Don’t get me wrong I’m also in the camp that we should start using the portal for needs we have. That being said the portal is no different then recruiting, just because you offer a kid doesn’t mean you’re going to get them. Just like with the two OL we offered they chose different paths. Some people act like all Dabo has to do is wave a wand and they’ll just come running.

True but just like with recruiting you have to go after

more than what you need. No excuse this year not to land at least one WR that'll help. There were a few out there that are better than what we have.

Absolutely, just some post I read it’s like all we have to do is offer and it’s a done deal. Honestly wish we could’ve gotten into it earlier so we could have some momentum built in it but it’s a little late for that.

Most of the good ones know where they are landing before they enter the portal. It is called tampering. It is a no no but no inforcement so far.

If they they do not already have a deal before entering, they enter then shop around for the best deal. This is called free agency which is also a no no. But guess what... no enforcement as yet.

Oh absolutely the Transfer Portal isn't some magic fix. But it would help to dip in and grab some players to help with depth issues and maybe get lucky and find some superstars like other teams have. It only hurts to refuse resources presented in front of you. Now that doesn't mean go TP heavy because that could have more negatives.

True, but it's an extra pool of players......

with experience of a college football program/routine at the very least that EVERYBODY ELSE UTILIZES TO SOME EXTENT. Why not use it? Why choose to not utilize an extra resource if available??
and you're right Dabo can't just wave a magic wand and players will flock............I would argue though had he adapted/accepted it earlier as a "thing" and not given the "perception" that he gave that he would've most definitely been in a better position to wave a wand and they would come............he wasn't on the forefront/cutting edge of it so now he'd be playing catch up.

No argument there, don’t see why we should handcuff ourselves from a useful tool

Very true. The 85 number is the big deal and then finding the few needle in a haystack guys in the Portal that we would even be interesting. Very short window of opportunity but I just have hope there will be a fast as heck receiver out there at a smaller school that we could pluck.
