Cheaper than I expected, honestly

This one particularly feels like he's expecting monster things from the 25-26 team. Going to Birmingham this year is a no-lose situation with all the turnover this off-season. We win, great we're ahead of schedule; we lose, so what we're still gelling. Lining up Alabama in the UC the...

I'm reading way too much into this. We have three spots open, only adding one more still leaves us two open. Breadcrumb that someone is locked up already?

You're going to see it more often as players realize it's just better business to enter the portal and get out a bit more from your current team.

Honestly reminds me of Prof. Horace Slughorn from the Harry Potter series. Doesn't matter how, but his only mission is to be associated with famous people and part of their developement, even if he was a mediocre professor and did nothing to develop them because they were already great. Cal...
