Once Again Girls - All will be fine - Your Portal Concerns will work out fine
They've lost one player that kindof matters - Burham - The rest will be really good at UCLA!

See Cignetti/Saban Blueprint... Then make the 2026 portal a priority. Problem solved. You replaced
Freshman with no experience, two and three-year starters with no production, with two and three-year proven players from other schools. The latter being better than high schoolers.
Yes, teams can fall apart in the portal Era (Clemson), teams can be turned around quickly as well (Indiana, Colorado) *with the right players*.
ND has a deep roster. I honestly think many on this board are so stuck in the sky-is-falling mode, after decades of losing, that they don't know how to handle the success we are now consistently having.
To be and stay at the top, you have to act differently from the herd. The herd is building for one year at a time with collectives. Those that are different are strategically fixing small holes for the long run.
They aren’t building for the long term and got a lot further than we did.

You think IUJMU is building for the long term? Texas Tech?
Wow
Point completely missed. Where did JMU and TT come from? Woa. I think it is pretty easy to see the
blueprint.
Rebuild with quality until you can recruit it and have time to develop it naturally. In the early years, yes it will take more bodies. It's highly likely that every good time will take 5-10 players a year. Most teams will goof it up because they will mischaraterize achieving the goal as being a money problem - see TT. They will constantly go after 1 year wonders and spending more each time to do so. These things typically are short lived and wane in effect.
A few teams will get it right. Recognize that finding underutilized talent and offering a good opportunity and decent money will go a long way in terms of success and longevity. At this point the data, facts and circumstance seem to point to Cignetti being in this camp and not the Texas Tech camp where it appears to be splash, money, and rankings. We'll see how they fare in three years.
I have no idea why you brought in JMU other than it's sort of Cignetti related and to mask that you realize my point was good and just had to spin it in a different direction.
