    Yep. Mullen was great at convincing non-stars to:
    1st year - redshirt
    2nd year - play special teams and play your position in blowouts
    3rd year - play special teams and be a 2nd stringer
    4th year - be 1st or 2nd string
    5th year - be 1st or 2nd string

    Lots of marginal talent helped us win because they developed and matured. This doesn't count stars like Jeffrey Simmons, Chris Jones, etc. who could play early. I'm talking about lightly recruited guys with no NFL future. Guys won't be patient and develop in the NIL era. Even the marginal players want to play early or they will head off to Southern Miss.

    If I hit the lottery then this would be what I waste my money on.

    The Ncaa will change the portal back to what it was in the near future. It has turned into total chaos.
