It isn't really just hearsay. Didn't the first May class at AA only have 21 in it? That is considerably smaller than the rest of the classes this year. This matches what they've done the last few summers.
And don't forget that the 50%/metered to 25 does not apply until the 40th 175 is on the property. For now it is only 35%, with no metering. It will be definitely be under 25 for the next few months.
RW was obviously lying when he said 330+ in January, just like he was lying when he said 300+ for 2016 the January before. The company apologists on here jumped all over anyone who claimed the 330+ number was a joke, but obviously it was.
