Yep with the new landscape of college football, starting with the transfer portal, then adding NIL, re-building years shouldn't exist any longer for the competitive teams. A lot of talent to go around, go find it. Texas didn't do shit to replace the offensive talent they lost last year. aggy saw they had an offensive weakness and went out and loaded up on WRs. Gone are the days of teams like Bama stockpiling talent back when players wanted to go to those teams at a chance for a ring. They are going to go where they can start. And with NIL, no longer certain programs having the edge because they do it under the table and others wouldn't participate.
Absolutely no excuse for a school like Texas to struggle to replace and re-load players. They got out-did by Tech and aggy this past offseason. When does Ohio State ever really have a down year? Ever since I have been a senior high school (2003), Ohio State is always there. And that was even in the old days of no NIL, transfer portal. The talent of WRs they land year after year, I am jealous. Bama used to put those rosters together, too.
