exactly, he mentioned that one time
In talking about the portal and challenging of recruiting, He said he basically has to go in the framework, that he has to recruit the entire team EVERY year. There is no guarantees. This is why he recruits a special mentality player
His program's are one of transparencies between the entire staff and players, this includes all metrics of performance, and evaluations and where they stand. They also have close discussions with the players to see any concerns, and happy, and if they get offers they come to the staff and they discuss it frankly.... They promote what is best for the player and his family, and if VT doesn't offer that great....Its not because VT doesn't try.
I think our coach is a special type of coach who thinks like a NFL General Manager and player development executive, he knows his players, where they stand, who has the up and who is flatlining, and at the same time, going out for 1) long term program high school recruiting, and 2) supplementing for immediate needs Portal, and VT has a competitive NIL program. I would say, our staff, thinks in signing portal guys a Return of Investment to the program. Maybe its a better RPI for an amazing FCS Group of 5 guy over 5 star in the portal, and also other specialties include (did we initially recruit them and they selected another, and still interested great...

Given a RB's shelf life in the NFL is small compared to the other positions

A player that is scared away by competition, isn't a player you want
