the NIL/Portal era

I think it's just going to get worse. The haves and the have not. In the past every team could get a couple of decent players and win a few games at least. Now, the top programs will get all the talent.

And a program can fall apart in an off season. I thought Arkansas would be just fine this year but we made some poor choices in the portal and fell off a cliff.

The problem is that if that happens once or twice the rich folks funding the NIL can easily decide they've got better things to spend their money on. And then your program is really screwed.

On average, yes. But you also have to account for talent evaluation as part of this.

Josh Hubbard is one of the best freshmen in the SEC this year, yet he was a 3 star coming out of high school with just 5 offers. There will always be parity due to some kids getting looked over.

How can it get worse? We’re recruiting top five in the country over the next two years and the guys we have aren’t exactly supposed to be bad, just a slight step down from last year. That’s the real head-scratcher.
