This is a great point. Our fans want the portal to be like MLB free agency and it just isn't really ever going to be like that. You really only are going to have a handful of Skenes/Montgomery types in the portal every year. And when I say handful I'm probably being optimistic. Thus, we are never going to be able to build a team through the portal and have that be sustainable. We and EVERYONE else is going to have to rely on high school recruiting primarily to build our team. Even LSU this year- the majority of their team was built through recruiting at the high school and JUCO level.
