Field Apparel. Welcome back to the Back Home
Network Emergency podcast series.
I feel like we've been doing a lot of these this summer,
gentlemen, and that's a good thing.
We need as many emergency podcasts as possible, especially
with AIU men's basketball. We could use some klaxons and
and some alarm bells going off all over the place as we find
that IU has now landed their first recruit for the 2026
class, Prince Alexander Moody, announcing about three hours ago
that he is committed to Indiana men's basketball.
We're going to talk about it. We've got Mike Wiemuth and Bob
Moats from XS and Joe's. I'm Galen Clavio from Crimson
Cast amongst other shows on the platform.
And we are happy to have you folks joining us here on a
Friday night at 8:40 PM. And guys, this was one of those
that we kind of heard it was one of two commitments that Indiana
could potentially have landed. They were in the final 4/4, but
they land this one and you both have had a chance to to see
Prince Alexander Moody a little bit and and do some scouting on
us. We wanted to get your thoughts
on things. First of all, just quick
reminder to everybody. We are brought to you by Home

front matter out of the way. Let's dive into chapter one.
This a recruit that is coming out of the DMV.
So Kenny Johnson's fingerprints all over it.
This is why you bring a guy like Kenny Johnson on staff, and
we'll dive into that a little bit here later, but let's focus
on the player. Prince Alexander Moody's 644
star shooting guard chooses Indiana over a variety of power
conference schools. Michigan State, Georgetown,
Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, among others.
Mike, let me start with you, I guess a little bit.
Give us an overview of who Prince Alexander Moody is, what
his game is like, so on and so forth.
Sure, yes, the quick and dirty sort of rundown on him.
He's a fast rising shooter attacker playing for the number
one AU team in the country right now.
Team Takeover is the number one team ranked in in the EYBL at at
this stage. He also plays with for Bishop
McNamara for high school. And McNamara plays in the
Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, which is, you know,
like one of the most elite conferences in the country,
especially on the East Coast. That's where you see like
DeMatha, Bishop O'Connell, St. Paul, the 6th, Archbishop
Carroll, just like a lot of the the elite, you know, like magnet
schools that you see like in the, the DMV area to describe
him a little bit more specifically.
Yeah, he's a a, he's AI would say his shooting is definitely
the part that's starting to make his stock rise.
If you looked at his stats, let's say like a year or two
ago, he was a shooter in terms of making attempts.
He just was not that great at making them.
You see a lot of his stat lines where he would go like one for
seven one night and two for 8 the next and maybe occasionally
get like a, you know, a three for six or a four for 8:00.
But he was pretty safely like in the low 30s in terms of his
numbers. Now you've seen lately he's
definitely starting to rise in terms of his just his
efficiency. I mean, he's still shooting
about like, you know, 7-8 threes a game, but now he's like more
consistently making four or five a game.
And so, and also his three third percentage is also kind of like,
you know, spiked up. I think he's like safely above
80% now. So like when you're doing
scouting on players in terms of their shooting and how it like
transitions into college, you definitely see a correlation of
those kids that can shoot like 38% and above from three with
some volume. And also like, you know, safe
80% and above those the kids that you definitely feel pretty
confident you're going to be able to transition to college
and be able to be like pretty efficient shooters from deep.
So that's the shooting part. Good defender.
He's got great length. I've not seen his actual
wingspan. They haven't published that on
him yet, but just eyeballing him he looks like he's a decent +45,
at least in terms of his wingspan.
And I also say his handle is definitely, I know they list him
as a point guard. I and Bob and I have kind of
talked about this. I think he's like a natural,
natural point guard. I think he can be, maybe he
develops a little bit better as time goes on.
I think he's definitely like, let's say a backup point guard,
but more like a guy you put off the ball and can do some like
secondary ball handling. But I I definitely see him being
a really effective guy. You you swing the ball to either
takes a quick shot or just, you know, attacks the clothes out.
The kind of guy that you know, Bob and I've been, you know,
begging you to recruit more of over the last, you know,
several. Years Andrew Nemhardt model of
guard. The way the Pacers use them, I'm
guessing. Exactly And and I will I will
make my, you know, one use of my 1 Baylor reference per week
right now. But yes, the Baylor 2021 kind of
guards you saw, he definitely kind of fits into that model,
so. Yeah, Bob, what?
