Well, looking at our recruiting and portal classes this year, it doesn't look like we blew our wad on one season. In fact, if anything I'd say we blue-balled ourselves.
Here's an article from 2023 talking about the blue chip ration and schools who won the NC from 2013-2023. says these ratios do npt include transfers, but just recruited players. But does does allude that coaching and development count to build your base and plug holes from the portal.

The next article is current rankings and shows what "star rankings" they picked up and lost and "adjusted NIL value". I have no idea what that means. NU is ranked 30th, 16 in and 17 out, gained/lost 1 4* and gained/lost 15 3* so an even swap. Alleged NIL is $2 Mil (no idea how calculated), but an adjustment of +$364k. Again, no idea what that means.
Oddly enough, winning didn't seem to impact rankings, but numbers of transfers in dod seem to positively impact. Indy was #1 with 17 players. Grabbed 3 4* guys and 13 3*. Adjusted NIL shows increase of +$5.4 mil. Again, no explanatin given as to what that means....

didn't the washington QB do the same thing and he got out of the newly signed contract? not sure what the team can do if the player wants to leave. if they stop him and he doesn't want to stay he can just sit and collect the money i guess
He said he was going to but then backtracked.

The B1G has a contract all schools are using. It will cost the kids money if they break it. I think the Wash QB's agent told him he was screwed.

2026 College Football Team Transfer Portal Rankings
The 2026 college football transfer portal team rankings.
Note the description of that ranking carefully. It's not a ranking of how strong a team's portal class is relative to other teams! Rather, it's a score that looks at what a team gained from the portal vs what they lost to the portal - did they net gain or lose talent.
Our score of 7 on that metric means that we had a modest net gain from the portal. The top ten teams all had scores of 30+, meaning they got a much bigger upgrade in talent relative to what they previously had.
247's portal ranking is more traditional. We're #35 there. What kinda concerns me is the average rating is 86.80 for the portal class - we're usually in the 87 or 88 range, and 89 is the minimum if you want to be on the good side of that blue chip ratio.

Getting flipped by the HC that hates the portal….if true. And our deep pockets. This sucks. Again, if true.
