I think these first few years are gonna be portal heavy to fill out the starting lineup just because we will have to stack HS recruiting classes. Hitting on more Dante Allen's will help that. You can even argue we hit on all 3 of the overseas guys because they're playing minutes and contributing (even though Altuntas and Dovrat seem limited right now). Altuntas/Malovec are FR while Dovrat is a JR. We definitely hit on Shelton. Maddox is up in the air (hoping he develops, former 4*), and hard telling if Kee/Laboy will ever develop into something here - I kinda doubt it. So out of 7 Freshmen, 4 are contributing in the rotation and 1-2 (Dante/Shelton) are starter caliber? Pretty good.
The only 3 losses (aside from possible transfers) are Tre, Malik, and Udeh. Those 3 slots can be portal fills again.
Overall, I think it's a good mix. We fill 1 spot with Gaskins, and plan for 1-2 portal departures along with losing the 3 SRs, so the numbers mean we'll need 4-5 portals, at least 2 of them impact adds. Jai's not going to bring us Duke-esque classes with multiple 5 stars (ever, I think) - but he doesn't have to as long as he uses the portal well to fill in holes with starters as the rest of the roster develops.
