High school recruiting is a really interesting business at the moment ...
Given the way the transfer portal is working PLUS the increasingly Charmin-soft quality of top players that are used to everybody sucking their dicks ...
3* MWC all-star recruits coping POTD.
No - it's understanding that with the number of players that go into the transfer portal that attrition within programs is at an all-time high so finding the right balance between players that can come in and develop in your program (and remain happy) and supplementing that roster with experienced players transferring in is paramount.
We're seeing this at extreme levels in college hoops where the blue bloods seem to be focusing more than ever on transfers as the elite HS prospects are increasingly going to the G-league or overseas.
If you can’t recruit elite HS players you’re not winning a NC. You can play the portal all you want but you’re not going to be a serious title contender if that’s your strategy.
See UGA.
I see UGA and I see no scenario where Oregon is like them in any way. Especially not with a Keg Boy fucking coach where young inexperienced coaches don't even make the CFP let alone win them.
