was successful when we had a QB who could make a forward pass.  Gill would have been a #1 WR. You can’t lose your #1 RB and #1 WR and just say that’s portal life.  As Fran said his interpretation of the portal is swapping 2’s.  That’s not what’s happening now. This roster right now is pure trash with very few established players.

I said it years ago and would consistently get hammered. They are going to have a tough time competing in this new portal era because we will consistently lose the would be upperclassmen who would be our leaders.  If you don’t have the money, you’re not going to win. We can’t get established stars out of the portal. They will get guys with potential, or younger guys, which doesn’t replace those who produced as younger guys when they’re entering their junior and senior seasons.

This is a total rebuild. Lost our entire WR room. How did Fran not know White was a psychopath? I’m sure that has some to do with it, combined with not wanting to risk another year where Steve gets hurt, or is not ready to play, with the QB’s we currently have backing him up.  This better be a monster portal class or next season will be a disaster.

This is a really tough spot. College football is going down the road of college hoops. Getting to the point where it’s a new roster every year and makes it tough to buy in.
