re: Aggies: was it worth it?

The fact is that we will use the portal a lot more. Less risk involved to do so ... I think you see A&M drop back into the teens with the incoming recruiting class, and more focus on proven players out of the portal.

Kiffin has done pretty well with that approach. I think Elko will do the same since we basically hired a GM and brought over the entire recruiting staff from Duke.

Duke didn't really dip in the portal much, they took 8 players in Elko's first year and 9 last year.

Kiffin took 23 last year alone.

I see a lot of misconceptions related to the portal from Aggies lately, mostly that they're going to get a ton of "proven players" there, it just doesn't work like that.
