Message: [QUOTE="phil77, post: 5380441, member: 1169"] The portal should be used to supplement your foundation and fill in the holes from year to year. That foundation needs to be built with freshman classes over the years. The problem Red has and what we face now is we do not have a solid foundation to build on. So we have to replace an entire starting lineup via the portal but replacing the entire starting lineup via the portal isn't going to be a long term recipe for success year after year either. It will be important for programs especially a program like ours to find the balance. If Red was a brand new coach this would be easier you would target talented Sophomores like Freeman who didn't get playing time at other places and bring them in and build your talent up but Red has to win now so he can't do that. So that will be the job of the next coach if Red can't get the job done next year. [/QUOTE]
