You're right about evals, but it's also, "who can you get to come here."
Agreed and there's no doubt NIL will be a detriment to our program unless Tanner finally embraces it, but by all accounts, Utah's backup RB wanted to come to SC but our staff put all its eggs in the Logan Diggs and the kid from NC State's baskets. Both were whiffs and the kid decided to stay in Utah.
Not saying he would've had any sort of impact against UNC, but it's not good that our top 2 RBs are a converted QB/WR and a kid that played D2 last year. We're in this position because we missed in the portal and Hardesty is a terrible recruiter that Beamer won't fire.
We'll be limited in attracting top-end talent like FSU did with Jaheim Bell, but we are absolutely able to attract serviceable dudes that add solid depth with P5 experience. It doesn't have to be as bad as the OL currently is, and the vicious circle is that poor performances like the UNC game will just discourage larger NIL support from our fans.

Which is exactly why it's stupid to put the limited salary budget we do have into HS Srs.
You have a hard, internal cap. Use it on transfers and proven commodities. You can't blow your budget on unproven draft picks.
We basically have to approach this new professional league as an inverse of the NFL. Budget has to go to transfers and impact players, *not* highly touted, non-difference makers like the majority of last year's class.
