Yes, they’re happy to be Horned Frogs but don’t think for a second that any of them wouldn’t have signed if offered the right amount.

Im OK with that narrative for future years, though.

And best line, from Schloss:

"There’s plenty of evidence that coming through our program is the right thing to do.”
