The more I think about it...if we do make the change

I get that we have some really talented players on this roster. But after the last 2 years, we don't need someone to come in and try to just add some transfers and roll. We need some purging from the roster, too. Yes, it may mean we continue being quite bad for another year or two, but I'd rather make wholesale changes than try to keep patching it. We brought in some good transfers and a good freshman class this year, and it did absolutely nothing for us. The culture has some problems, and we need to fix those problems.

Unfortunately the days of building a team through recruiting are over. Until they fix the transfer/portal the way this is the way teams will be constructed. One way is that every freshmen should be required to be at the school until they are Juniors or they are released by their coach. Just like they used to do.

I disagree. The portal should be for plugging holes. Not building a team. That core comes from your high school recruits.

It should be. But in the world of instant gratification where every freshman and his/her parent think they should be an instant starter the building of a core team is kaput. Thats why I stated that they need to go back to the old model/
