Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4269596, member: 93"] I'm talking numbers. Didn't 1,700 players enter the portal last season? There is a lot of chaff, and a lot of fool's gold. And also some truth to the "one man's junk is another man's treasure" adage, a la Josh Carlton. I know Hurley claimed to forgo the portal last season in favor of preserving team culture; I think that was more a reflection of what he thought was available as compared to what we knew we already had in Tyler and Isiah, as well as his miscalculation about Jalen. All of which is to say we don't read stories about the 1,500+ transfers that didn't do much to improve their new teams, but from a numbers perspective it has to be the case there are a lot more of them that turn out that way.
