Frick I hate to admit I thought this yesterday, but help is on the way. If we can keep the two 4 Star tackles we will be in much better shape. We missed in the portal this year, but if we don't botch the next two rounds then 2025 could be good.


Damn...I remember following the Lattimore recruitment for 2010 on cockytalk...I am getting old

Reality is that last year's portal experience is probably going to be the norm.

You had Lloyd, Burch, and Bell leave for bigger programs and more money. Well, if we have a breakout player this year, those same kinds of programs will come and sign them in free agency. We don't have that kind of money.

USC absolutely *has* to hit on its FCS transfers, such as Wells and Anderson, in order to be competitive. When that doesn't happen, you can't count on "help being on the way" the next year from your own developed players because someone else is going to be scouting your team and taking them.

I'll be willing to make a sizable wager that a Nyck Harbor or a Pup Howard will not be here next season, assuming they perform well.

We're a poor, in relative payroll terms. The portal will likely always hurt us.
