It's not having it both ways. It's reevaluation. We were excited to get Cecil Howard. Do we still view him as a great player because he was highly rated or do we view him as a bust? What about Drew Allen? Was he a great transfer because he was a 4 star guy or do we get to change our opinion because he didn't live up to it. What about the guys that oit perform their recruiting ranking? Are we not allowed to change our opinion? Do we not lament the loss of Ohio State's future starter because he was a 3 star guy? Only looking at a transfer's high school rating without also considering how they have transitioned to college just doesn't make sense.

We have filled lots of holes through the portal and I think we've used it well, but I think the people that think we've upgraded our talent at a position group after losing guys that had been starters for us to the portal and replacing them with other portal guys that weren't starters at their previous school simply because they had high rating in high school are viewing things through orange colored glasses.

Straight forward question: Do you think the guys we got in the secondary from the portal are better than Carter and Chestnut? If so what gives you that opinion, since you haven't seen them play a down yet?
