these days. We constantly lose guys left and right in the portal and now in recruiting. We finally get some guys in the portal, then another at that position bolts....this is just crazy and hard to keep up a quality roster.

It feels Impossible to have quality depth

To have top talent at all positions as the starters, then extensive use of the portal would be necessary. For us, that would mean only Peter Woods, TJ Moore, Sammy Brown, Barrett Carter, Cade Klubnik, and Jake Briningstool would have been in our current roster as layers coming from the HS ranks.

The problem with acquiring all of the other known top end talent via the portal is that we wouldn’t have the money to be able to out-compete the numerous other schools that are committed to obtaining top end talent via whatever means are necessary.

Furthermore, if we took your suggested approach, then very good (but lesser talent, as of their HS senior years) wouldn’t choose Clemson.

That means zero of our current O-linemen. No TJ Parker. No Wade Woodaz. No Ashton Hampton. No Bryant Wesco (remember, he was only a lowly 4* WR). It goes on and on.

To add insult to injury, none of high quality backups would be here. They’d know that they would be sent to the side as soon as a portal stud arrived, so they would go to the school with the highest NIL bid instead of Clemson.
