Watching the Peach Bowl, the comments are about Indiana’s use of the portal. Cignetti says he values production over potential. Made me think our portal philosophy has largely been the opposite. Am I wrong?

He also highly values some rather obscure physical attributes, like the range of flexibility in certain joints like ankles and knees. His approach is different.

We can’t evaluate, we just pick the highest star on the board that we can afford

You’re not wrong. We’re taking a bunch of 3* redshirt FR. They won’t help us much this fall & will be back in the portal next year.

You can tell by watching him he dances to the beat of a different drummer but that’s a good thing. Kind of a mad scientist with a little rain man sprinkled in.

I for one don’t believe Lebby has a portal philosophy, except for maybe get a fast WR. The rest of it I think Lebby is just hoping for the best.

Yea, there is no intelligent design. the OU situation where he could scheme with four and five stars against big 12 three stars is basically what he’s trying to do now in the sec, obviously won’t work.

Same with Moorhead. And Croom for that matter. All I heard was that they needed to get “their” players in.

Why the 17 would he want to continue to stay in this "**** Show" called college football today and continue to kiss the azzes of 'here today gone tomorrow' mercenaries that 99% of will be broke a few years after they finish playing?

I thought the same right after I posted. Was like yeah that’s a duh. But was too lazy to edit, just figured I’d take the ridicule.
