With Notre Dame coming to the Rock on Labor Day Weekend, the Hurricanes know they need to beef up their front. The staff wasted no time in arranging a visit for former five-star recruit and Kentucky transfer DT Keeshawn Silver.

The 6-foot-4, 336-pound behemoth is scheduled to visit Miami tomorrow, December 11th. He's visiting the Florida Gators today, and he has plans to visit USC on Thursday. He will conclude his visits with a stop at Michigan on Friday and Saturday.

Keeshawn Silver originally signed with the North Carolina Tar Heels in the 2021 recruiting class. He was rated as the No. 31 player overall and the No. 6 defensive lineman in the nation. Silver also played basketball and averaged 7 points and 6 rebounds per game. He then transferred from North Carolina to Kentucky.

During the past season with the Kentucky Wildcats, Silver recorded a total of 26 tackles and one sack. His standout performance occurred in week nine when the Wildcats faced the Auburn Tigers. In that game, Silver registered four tackles and a sack. He played 313 snaps overall this season. He earned a a sterling 80.9 run grade and a pass-rush grade of 73.6.

well tech the school gives the money to the coach to then pay the buy out. Source: I have UMs tax returns from 2022

I understand, that is inherent in my answer.

What I'm saying is that it depends on what the COACH wants to do. If Chip Kelly wants to leave UCLA, he may or may not get Taint to compensate him for his buyout. Similarly, if the school says it is going to reduce salary or limit the assistants who can be hired, no "buyout clause" will be followed through upon.

Does anyone honestly believe that Prison Mike Norvell "voluntarily" gave $4.5 million of his salary to the F$U Collective?

FYI in the same article gaby said he had LSU ahead of Miami for Poyser

Could hours later poyser signs with Miami

Maybe gaby is playing possum? Maybe he lost his sources?

First, schools don't pay buyouts. Coaches pay buyouts.

Second, how much a new school wants to pay a new coach is up to them.

Nice try, though.

I just think the most likely scenario to getting Schiano involves paying an extra $1M at signing. And it likely amortized to being $333k/yr more for Schiano than an alternative DC. .... Not that crazy lol.

nah that wasn't voluntarily. it was an obvious pay cut but something I think every program should do. im down for Marios salary to drop to 5 mill and the rest goes to NIL

Ultimately, I'm not sure who we get at DC. The three names I've heard would all (seemingly) involve some additional aspect of non-UM-salary-based compensation.

I'm just saying let's not act like "getting out of a prior contract" is a dealbreaker.

Yes, but for UM, it's all coming out of the Mas brothers' pockets one way or another...