What else We got on on Prince Alexander Moody and this
recruitment. Are you surprised that he ends
up landing here as he was? He was offered by Maryland,
which is in his backyard. Illinois was in on him as well.
We mentioned Michigan State and Georgetown.
You know, this is the type of player that IU once recruited
and got and then didn't for a long time and seems to now be
going after in earnest again. And and here's their first
success with it. I think First off, you know,
looking at this from how it fits into an overall picture of
recruiting, we're looking at a kid that was that that's coming
from the East Coast. The DMV.
Again, one of the one of the main hotspots and might be the
first one to tell you kind of, you know, as you kind of go
along and go along along along this corridor, it's that eastern
most part where you want to be very involved and you want to
make sure you're you're, you're, you're, you're there, which is
the code back to the Kenny Johnson kit.
You know, you look at the programs that we're recruiting
him that we were going, that IU was going up against.
That's this is the sort of player that you know, I you, I,
you, I, you has been needing to get and has not really gotten in
the bulk that they needed to over the last over the last
really two decades. Explains why you have certain
like, wait, wait, you have power forwards playing your three
spot, for lack of a better term. Now that you have him, you know,
Prince, Prince Alexander Moody, he fits a, a, a profile that
we're seeing with Darren Devries as well.
What we're seeing with him is we're seeing a, you know, he's
he's getting a couple leads, getting a couple bigs, but he's
really filling that middle with six, four to 6-8 guys who can
shoot the ball and drive the ball.
As Mike said. And you know, I was watching it,
you know, but what the film I watched on him, he's being at
his and his high school program is being used as a point guard
for Team Takeover. He's more that off guard kind of
small wing position. He's not.
And, and this is, this is not a knock.
This is a knock on, not really a knock on a player.
It's just kind of where you are developmentally.
So many times players at this stage of their development,
they've been asked to score their whole lives.
And what they're looking to do coming off the screen or when
they get the ball is immediately look to score.
And the good thing about about Moody is that he hits, you know,
when he hits the lane, he's he's landing in two feet.
He is looking for a shot going and elevating to the college
game. He once he attacks those close
outs, he's going to see and learn better how to deliver the
pass in the right location to the right spot off the read.
He reads well enough to attack the close out at the right time
currently, which is a good sign. He he makes the right decision
there. He can also get his own shot on
the perimeter. We're talking about that with
the last recruit, the the kid from Serbia that we just talked
about very similar where he can kind of get his own shot in
those in those areas and, and, and kind of figure out when to
do that. But I think from from that
standpoint, you know, this is again the sort of player that
you need an entire roster of, you know, a AA98 or nine players
like this to fill in with a couple points and a couple bigs
and you've got yourself a roster that that can compete at at a
high level. Mike, it's an interesting thing
is I've looked at his rankings and where he sits.
There's a real delta in terms of how the recruiting services have
looked at him. I mean, I've seen him as low as
170th in one set as a three star.
He's 104th, I think with Rivals as a four-star.
Like is there a good explanation for that variance in terms of
how he's being scattered, especially when you consider the
programs that had offers in for him?
Like it's clearly a guy that a lot of really good programs are
trying to get. But it is interesting and, and I
maybe you have an explanation on this, why there's not quite the
same level of consistent evaluation from the scouting
services. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, we could do a whole pot on that alone, but.
But don't we? Don't we have a whole show that
does this? I don't know, I.
Haven't heard there's. A show called Nexus.
And Joe's secrets unlocking by or What's the tagline, Bob?
Decoding the way the winning formula in college basketball.
Yeah. Yeah, well, if you trust those
guys, I mean, be careful. I I wouldn't, yeah.
No. So, yeah, you'll, you'll get
variances between the services just because the some of it is
just timing, because the updates come at different times.
And so kid like, you know, pops up a little bit.
The service that does the most recent update is going to have a
high-ranking for the kid, you know, versus the one that's
still like lagging. Also, you have to kind of
consider that he plays again with, he plays with some really
good talent around him on his high school team.
Kaden Samuels is the wing forward at McNamara.
He is probably maybe the most, maybe the second or third most
skilled wing in in the whole class.
He's like a top 20 recruit for 2026.
And Samuels is also on Team Takeover along with Jordan
Smith, who is another recruit you may be hearing about up in
the future for IU And hopefully, hopefully a lot.
