Doing some research on players that was recruited and stayed the 4 years at LU. These players are in no order. Also just kids that LU recruited from HS and didn't get out of portal. Most if not all that transferred out really didn't do anything at the next school they attended.

Question: In this day and time do you continue to recruit HS players, or do you just hit the portal every year hoping to retain as many as possible?

We absolutely should continue to hit the HS recruiting trail. Because of the portal the big boys will be getting more players from other schools. HS players who would have been recruited to those schools will be left out and we have the potential to get some high quality recruits who would be ready to play for us. Of course the chances are there that they may move on after a couple years. But we also could catch one every now and then who comes in, loves the school, program and culture and stays for his entire college career. I say you get the best players you can who fit the culture, whether they are from HS or TP.
