My point, though, is that talking about the "40 scholarship players" argument doesn't cut it after the first season when those gaps were filled and the team wins their division. Having the #12 class in 2022 and the #6 class in 2023 has bolstered LSU's depth in addition to the portal, so the cupboards are not bare for BK; he's now in the same position most other coaches are in in regards to roster management from year to year.

Disagree, most coaches aren't having to take 26 players combined between the portal and recruiting class and then relying on the majority of those players to be significant contributors.

Most of the transfer portal hits in 2022 were a one year stop gap so those gaps were there again to be filled in 2023.
