re: New transfer portal wave is now starting around the country at the 4-game mark

How many Elite players do we get from recruiting period? Fact is that “elite” players are rare no matter where they from.

Key starters that have and will contribute and make a huge difference on our team. Jefferson/Shand/Oghoufo/Swinson,Diggs, Anderson will be a very good player, our entire secondary Harris/Brooks/Burns/Sam/Alexander, Speights will get better, Lacy has and will contribute.

Imagine if we didn’t have these guys? While we are building with quality depth we will still need players to come contribute and add experience. Not just depth. Depth is a player here not starting but here getting better and if need be, could start for you. These guys are playing significant roles, making plays, and helping our team win games. Not simply here to add depth. We need that as well but those guys are the younger players from HS at this time. At some point we won’t need to add as many but we will always add portal talent and it’s real talent.

Why wouldn’t you go get someone experienced to fill roles on your team. I hope we get to a point where we simply need them for depth. That means we have starters who are better than they are and have been in the system for a few years. We are still 3 maybe 4 years away from that point.
