Lame has room for these portal guys because he sucks at recruiting high school prospects.

Lane was one of the first to realize that recruiting a bunch of high schoolers who won’t play for two or three years doesn’t make sense when they can just hit the portal whenever they please. It’s much easier to evaluate guys you’ve seen play at the CFB level and once they transfer in, they can’t transfer out without sitting a year.

High school recruiting still matters, but the coaches who haven’t realized that the game has changed and adapt accordingly are gonna get left in the dust.
