If I was running a major program I would focus more of my efforts on recruiting OL and DL from High School. Everything else including QB is plentiful in the portal every year.

If only you understood the dumbassery of your statement.

So you use all nil money on 5 star lineman. Second year in 5 start lineman aren’t starting because of previous 5 star lineman starting. This you’re in the portal looking for starting lineman.

While I agree that championships are usually won at then line of scrimmage, and OL and DL should be a huge focus every year, your idea is just dumb.

My strategy would be to have plenty of cocaine and hookers around.

Just about every position is plentiful in the portal every year, literally like close to 2k players hit the portal each year

The idea is you need to balance things with high school and portal. You cant expect to have great consistent results taking 15-20-25 kids out the portal each year and only taking a dozen or less from high school. You build no culture around those teams and even portal players take time to get acclimated to new schools and systems.

OL and DL are some of the hardest positions to recruit out of HS because its hard to get a read on if a guy is really good or just bigger and stronger than the HS kids he plays against. a guy that is 6'5 315 is gonna push around most HS DEs that are in the 6'2 215 weight range. Can that guy do it against a guy that 6'5 270 and runs like a deer?

If anything, Lineman are easier to identify out of the portal cuz you have seen them go against guys their own size.
