I appreciate the approach here, but it seems like you've thrown away the freshman classes the last two years

Transfers are incredibly valuable and I get why you'd want so many, but the math also has to align. You sign large HS classes the last two years, you lose 25..26 whatever it was to the portal, more to graduation, etc

I think my biggest takeaway from your post (because I agree with most in the area of needs as well) is that if players from the last two HS classes can't fill some of these gaps, we're in trouble.

Russell for example is going to garner a lot of expectation that he can be a starter or make the two deep at WR. I certainly didn't expect DeSlauriers to be as good as he was or Samuel to that matter, so I have faith in the incoming freshman or RS freshman/SO players on the team as well.

We'll see how it all shakes out. I just don't see us signing 20 guys in the portal and (hopefully) it's a good thing because the younger guys are ready

ALL that to say I am cool with signing guys with experience at the more 'need experience' positions
