[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 919936, member: 265"] I couldn't agree more. The thing to remember about the portal is that young men get into it because they a) haven't seen the field in the program they were in, b) got on the wrong side of the coaching staff at their original stop, or c) any of the usual semi-rational reasons college students transfer for. This isn't meant as a knock on the young men at all; breaking into the lineup at Bama or Clemson isn't easy for anyone and getting on the wrong side of the boss happens all the time in life. I'm also not knocking the effort our transfers have given or their contribution to the program. What I agree with, however, is that if you want to build a team you have to have an idea of what you want to do with the players and how you want to train them. That usually means getting the players out of high school and putting them in a carefully planned training program that will produce the kinds of players you want in 2 or 3 years. The portal, carefully used, can certainly help with that, but I don't think it substitutes for focused recruiting and sound player development. [/QUOTE]