Jordan Smith's probably the most exciting guard in college or
high school basketball this year.
I, I don't want to do a scouting report, but just easy for IU
fans. The kind of vision he he's like
Eric Gordon with dreadlocks. I mean, the kid is just like
built explosive. Like, I mean, literally like
chin on rim, kind of like elevation and just, you know,
skilled but very aggressive. He's going to be a great player.
I mean, and so he's playing with those kids already.
All right. So there's there's always going
to be some variance in terms of the ratings in terms of when
you're playing with kids that are that you know, like just
surrounded with talents like OK, is is this kid this good?
Because he is like the third option on this team versus is
he, you know, or is he really contributing what we think we
could if you took those good players away from him.
So there's a variety of reasons. We're going to get some ranking
variance. I will say this personally,
just, you know, doing my own sort of like basic rankings if I
were categorizing him just based upon, you know, what his scout
is, from what I see, he kind of aligns with about a 70 to 90
kid. Which was where he was about a
year ago. And Mike mentioned the shooting
issues that he was having. And you know, sometimes, you
know, kids when they're growing, I mean kids, they, it, it,
they're, sometimes they're, they're shot changes their body,
their body changes. They put on more weight, they
put on more muscle. They're they're they're
maturing. And so sometimes you see a
little bit of a wall and they're shooting where, OK, they were
maybe hitting at a better clip when they were 413 or 14 and 15.
And when they're 615-1617, they kind of go through a process
where they're kind of re kind of re reforming or kind of their
bodies kind of rebuilding a little bit.
The other part of this, and this is I think the kind of the
critical thing is in this is like Mike and I do talk about a
little bit. It's I've always felt like, you
know, the recruiting, the recruiting industry and the way
they rank has just now began to start valuing shot creation and
shot making as a key skill. Because when you would go back
to the rankings, I would go over the last, you know, maybe 10
years ago, even five years ago, you saw a lot of talking about
handle talking about court vision, talking about past
delivery, talking about getting to the rim, that that sort of
blow by speed. Or they would talk about bigs
and their ability to playing over there up over the rim and
their ability to, you know, just to be athletically more gifted
or skills wise. Those were the skills that were
prioritized. And what we're finding now is a
lot of players I felt were undervalued, who were considered
to be shot creators and shot makers.
And you're beginning to see the rankings try to catch up with
that. Well, part of the problem with
that is now you when you when you look at a world where you
have weeds, bigs, everybody else, and now you're trying to
figure out how to evaluate everybody else, there's going to
be some disagreement. There's going to be some churn
trying to just say, well, is this kid, is this kid projecting
to be a 38% three-point shooter in college basketball at
Division One or is he a 32 percent, 30% three-point
shooter? If I'm looking at a player that
this kid reminds me of, like how he could be utilized, think
Jamaya Neil who played at Creighton this past year and he
was a sub 3330% three-point shooter in this time at Arizona
State, 65 wing player could get his own shot.
He got better at making assists his senior year, especially when
the Creighton system, and then he got his three-point shot over
30%. I feel like this kid is very
similar to Neil, except I think he's a better shooter from the
perimeter and definitely from the line.
Yeah. And again, it's kind of both
from let me start with the recruiting archetypes.
It does feel like there was kind of a a referendum against combo
guards in the eyes of the recruiting services for a while
and not knowing how to deal with them.
And now we're seeing the way that basketball has kind of
evolved over the last 10 years or so.
This is becoming an archetype that you want on your team, as
you guys have mentioned and and clearly the archetype that
Darren Devries is looking for, as you mentioned, Mike, a bunch
of guys who are switchable defensively, who can do multiple
things offensively, who can be on ball or off ball.
Yeah, you hope the shooting translates.
I've seen some people bring up like the EYBL numbers are not as
good as the high school numbers are.
But I think is is important to remember you're talking about
different roles being played as you go up in the collective
level of talent that you're playing with.
Which is something that you're likely going to see for most
college players coming off their high school teams or their AAU
teams, where suddenly they're playing with a bunch of players
who are significantly better than the players they were
playing with and maybe significant better,
significantly better than they are, at least to start with.
