re: Brian Kelly’s high school recruiting is picking up nicely; transfer recruiting is abysmal

Jalen Lee, Duce Chestnut, Denver Harris, etc. have all been major disappointments. It looks like we are going to swing and miss on every DT in the portal this year despite that being a desperate need and the cupboard being totally bare. Florida State gets Keon Coleman, Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Fentrell Cypress, and we get scrubs.

What needs to change in order for us to be more successful transfer-wise? Is it totally a money problem or a coaching problem?

What dumb and close minded thoughts. Because we didn't get the DT out the portal, just negate all the other portal wins right?

Also, unlike Miami and Oklahoma, we are looking at trying to land #1 classes back to back, and that requires SERIOUS dough. We can probably cough up 500-600k for an okay at best DT, but when you're talking 800-900, even a mil for a DT when we're trying to land top 10 overall players at the same time, you must be crazy.

Also, we will have to go the UGA route. Recruit high school heavy so when you go into the portal, you're topping off the tank, not in dire straits. Give it two years. IMO, the true next championship run will be in 2025. The hope is to make the playoffs this year. And hell, we never know, McKinley could turn out to be a freshman phenom. Not likely, but got damn it's better than what yall are doing.
