One needs to know the roster management strategy of the program are they a build vs buy. Many are trending toward buying.

CBI - I don't know if I would call it a (differentiated) strategy because everybody is doing it..."buying" that is. It is so much easier and timely to acquire talent than build or develop it based on today's groundrules. I submit "build vs buy" is an economic outcome reality of Covid and the policies of the NCAA. Build vs buy is economics 101 as coaches are going to the path of least resistance in their world of winning baseball games. I see it every day in my line of work, just in a different form of capex or opex. Organizations have to decide between cost and time (now). College baseball is no different at this moment.
