But would you have said that going into the season, without the pleasure of hindsight?
And there is a balance, but fans have to realize that sometimes the guys in the Portal won't have the big names with stars next to them. And that's where the issue lies between fans and actual team. Going into the season everyone talked about Ethan Onianwa being the next great OT at OSU, and Phillip Daniels was an afterthought who wouldn't contribute for another year... Logan George(63) and Beau Atkinson(15) is who OSU got at DE in the Portal, IU got Stephen Daley (84) and Kellan Wyatt(91), I don't think anyone would've wanted that swap before the season. In hindsight it looks bad, but we don't have that luxury in real time. I doubt any OSU fan would've wanted Day to pursue a Cal QB transfer, over former 5star and Bama transfer Sayin. Some guys pan out, and others don't. But the transfers you only have a year for them to pop, whereas HSers have multiple years, and their bodies can still develop and they can still be taught some good practice and work habits
