And I don't disagree that the pro scouting hasn't been great, though may be improving. But the Brouwer, Neal, Hamonic acquisitions all point to a gap.
And I'd love to know how analytics were considered in those decisions and if they supported the decisions or challenged the decisions, and were ignored.
