The one area Brian Polian shined in was the transfer portal -nationwide

If you say so

That doesn't matter if BK says the aren't buying players. But he has been saying since last summer that LSU will concentrate on building thru hs

As we should. The overwhelming majority of portal guys who commit to a school solely for top dollar will be disappointments. Scheme fit, depth chart etc don’t matter to them.

Polian was a prick, but he could evaluate talent. Last year remains a head scratcher without him.

The portal game has changed significantly in the last two years. It's going to change some more in the next two years. You can't keep throwing million+ bags at 3rd tier players.
