True. I had Tonje specifically in mind with that statement and Mincey would likely slot in as his replacement.
I recall an interview with Gard where he was asked about his portal strategy and he answered something to the effect of, obviously they would take anyone that is the right fit for the program but they were particularly focused on more experienced players with 1 or 2 years of eligibility left. Of course, that may change from year to year as well.
