Funny because I feel the same way. I see a lot of fans here obsessed over transfer guys while ignoring the HS guys recruited to the roster that aren't even being allowed to develop. Does LSU want the reputation of bringing transfer guys in to block the HS recruits brought on your roster?

You'll never develop a program culture with that. I think that's a big reason Saban is stepping out. He can't get the program culture he wants with 10-15 guys going out every year with 5-10 early draft entrants and then bringing in 30 new guys. Too much change year to year to set the tone of the program that's been so successful for his entire tenure.

You need continuity.

The best example is the people begging for a transfer QB to replace Nuss when Nuss hasn't done a single thing to prove he doesn't deserve a shot based on his abilities. They just want another Burrow/Daniels ready-made to go.

No school is ever going to live off transfer guys year to year and expect to be consistently successful. You'll kill your HS recruiting once they learn it's pointless to sign with you because you'll just bring in a transfer.

Nope. The main reason Saban is stepping down is because he is 72 and tired. If you don’t understand that, then you can’t be older than, say 55. I’m 61 and tapering off. I have arthritis in various joints and every time I stand up I require 30 seconds before I walk like a normal man. And I am a top 1 or 2% type who works out almost every day. And Saban is 11 years OLDER than me. Sometimes the simple answer is the correct one, Occam.

This. Ole Miss might have a squad this year, but it's not built for long-term success. For OM to be competitive every year, they're going to have to hit on 100% of their targets until they can recruit better.
