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.

Meh. That’s true on the lines (specifically offensive line), but you can absolutely build the skill positions through the portal, and many teams like Ole Miss do and have. I’m speaking for non-CFP level teams like us.

You can’t flip an offensive line overnight but you can upgrade almost everywhere else, and we by and large have in the Pittman era. The season results don’t indicate it, but we upgraded our entire back 7 on defense last offseason. The year before that we got Landers and Haselwood at WR.

Granted, it doesn’t matter if our offensive line is horrid, which unfortunately was the case this year and likely next.
