I won't give any certainty that the mid majors guys will translate, but I do think it's a bit different than a few years ago. The efficiency numbers and the measurables of these guys are different and on par with power conference players. Many of them are on pretty significant upward trajectories from previous years to the most recent last year. Only Dual has one more year of eligibility. I'll say this, is GMAC handpicking players at every single position? No, but I feel pretty confident that these guys he is landing are pretty high on his target board and were ahead of guys that if we landed would check the Power Conference box and overall have a flashier feel to the addition that would make the fan base feel better in the offseason. But it's also basketball at the end of the day, so things can get spooky at times, but pretty much every add from these mid majors would be on another power conference roster next season, playing pretty significant roles for those teams, starting or 15 minutes plus per game. Those teams would also be taking a bit of a risk if the games don't translate either to the power conference level. I'm not sure we would say that would be the case a few years ago with some of our pickups then that if we didn't pick them up, they would be playing at another power conference school.
