Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5370005, member: 628"] Red and his staff were unfathomably unprepared for portal season last year. And our NIL budget was woefully inadequate. There's no dispute about this, Wildhack and others have essentially confirmed it. The Mike Water piece from a week ago made it clear that SU whiffed on all of their top targets aside from Lampkin. Carlos was not intended to be a starter, and Davis & Taylor were very cheap pieces that they added when no one else better panned out. That doesn't even get into Red deciding to build his roster around a no-defense, poor-shooter in Starling, and a one-dimensional, poor-everything else in Bell. If Red can't retain Freeman and Moore (and the reports about Bell being gonzo), then it's likely we'll be bringing back Starling, Cuffe and Petar. We need a massively strong haul in the portal if that's the case. And if it's a bunch of Hofstra's and Delaware's again then we're screwed. [/QUOTE]
