Going to shoot it real with you guys….
We have significantly increased our NIL funds and player retention stuff over the last 2 years (probably in the 10-20 range). But there’s 5-10 schools in the country that until we have major donors donate year after year— we (nor 98% of schools in the country) can’t touch. That’s the unfortunate reality with what we have right now. And even if ones comes along— you have to sustain it year after year.
That said, we are going to be fine portal rise and with roster contention next year. We are going to have a team that will host next year and a team that will be in the Top 20 again next year. But with what we have and are committing to the program it caps at an Elite 8 level if you get a good draw as a 3 seed or 2 seed. We do have enough to compete at the top of the ACC and earn a top 4 seed each year.
The portal isn’t even open yet, technically. That’s said, we do have players we have identified that have said they are entering the portal. We are going to get some good player (s) on campus and good commit (s) out of the portal.
