re: Kelvin Joseph enters transfer portal

Yeah that particular argument is straw man at best.
I think he’s trying to say that if players good enough to play last year are leaving this year then it means our team is better.
It’s not really a good argument cuz everyone knows that $5 is worth more than $1 but having both equals $6 which is the highest value. Probably a dumb example but it’s what I got

Basically, losing Kelvin Joseph or a similar talent doesn't make your team better in any way shape or form.

He’s saying it’s addition by subtraction.
He’s not wrong but like you said he is missing the point. LSU used multiple scholarships on players who left after one season.
What would be even more damning would be to go see when the players who entered the portal committed, because if a player like Livingston or Cotton was committed in say, May or June of 2017, then it’s a scholarship used on a player that not only left after a year, but stunted any pursuit of another recruit at that position.
I have not checked to see when these players each committed so this is not something that I am trying to argue, just saying that is an aspect of recruiting to consider. I think the 2019 and 2020 classes show that Orgeron is trending up and the 2018 class may be an outlier.
What I don’t understand is why it’s so bad to say the 15th ranked class was a disappointment.

What players would those be? Which players that are leaving were good enough to play last season?
