"So the fact the vast majority of our players are staying and playing must say something about the job Kalani is doing".
We lost 7 starters from the year earlier and how many more graduated? He simply is giving you a rose colored glasses view of the world.
But no I don't believe we got more positive in last year than we lost. Feel free to do the analysis and get back to me. But, and this is a big but (only one T, keep your head out of the gutter) the reason we get so many guys from the portal is because we have recruited so poorly. The opportunity to play is ever abundant at positions all over the field.
