Kelly is the only one on the list that had the benefit of the transfer portal to immediately resolve roster issues to allow his team to be more competitive without having to have 3-4 years of recruiting like all other coaches prior to the past few years had to deal with.


He's also the only one who walked into a situation with 40 scholarship players.

The portal is a two way street.

It is a two way street, and he definitely used it to rebuild his team. Good for him, but don't act like his situation was the same as the others on the list.

In years past, some teams were absolutely decimated by players declaring, graduating, transferring out, or just quitting, and coaches had to grab a few players from the portal and put all their eggs in the recruiting basket, knowing they've got a long road ahead for rebuilding. Kelly got the show on the road in one off season using the portal. It's a cheat code for coaches these days.