But another kind, it does kind of feel like a developmental
piece. And we've heard a lot of people
talk about, I don't mean developmental in terms of like
going to need two or three years to get going, but a guy who can
grow and stick around for a while if he sees a, a, a, a
place for himself within the program and the ability to grow
his game. And as we've seen, you can't
just live in the transfer portal.
You're going to need to have guys who can stick around for a
few years. And especially with the way that
Debris set up the roster this year, you're going to need that
hand off next year of guys who can learn the system, get it
underway and then be a sustainable force as the roster
continues to coalesce and hopefully add some players that
may only be here for a season. Yeah, I, I think the, the idea
of grabbing kids that are actually showing that they're
improving in the moment is really key because you see so
often, you know, and then unfortunately I just been bitten
by this in the past where they will, they'll get a kid that
maybe had good, had good credentials, let's say their
junior year in high school, but maybe kind of just like leveled
off in their senior year. But we're, but they were still
kind of being viewed as, oh, wait a minute.
But you know, he was a top 50 kid when he was, you know, a
junior. But of course, you know, some of
those kids because they plateau out then they suddenly become
like more like a 150 kind of kid.
You see, like, you know, Moody's one of these kids that is
definitely like spiking up. He's again, his skill set again,
not just a shooting. I mean, his ability to like
create lateral separation. He's kind of developed even
better left hand that he's had before.
So you know, a lot of these facets of his game that you kind
of see that you need to have when you're going to, you know,
like upper tier college basketball.
He's he's starting to develop those, you know, and is going in
the right direction versus them just plateauing out.
Kind of the same with, you know, with Devries going after Sammy
Jackson, even though IU lost him to VCU, he's another kid that
was, you know, like on the rise. So I, I think it's interesting
that it seems at least looking a lot of the offers that Devries
has made so far, a good chunk of those kids are definitely ones
that were on the rise. They're not the kids necessarily
that started at let's say like four or five and have just kind
of been like fluctuating, you know, the top 20.
He seems to be grabbing kids that have been actually showing
some degree of improvement, which is again, something that's
pretty predictive of what kids do when they get in college.
And something I think he's going to have to do in this cycle
because as we saw in football, like you're, you're starting
this cycle relatively fresh. Your staff is fresh.
You've yet to play a game at Indiana or coach a game at
Indiana. You're not going to probably nab
a whole lot of recruits for that 26 class that are already
recognized as being among the top players, at least not
initially, unless you can get a cluster of players that really
excite. Those guys, now you're kind of
cooking with gas in terms of what you can do with who you can
sign and who might be interested in you.
But I would imagine as they continue to forge relationships
and forge a reputation among high schoolers who are currently
freshmen sophomores, you're going to see more higher level
offers of guys that you've seen on this developmental curve.
But maybe you're already like clearly showing even higher
levels of potential moving forward.
Bob, you, we, we were talking a little bit before about, you
know, Kenny Johnson and this DMV circuit.
I mean, this is an important thing to to bring back up.
As you know, I you really specifically went after a couple
of assistant coaches who had strong recruiting pedigrees, but
Kenny Johnson's a special case. And, and we've, we've benefited
from some of Kenny Johnson's expertise in the past, but
explain to the folks like what makes him in this particular
area such an important piece to have on Indiana's bench?
He he has relationships with everybody in, in that area and
is, has been a fixture in this, in this scene for might we say
25 years. Yeah, even longer if you go
back, how long it's been. Involved in if we're really
going back here, we're talking the late 20th century sorts of
things where we are sort sort of sort of building here.
And I I think a lot of that is, you know, I, I believe he was
Victoria Oladipo. You know, when you get to it,
right guide to it that we the IU lands Victoria Oladipo because
and very similar kind of similar to what we were talking about
where you have a kid that, you know, projects to be, you know,
he Victoria Oladipo was not exactly ranked really high, but
they saw unlimited ceiling with the kid.
And he showed that as a college player and also showed it as an
NBA player as well that, you know, that was a sort of sort of
sort of player. And when you have those types of
connections, when you have the sort of information that and,
and just sort of experience that Kenny Johnson brings to the
table, what you're able to figure out is, OK, we know that
this kid right now hasn't developed this, but we're
seeing, but we're seeing that he is developing it right, Right.
At this point. We've seen that, you know, I
know I trust this coach to make this evaluation.
I trust these individuals who have seen them to make these
evaluations. I've seen them myself.
