People are free to believe as they wish. I, for one, am absolutely concerned with how everything is going to play out, especifically regarding transfer portal. How could a person not be?
Look at the entire tenure of Gundy as HC at OSU. Look at the win/lose record and then look at the roster each season. You will find that Gundy had far more success with a team loaded with SR's. And, obviously, look at the QB for each season. I'd take every QB prior to the upcoming season than the worst QB group of Gundy's tenure. QB recruiting has been an absolute disaster ever since Mike Yurcich left. While Bowman is unknown, the current roster of QB's is without a doubt the worst of Gundy's tenure
I hope we finish in the top 10. Unless Bowman somehow shakes off three years of riding the bench and suddenly becomes top 20 QB at the conclusion of the season, we're gonna realize how devastating the transfer portal affects programs like OSU. It sucks. The big boys can now poach all the overlooked recruits that turned into starters from places like OSU. Gundy's entire tenure was successful because he was able to develop recruits that were overlooked and poaching wasn't an issue. His best teams were loaded with 3-5 years of development. That's not going to happen anymore. Players transfer if they don't get playing time during year one. That's a fact. And for OSU, yikes.
Gundy must now rely on winning the transfer portal lottery every single year. Not good. At all.
