The words "what else is to be inferred" seems to clearly suggest that you felt your inference was the only reasonable inference. That's what I inferred from your quote, hence my use of the word "only."
Now, I may be biased here, but it would seem that my inference from your quote makes MUCH more sense than your inference from my quotes:
- There are LOTS of reasonable scenarios in which "one guy fills a bigger need" does not imply "we should go after that guy and not go after the other guy." Especially, since, as we both have stated, we have scholarships available for BOTH. And also especially since I have also stated in multiple places that I want to get BOTH.
- There appears to be only one reasonable way to take your quote, and that is that you don't see another alternative way to read my post and are asking me to provide another alternative.
The rest of your post is irrelevant, because I don't think we actually disagree on most of the hypothetical scenarios.
But to be clear, if we had only one scholarship to offer, we had an equal chance to get both, we had the exact same team needs as we currently do, and both were to decide at the same time, then yes: I'd rather have Randle because he fills a bigger need. But the hypothetical "one scholarship available" situation is almost certainly not going to play out, and it's basically the only scenario in which we'd be in a "go after one guy and not the other" situation. So we get to my point that jumping to your inference makes little sense.
