That's exactly what I've been saying. I'm not willing to dump 2-3 recruiting cycles for a slightly better scheme and/or development. I'll go along to get along for now but be warned seasons 23, 24, and 25 aren't looking good. And yes I agree we aren't at some horribly low point but 2-3 players can make a huge difference if we don't get those 2-3 we are in a world of hurt. So maybe the portal can help close the gap we are starting to get in.

Smart utilization of the transfer portal and/or JUCOs will be critical to bridge the gap. I think we're going to see that between now and this time next year with the OL. Or at least we'd better.

Oh ye of little faith.

We're certainly not going to drop game one, hopefully the oline will be picked by game three, I can't imagine there'll not be a hot backup RB this year, if Bo is throwing off his back foot I'm sure there'll be a foot up his a---, and just not knowing the play has to help the other coach not look like a genius.

I'm more of the belief they don't really know what to recruit. O'line yes, but beyond who's graduating, how many at other spots. Got to play some first unless we just load up on WR's.

You got a numbers list by position?
