If everybody goes all in on the portal, there's not going to be anybody to get out of a portal because nobody's going to get developed.

So, you know, you know, it's kind of like when people talk about like our jobs and they talk about, you know, chat GPT, your aggregators are going to steal all the jobs.

Well, if there's no real journalists, there's nothing left to aggregate.

I kind of look at it the same way with this, where it's like,

If nobody's recruiting and developing the players, then there's no one good to go get in the portal.

So I think there still has to be a balance there.

It can't be like, oh, we're just going to go build a new team through the portal every year.

No, I don't.

I don't.

And I don't think they want to go as far as an Indiana has in terms of, you know, being, you know, very transfer portal heavy.

I do think I mean, we just saw it.

They just signed a 28 man freshman class.

You look at for right now, I believe they're ranked as the number one class for twenty twenty seven.

So there's clearly still a big emphasis being placed by Ohio State.

on high school recruiting you know as multiple of you mentioned you know ohio state does have an ability to recruit at the high school level that a lot of schools don't that that is forcing some other schools to be heavier in the portal so i i do think that you know i i would agree you know some of the percentages that you know you guys have said that i think you know in terms of those impact players you're probably looking at about a third of those guys i think

being portal guys.

I think when the dust ultimately settles on this year, that's probably about how it's going to cycle out of about a third of the guys being portal guys and about two thirds being guys who were recruited by Ohio State.

Dan Hope, you got any advice for Ohio State here?

Yeah, I mean, I think in terms of the original question of like, can Ohio State prevent this?

I don't really think it can.
