you know, look back really fondly on that group of guys and the way that they competed and connected as the year went on.

One.

One.

But it's not just an RMU problem.

It's not just a Horizon League problem.

You know, Baylor had zero players last year in April.

So it's everywhere.

It's from Division III to the highest levels of Power 5 basketball.

If you are a Division III player, you're trying to get to Division II or Division I. If you're a Division II player, you're trying to get to Division I. If you're a low-major player, you're trying to get to mid-major.

If you're mid-major, you're trying to get to high-major.

If you get to high-major and you sink, you're trying to go back down to the mid-major, the low-major level so you can put some stats up.

So everybody's dealing with it.

It's not unique.

I think early on in the transfer portal era, there was a lot of guys trying to move up the ladder.

Now it's guys moving everywhere.

The supply greatly outweighs the demand.

And that's why I think there's got to be some understanding as players go into the portal often as to, am I going to have a landing spot?

Now I think with people getting through the COVID year that was had,

some of the eligibility rules that potentially could come out to kind of solidify the length of time you can be in college, you know, some of the supply will shrink.

But it's really hard right now if you're a high school player.
