Terrible ! It tells me that he is way more committed to the portal than to secondary school recruiting.

The portal kid(s) situation depends on the quality of the player. There's a lot of stiffs out there in the portal that go from school to school, year after year after year. Some kids are on their 7 th season.

Also, in conjunction with the above, where's the consistency in player development if the kids continue to transfer within the portal ?

Where is NUs next 1,000 point scorer , 500 rebounder and assist leader going to come from ?

For me, it takes a mix. Sure you might want to be top heavy in the portal, but I still think for the name of game and consistency you need at least one or two HS kids in your system. But here's the kicker ! You need a coaching staff and environement that will influence the kid(s) to stay.
Where is NUs next school Hall of Famer coming from ?

Where is the extension of NUs legacy and tradition emanating from ? It would be great to have one or two 4 year kids to help build on that tradition.
