Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5275652, member: 5685"] How can anyone say last year was very good when we weren't even on the bubble and got destroyed by decent teams? Rational people were upset that our portal was made up of a bunch of players that were from small programs in small conferences. They also said last year's team was much more talented than this squad. No one thought anything of Carlos until we were lied to just before the season. That said there wasn't some magical fix coming from the portal. The correct strategy all along should have been 4 HS kids instead of only 2. Portal should be used to fill holes not build a program. Especially if you aren't loaded with a war chest. The pieces Red brought in do not fit in any way together. Back in the day we compiled a bunch of athletes and made it fit. Red compiled a bunch of bench players. Red is the one who evaluated these portal kids the last 2 seasons. Who else is to blame? [/QUOTE]
