Given our limited NIL budget HS recruits may be a better way to go since the proven guys in the portal are more desirable by schools and will cost more. Not saying I’d abandon the portal but we need to be smart with what little we have.

Cameron Salerno is not a dink
With as explosive is the USC offense can be going for it is probably safer than taking the fg anyway. At worst it’s a tie game going to ot rather than losing by 4.
IMO with the gophers limited NIL funds they can’t afford to overlook/undervalue prep recruiting. Old typically wins so yes getting transfers is needed but if they’re less talented it won’t get us the results we desire.
