Every year I always wonder how it will play out the 5 star transfer vs 3-4 star developmental debate. Is it better to get a lower rated guy and develop him just for him to chase the bag, or get the 5 star you have to chase WITH the bag and they’re not as good as you thought then end up transferring outQuality depth and roster continuity are two aspects that will be difficult to maintain in the portal era. That 5* leaving might not be living up to expectations, but replacing his experience and maturity with a 5* true freshman doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve upgraded your roster.
They’ll always have more talent than most teams, but you’ll see the effects of not having a two and three deep roster of 4* and 5* players that have been in the system for 2+ years eventually take its toll.
There’s something to be said for developing players under a stable coaching staff for a number of years. It helps build a foundation. When you’re constantly taking pieces of that foundation and replacing it with new parts it’s not as solid.
