For the love of all things maroon and white, please allow the man and his staff room to maneuver as they see fit. We will win some portal battles and we will lose some portal battles. This will NEVER change from year to year. Dudy Noble was not built overnight and this completed roster will not either. If he lays turds, by all means fire away. However, that is not remotely the case so far. He and his staff have been very good and are still working.
I don't think anyone is mad that he's kept the pieces we have or that we've pulled a few of the UVA pieces. I think there's always going to be consternation when you know you need pieces and you haven't yet gotten the pieces. The facts are that we need a 1B, SS, C, and at least 2-3 arms. Now they do still have time to get those pieces so it's not a massive concern on June 17th. Now if we're still missing those same pieces on July 7th then we may have an issue. And look, fair or not, we have a HC making 2.9 million with a NIL/rev share warchest of 3 million+. When you're paying and donating like that, people want results and they aren't too patient about it.