I see this kid as a as a definite high level target for
us. That's the sort of thing you get
out of the Rolodex. It's not just going into 24/7 or
on three and ESPN and going OK, well, we've triangulated these
and these are the 15 kids based on the rankings and the
positioning and that we need. What you're able to do then is
you're able to kind of again, it's like getting in on a stock
right before they announce a, you know, getting on a
pharmaceutical software. They announced they had the the
the latest diabetes drug. You know, if you can, if you if
you know that you you're getting definite inside information and
that's what you're buying with an assistant coach.
When you're paying them that you're paying them, you're
paying for that experience and that sort of background that
you're not going to get just from maybe somebody that's kind.
Hi, I'm Skippy. I'm here.
I'm, I'm here in my first year. I'd like to know how, how do you
all play basketball in Baltimore?
That's different than how we do it in how we do it in Peoria,
IL. It's like, yeah, now you get a
guy that actually, you know, has that street cred and it's fine.
It you know, that's, that's the business.
And now that we're kind of going now that the the, the transfer
market, transfer portal market is settling and we're beginning
to start seeing, OK, how do you rebuild your feeders or how do
you go back into your feeders? Having guys that know that that
are able to do both and Kenny Johns is one of them, it's
pretty critical. Yeah, it helps also that the,
the, the programs that you're dealing with are some most elite
in the country. I mean, we're talking about, you
know, Coach Johnson obviously mentioning that takeover is #1
on the EYBL circuit. Don't forget that Coach Clark
has a long history with MO Con Mocon's about probably the 5th
best AU squad in the country right now.
So, so. And when you're a first year
coach and you're probably not going to be able to have the
advantage of like the longevity relationships with recruits
because you're going to be losing out to guys who've been
on them since they're a freshman.
So what you have to rely on is the fact that, OK, I've got
assistants that can basically kind of move us towards the
front of the line, not as I guarantee commits, but it
definitely helps a lot in terms of your like conversion rate on
those kind of kids. And what we heard, you know,
what we know about Darren Devries is he's very much hands
on at closing these. And that I think has been
critical as we've been, as we watch the whole portal unfold
and we're watching these recruitments.
We're, we're seeing, we're seeing a coordination and that
and, and activity from the whole, from the whole staff.
The assistant coach gets you in the door.
The head coach has to seal the deal.
And sometimes the assistant coach helps you do that too.
But for the most part, there's, there needs to be that
relationship with the head coach.
And I think he's showing how that that that he's, he's not
only interested in doing it, but he relishes doing it.
Yeah, not a huge amount else to cover with this particular
commit. I mean all the the stats in the
video. I would recommend checking out a
a lot of good tweets out there right now and and some message
board and website coverage regarding Prince Alexander
Moody. You know, I guess maybe we'll
wrap up with this gentleman in the rosters.
Looks like it's almost complete for this upcoming year with
wristage and we're still waiting to see what happens with that
last piece of the roster. This the first confirmed piece
for 26. How many more recruits would you
anticipate they're going to try to bring in in this cycle?
I mean, it's, it's, I know it's kind of tough to say because
obviously you're going to have portal options.
You're going to have guys that maybe initially you're thinking
you're only going to stick around for a year and, and maybe
we'll we'll stick around for a second year.
You'll have guys that'll transfer the roster's still a
little bit unsettled for 26. Do you do you have a sweet spot,
you know Cat and pending Mike that that you would like to see
IU aim for in terms of the class size that they would have for
26? Well, I, I think a lot of that's
probably, I mean, just functionally it's going to
depend upon like how many of the the kids they really want that
they can get right. And the the rest is just going
to be, you know, OK, well, let's say they, I know they're going
to be going after heavy for Anthony Thompson.
Not the Anthony Thompson of football that you remember, but
an actual an actual basketball recruit out of Ohio who's who's
a fantastic talent that I know I use like going after pray yard.
Latrell Almond also is a kid I know that seems to freeze is
kind of focusing on. So there's going to be a core of
probably like a certain, I'm, let's say like 5 or 7 kids at
least that they're really going to like try to get some leverage
with if they get three or four of those, I mean, that'd be
awesome. I don't, I don't anticipate
they're going to be getting that many high school kids, but never
know. So, but is there a sweet spot?
