Without the depth, full of players recruited from HS, they would not be 12-0.who’s playing in their starting lineup ….it ain’t their HS kids
Teams need depth to be competitive (Getting to about 8 wins). The portal can push teams that would otherwise be 8/9 win teams to 11/12 win teams. Like FSU.
A 4 win team built solely off the portal is not going to become a 8/9 win team just by hitting the portal up. Plus they got to make up for guys they lose in the portal too.
The portal is great when used right, and is a must in today's college football landscape, but it has its limits.
