When a team loses 31 xfers, some fat/excess goes, certainly. But when one debones a chicken or beefsteak, some muscle gets cut away as well as fat. Heck, tOSU made ND's portal season all by ourselves...IMHO. Appears to me that tOSU's sophomore and junior cadre has been gutted by transfers, making the team more dependent upon the portal. And am not convinced that the coaching staff can make as great an impact on the 3-4-5 year players coming in, as they would on the 1-2-3 year recruits. While I'm not as critical of Pantoni as some of the above, kinda hard to look at someone's tape (which is made up of their GOOD plays, not their average plays) to get a feel for a kid. And is folly to read the news clippings of a guy, and make an educated decision as to make them an instant millionaire. With the huge money being thrown around for HCs, the pressure is being put upon them for instant success. And Cignetti is the poster boy certainly. Wouldn't be surprised if each and every new HC hire is being compared to him, with no earthly idea whether this new guy can 'redo' as well as Cignetti has done. And the leash on said HC will be shorter.
