So is the OL strategy to build via the portal? Seems like we are going to be forced to whether we like it or not.

We probably need a few guys for 2024.

Looking at our current 2025 roster (gauntlet season):

Wohlabaugh R-SR
Enrique Cruz R-SR
Ellis R-SR
Lysander Moeolo R-SR
Joe Cruz SR
Trevion Mack JR
Jayden Bass JR
Willie Goodacre SO
Noah Rosahac SO
2025 Frosh

Looking at our current 2026 roster:

Joe Cruz R-SR
Trevion Mack SR
Jayden Bass SR
Willie Goodacre JR
Noah Rosahac JR
2025 Sophs
2026 Frosh

We would have only 5 upperclassmen. And that is assuming that none transfer, no one gets hurt, and all 5 are halfway decent. Which is a huge assumption.

With the portal you can fix holes in your roster, but ideally I wouldn't want there to be holes in the first place. I felt like Dino didn't address the OL early enough and it came back to bite him. I really hope Fran brings in 4-5 HS kids the next class to at least have a foundation. Getting portal OL is not easy as everyone wants them. And it will cost more than keeping a kid here who is good.
