    So weird that we have done so poorly with development that we always need to hit the transfer portal. We haven't recruited a great WR since Worthy and we done pretty poorly with running backs the last 2 seasons.

    I don't follow UT as much the last few years but has the team had a bunch of injuries to RB's?

    Don’t think it’s a development issue but rather a portal issue.The days of developing and keeping multi-year players are dying if not completely dead. If you’re able to find upgrades through the portal, teams are gonna reroute resources to make it happen.

    What Cignetti is doing at Indiana is going to be the blueprint for teams moving forward.

    Yes quite a bit unfortunately. We’ll be looking at an entirely rebuilt RB room next season

    2 5* RBs blew out their knees 2 years in a row....now both have transferred (officially, I dunno?)

    Wisner was supposed to be the "change of pace" back, slot reciever etc... but he became the full-time guy. Now he's in the portal but has not signed anywhere (officially, I dunno?)

    The 2 transfers and the new 5* kid from Florida have rebuilt the room.

    WR room is also "rebuilt"

    The 2 5* ACL guys I was talking about.

    I hope Clark has success wherever he ends up (UH would be fun), he showed something in the bowl game.