The problem is, is that right now in the in the data research
I do, it's too new to know exactly like what the ratios
are, right? We've only had like, you know, 2
full seasons or so of like having like a full cycles of
recruiting classes going through at the same time as having the,
the portal active. Just from my perspective, I
think you need to have at least like a few high school kids, not
necessarily like a full like, you know, 7-8 in the past.
You need to have at least a core of like, you know, 3 to 5.
They're kind of hanging around in the program that can actually
make a difference. So I think Moody's kind of one
of those kids. Sicily, I think it's also a
pretty good upper tier kid that's probably going to make
some some waves once he develops a little bit more.
If you could just get like two or three more kids like that,
it's kind of like cycle them through because they're going to
lose some of them and there's no way you're going to retain all
of them. There's the portal's going to
chew you up on some of that. So I think if you can keep like,
you know, 3 to 5 high school kids that are kind of active
with you at all times, that is sort of like, I would say maybe
the most functional version of a sweet spot I guess you have for
that. I'd say 4.
I agree with Mike and I would say that, you know, I feel I'm,
you know, looking at this, I feel like they would need
they're looking at some they they have several bigs that
they're looking at. Like I could see them going 5 if
they want to take two big projects, because I think it's
harder. It's much harder to find high
level quality ready to play big men in the portal than it is to
find wings and even points and leads.
I do think there may be a point where they're, you know, they
they're looking at a few few lead guards.
I think Jordan Smith was still on the list right now that that
they they have an offer out for that's going to be one of those,
you know, Royal Rumble type recruitments where you better
bring a chair and Miss Elizabeth if you're going to be
competitive and a but. And a checkbook now And a.
Ted Dibiase, we got to, we got to be the Ted Dibiase.
We got to be the $1,000,000 man in the ring with that one.
But but it's also I think that's something that you know, you're
looking at definitely getting. So you're going to need to
replace Conaway with another lead.
Wristic may come come into that position.
We're going to need some. You know, you're going to need
at least a two to three leads and the roster going into next
year or high quality. So I mean, four or five is
probably about the number I would look at and you can pick
up the rest of the portal. But if you're looking at kind of
where he where where Devries is with this, with about 30 or so
offers out, we also have to realize it's June 27th.
One week from tonight is July 4th.
So happy Independence Day. But now we're getting to the
point where the fall visits for these seniors haven't really
happened yet. Those are going to be coming.
You know, we're not really even chalk into what you would call
heavy high school recruiting season going into that time from
mid August to the Thanksgiving break where you start seeing
visits followed by commitments. But no, I mean, I agree with
Mike that I, I do, I think it's really hard to tell.
But I think at this point, if we come in, if we're, if we're
staying at Christmas and we have, you know, four or five
really good recruits that you know, and we're talking again,
couple, couple bigs, at least a lead and a couple and a couple
wings. I think we should feel pretty
good coming into this and then and getting Moody at this point
right now is a great start. It's a great start.
I can't emphasize that enough. And just to note, I think of the
four players in this class that had made officials, this was one
of them. And it was what a couple of days
ago you mentioned Latrell Allman made an official on I think June
17th and 18th, Suigo, the Luigi, Suigo the the Italian made an
official. So you still got a couple of
those active out there. And then you've got out this
whole list is Mike Radoff, who haven't really been set their
officials yet for fall. And you were expecting those to
kind of happen later on anyway as far as the decisions are
concerned. But good to get a fish into the
boat always. And especially a four-star,
especially someone that could be a table setter for maybe some of
his teammates on on Team Takeover and certainly re
establishing A recruiting relationship with the DMV.
Good for business regardless of where you're at in college
football, Kyle or Gork. Well, college football, but
definitely college basketball right now.
So certainly a good day for IU basketball.
Good day for IU football recruiting too.
We're going to try to talk about that this weekend.
But guys, any final thoughts before we wrap up?
Bob, you first. Just just just more to watch,
more to come. They're not.
They're not close to being done yet.
Mike. Yeah, same.
And yeah, yeah, the summer circuit's kind of heating up.
So like Peach Jam and things like that are just around the
corner, So you can probably hear a lot of names, not just for
this class, but, you know, for the next class.
So, you know, recruiting never ends.
That's right, we had almost 1500 people join us live on the
various outlets and we really appreciate it.
Thanks to all of you for taking the time on your Friday night.
