That's a hell of a lot of money for 3 more points from last season.

At this rate of improvement, we won't have another competitive game until 2033.

The OU boards are handwringing about their takes in the trenches for this class, and I don't blame them. 

At OL: they took 2 OGs and nothing else. One of the Guards is a 4 star and the other is a 3 star.

At DL: they took 4 Edge players. One of those is their highest rated recruit, Jake Kreul, who they paid wildly for since Nagy thinks he's a future 1st round pick. The other 3 are mid 3 stars. At DT, they took 2 3 stars and that's it. 

It's kind of wild on the OL front. One of their big issues has been depth and relying on the portal. Bedenbaugh was chastised for that and then signed a big class last year. They're going to have to address the OL through the portal again in the near future with this kind of unevenness. 

They clearly think they're just smarter than everyone else with their DL analysis.

Money. Ball.

Reading between the lines of some comments from the staff, they were pretty hamstrung by the terrible performance across the board last year.  They refer to it as "negative recruiting", but it's just honesty from other programs since confidence was at a generational low.  It really cratered a lot of the 26 class, and rightfully so.  The hope is to address any immediate needs in the portal and hit 27 as hard as possible with the playoff momentum in tow.
