I just listened to Ben's question and TT's answer again and noticed something. His answer is very specific and it comes across like he has answered this question before. Listen to what he says:
"When we first arrived here we lost 17 players in the transfer portal. 13 of them starters, 6 of them offensive linemen. And then we lost another 6 starters this past in this past cycle. So we lost our most experienced players and have had to replace them with young guys ...."
He rattled that off in a way as if that was very much not the first time he has given this explanation, whether it be to the members of his staff, recruits, Stanford administration etc.
Very enlightening in my opinion. Again, amazing question Ben, we learned a LOT from his answer into what his happening behind the scenes
