Who's next?

Joe.

Joe, go ahead, Joe.

The wolf, you're right, the wolf.

Yeah, but I don't think the Tyron Stokes thing is any different than what's been going on all year.

I think the issue going forward, and I hate it, I don't think it's recoverable, is that Mark Pope has no respect from the coaches in college basketball that are going up against him, the other schools, and now the recruits.

He's a pawn.

And he's going to have to do something so outside of the box, going overseas and build a team to be successful, and I'm just not sure that's sustainable for the long term.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, it's hard to know.

I appreciate the call.

I mean, I don't talk to other coaches or recruits, Ryan, so I can't say what they think.

I know what the national media thinks.

It was very eye-opening to me when I was at the East Regional.

And you –

You know, I think I told this story, but on – the East Regional was Friday night and Sunday in D.C.

Saturday night I watched games with probably 15 national media members.

And they were talking to each other.

They weren't just talking to me.

And they talked about a lot of things.
