You are a very fair and honest poster, both in your assessments and analysis.
I do believe that reliance on the Portal is problematic, you just don't get enough impact players who can contribute for four years. Fortunately for Ole Miss (and a few other schools), the NCAA has removed the IC limits for the next couple of cycles.
I am not disagreeing with you that Ole Miss pursues the Portal hard, I just don't think that's an approach that would pay the same dividends at Miami, thus Lane Train was not gonna be a good fit at Miami for many, many reasons.
