There was a stat put out recently that 84% of the higher High School recruiters have won every game played so far this seson in FBS.

In the SEC, 74% of wins came by the better overall recruiter so far. That's been the norm for years, even before the portal.

Programs are still built on HS recruits. You better get a bunch of Drew Sanders types if you want to win with the portal in the SEC.

Only 2 teams have won a national championship since 2007 without a top 3 class. Both had generational first round nfl starter quarterbacks.

Clemson with Deshaun Watson
Clemson with Trevor Lawrence

And no one except Oklahoma in 2000 has won a title this century without at least one top 10 class in their 4-year recruting cycle.

Clemson kind of broke the mold by using Top 10-15 classes with a 1st round NFL QB at the helm. That's the only way to do it purs9de of stacking top 5 classes on top of top 5 classes like Bama, UGA, and Oh State do now.

Thats why most of the resources need to be thrown at HS recruits and maybe you can hit on a portal QB who is a future NFL guy like Penix.

Those are really the only ways to really compete now.

If Arkansas could ever revruit consistently on the top 8-15 like Oregon has been doing over the last few yrs, they could actually make some noise. Other than that it won't happen....especially when you constantly have to overcome your HC decisions in games.
