I initially had this view of the portal too. The results of the portal from the first big dive into it are hardly something this program can afford to follow each season. If the hit rate on the portal was 75% or higher and the players were multi year players it would be a different story.

Miami utilized the portal because they wanted to fill their initial counters and improve team talent. Teams don’t dream of using the portal heavily.
Asa Martin and Tommy Kennedy were huge whiffs (also Richt guys) who were actually worse than taking no one if I understand the IC rules.
