[QUOTE="CEB, post: 876828, member: 4905"] I agree with a WHOOOOLE lot of this. With regard to the portal and our approach, I said in another thread (or maybe this one a while back) that we hired a coach based on his beliefs and abilities to recruit.... but it was just before the entire recruiting process was turned on its ear. I think initially the portal was a stopgap / quick fix for missing pieces and body types. I don’t think it was a long term plan. I think we wanted to recruit, retain and develop but realized that the near future would be ugly until that development happened. Fast forward 3-4 years and we haven't cobbled together a decent season, struggled with injuries, and also lost a few of the pieces we hoped to develop.... we have no choice but to be back in the portal. I am speculating, admittedly... I don’t know if this is a change in philosophy or if we’re there out of necessity. I do know the recruiting game changed just when we felt like we were ready to capitalize on the old system. That said - we still have the QB that CGC wants to build around. We have some solid contributors returning a year older, a year bigger and stronger, and hopefully the portal is allowing us to fill some holes. If we can give Sims time to set his feet and keep his jersey clean, our offense could be unrecognizable in a good way. That will help the D tremendously even if we don’t make strides on that side of the ball... but any signs of improvement there will be a huge bonus. [/QUOTE]
