[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 923673, member: 4572"] I don’t know, Kansas brought in 15 transfers this year and had the 22nd ranked transfer class. They also brought in 13 last year, and many of Buffalo’s best players followed Leipold to Kansas. Kansas started 2 of the 2021 transfers, and had 2 others on their two-deep, including Jason Bean who became the starting QB after Daniels went down. They also started 2 of their 2022 transfers, and had 7 others on their 2-deep. So that’s 4 of their starters and 9 of their depth players who came via the portal, 13 total impact players. That’s a good amount of their total production for a team who had their best season in over a decade. 44% of preseason projected QB1’s were transfers. While you can’t rely solely on the portal to build your team, it’s a very easy way to fill holes that may be left from seniors graduating, juniors declaring for the draft early, or losing transfers of your own. You do need to build up a solid HS recruiting base in order to maintain consistent class balance and to have a core culture of the team who will be around for 4+ years. But there is no denying the portal makes it easier to fill gaps than ever before. There are definitely pros and cons to it for the small to mid-size programs. Sometimes you pick off a fringe blue-blood guy, sometimes you lose to star player to said blue bloods. Overall though, the rebuilding process is made much easier and quicker by using the portal. I’m sure Deion and Colorado will take a significant jump next year because of the portal, but you can’t do that every year. After a while there is a point of diminishing returns, and I think that’s where Deion will run into trouble if he falls too deep in love with portal recruiting. [/QUOTE]
