I agree the portal has changed things but when we see our classes not being in the top 5, I believe that will be a signal that the talent gap in T-Town is decaying. My 2 cents. Can you supplement it with portal sure but I still believe the formula for sustained success is top 5 recruiting and pull from the portal strategic needs.You can't look at it in this context any longer. It's in the same sense as we've talked about defensive numbers. The game has changed.
Rarely is there that much of a difference in a #1 class and a #6 class. Or #8. And now with the portal?
As you know we continue to disagree about defensive perfomances as well .
