How many of those 25-50 guys that have committed did we have offers out to?    If we weren't recruiting them, what difference does it make whether they are no longer available?     If we lose out on the top 25 guys that we are actually recruiting it isn't like we can just latch onto a bunch of the 25-50 guys that we haven't laid the ground work with.  Rather than count the number of guys that remain available or that have committed, just focus on who we have been chasing and how many of them are off the board vs. still out there?

I'm not saying I know that that picture is prettier, just feel like a lot of the guys that we are heavily involved with at the top of the class remain available.     So I don't think it pays to focus on all the 25-50 guys leaving the field, if they weren't really going to be likely targets anyway.      Also, not sure how reasonable it is for us to think we can successfully recruit top 25 - 50 guys to come in behind and in the same class as a top 25 guy at the same position.     Those guys probably aren't going somewhere intending to be apprentices.    Presumably we have put some time in on guys that are lower ranked than that to fill out the class behind the Plan A guys and hopefully those guys remain available and aren't committed yet, and they might be willing to serve the apprenticeship role behind the top 25 guys.    Those are probably the guys that become the primary focus of Plan B, if Plan A is a complete bust.
