Honestly, though? I think the transfer portal works in our favor. Recruiting HS is really tough for a program like ours that only has sporadic success and the national perception of a university that just doesn't care.

It's a lot easier for us to rebuild through the portal until we have the foundation necessary for stronger HS recruiting. I don't necessarily prescribe to the scale that Deion is doing at Colorado, but there is a logic to what he's doing. Rebuilding with HS recruits is something that will take 3-4 years to see results. Get what few blue chips you can through HS recruiting, and then fill the rest through mercenaries that are already proven on the field. The reason I disagree with Deion is that I think he has an NFL mindset, and most college athletes just aren't good / experienced enough to be plug-and-play like they're expected to be in the NFL.
