Very interesting job switch. Wonder where Monteverde goes from here. Personally, the prospects out of IMG haven’t impressed me much

Word is Dan Gilbert and Spire threw a 7 figure package at Kevin Boyle. A few mil for their NIL budget and almost a mil in salary to coach. Crazy numbers!

Dang. I remember watching him years ago with St. Patricks when they came down for the city of palms tournament. I got to play against Shaheen Holloway

Don’t worry I’m sure we can match any amount SMU would give him

I don't think it is about money with every recruit and commit. In y, I don't think Kelvin Sampson and Houston has a huge NIL budget.
It's still about finding the right players who play hard, for your system and want to go to your school.
Houston only signed 1 kid from the transfer portal while the rest of the roster is built from high school recruiting.
That is a sustainable model I want to see duplicated at Miami.



That success wasn't built because of NIL.
