re: I’m pleased with our coaching staff

I think you have to go big for the positions that have longevity and don’t command a lot of NIL, specifically OL.

Then you identify raw 4 stars at specific spots like ATH’s and WR. Sell them on playing early and developing so they command more NIL money in a year or two. If you lose them after 2 years that’s fine, it means they produced. The biggest earning potential for those guys isn’t going straight to a blue blood and maybe not getting good playing time for 3-4 years, it’s showing out early and hitting the portal as a proven commodity. Just have to make them buy into that.

The portal is there, have to use it instead of getting burned by it.
