I don't think it's likely that another prospect will join that top two group, but I have had this question posed to me by a few people, like how many players would go number one overall in the 2024 draft from the 2025. Right. And I do think Casperis would go number one in 2024. Okay. Uh, Look, Ace Bailey, I'm sure we'll talk about him, like fascinating player.

I think if you ask GMs right now, would they take Ace Bailey over whoever they had at number one, which was very widespread and different for every front office last year? I think that some would take Ace Bailey. So I think it'd be like three and a half right now would be my response. But I would say in terms of like real franchise changing players, talent. Cooper flag is absolutely that.

I think Dylan Harper could be that for sure. I really liked Dylan. He's like right on that precipice of like tier one, tier two grade for me. Uh, I love everything I've seen from Dylan Harper. Uh, all of the Intel with Dylan is extremely, extremely high level, much like it is for Cooper. Uh, Cooper's Intel is just like some of the best Intel like I've gotten about a prospect.

Uh, and then Dylan's is also exceptionally high level. So I, There aren't a lot of red flags with either of those players, and I think that's what's so exciting about those two particularly.

It's not like they don't have guys, but... I'm fairly worried about the scoot Henderson experience at this point. I do think that like a coaching change is in order there.
