Thanks ClK
Welcome to the bluff Arness!!

Question for the faithful?
Should this be a year of mainly HS recruits?
Or more Portal Players?

My feeling is best available aka Steeler old philosophy

Chime in guys and Go Dukes

I think with the way things have changed I'd go more to the portal and a little less to the high schooler.

The NCAA has increased the scholarship limit starting next year to 15. This gives more room for development of younger players. I think you swing for the fence in the early recruiting with freshmen, and reload with the transfer portal for unexpected player losses in the spring.

Nice, a bigger PG, who should have every opp to play as a freshman. He chose correctly. :-)
