I'm 100% with you on this. Taking portal players is just very hit and miss. TSJ and MM just didn't ever seem to fit in. Encouraged by the freshmen and incoming recruits. It would be so much better to build a team the old fashioned way, through recruiting and avoid the portal when possible unless absolutely necessary.
I think it was maybe just the wrong type of portal addition. If I'm BU, I'm thinking two "super Sr.'s" are going to come with a lot more leadership and team buy in. MM was honestly the antithesis of this for most of the year. I'd love to know more about the mid season dust up prior to Skyy leaving.
TSJ just may not be personality suited for a leadership role.
CoHawk was the natural choice, but I think he didn't assert himself early on because of the presence of guys like TSJ and MM.
