I think it was a little more nuanced; we had space for both before diving into the portal. There were red flags about his character (and his dad's, which is indicative of the times) prior to that, though. He, Moore and Rowe all kinda seemed out of place coming from old money/upper class suburbs. Not our type of recruit.
Moore hasn't seemed like a brat, to his credit, and was vetted by Berry through a personal connection of some sort, his dad may have played with Berry?
