this year appears will be the first one in a while that won’t have a big splash signee to inflate expectations. maybe for the best.
Agreed. Use that money to retain the talent you have, fill a few gaps, etc. No huge splash xfer at QB so that frees up money + any we were paying departing seniors and portal guys, I'd like to think we have some $$ to play with. Most portal visitors are either FCS and D2 vs. P4 so trying to find good potential without paying handsomely. I find this akin to locating a 2 star in HS that will make the 2 deep in year 2-3. DL and DT def #1 focus area followed by slot WR and then if something else comes up then take a look at it w/out paying a bunch.

Just goes to show what little impact those Swarm registrations have. It’s all about big money donors. Those wells probably went dry with revenue sharing.

It's not going to play well with the crowd that demands shiny new things at all times.
