re: Are we going to have to go through this again next year at DT?

OMG!!! Yes you are!!!
You are pissed at BK and “want to hold him accountable for not getting DL out the portal” well you were pissed about Williams and Barrow who both demanded too money, MILLIONS!!!!
Blidi got paid big by Auburn!
West who knows but I guarantee after those deals he isn’t taking chump change to go to Indiana, the place your boy Blidi took have his NIL for 2024 from their collective and bailed before playing a down in 2024, real stand up guy there. Really want that on our team…..

Now the D2 guys who knows they could turn out to be the next Fiske or Verse(probably not but we don’t know).
You just want to hate on BK at every chance you get. Did he not send you a Xmas card or something? Frick you wife in high school? What’s the deal why so much hate for him?

I never said we needed to pay a mediocre DT millions of dollars. I did say that our staff had failed miserably at getting transfer DTs AFTER our head coach publicly said we needed them then our staff whiffing on every single one that visited.

Only problems with your hypothesis:

1. is the failing to get transfer DTs was a result of mediocre DTs wanting millions (Barrow and Williams). Hard to find fault when you agree that it is absurd to overpay for marginal talent.

2. As to Blidi, why overpay for someone who has Jacobian Guillory stats while playing more snaps than Guillory and while playing in the BIG10.

ETA: Question for you: Would you laugh at Auburn if they gave Guillory a $450k NIL deal to secure his services out of the portal?
.
3. West only being available for fall camp, should he actually graduate in August. There is no guaranty that West will be eligible for next year, until he graduates. There is an underlying academic eligibility problem there and not graduating will end his college career. Not worth the risk.

Therefore, the search goes on, patience grasshopper.
