Nice to have these additions to the roster but it feels like we are building a strong mid-major roster, not one that will do well in the ACC.  I hope for the best, expect the worst.

That may be true, but it’s still better than using volunteers from the bleachers (other than BobK, of course, who’s money from 3, I hear), which is what I was worried we might be looking at…

I don't disagree, which is why I wrote nice to have the additions to the roster.  Still, it is a big jump from the MAC or American Conference to the ACC.  Our roster is way, way down from last year in terms of recruiting profile and proven P4 players.  Unless we are playing portal musical chairs against after next season, we are loading up on players who may or may not be able to hang with better or even middling P4 teams.  Gotta save some spots for 2027/2028 recruits.  The 2026 class is not a highly rated one if we go by the usual recruiting services.  The fall off has been very steep by that metric.
