High-stakes recruiting approach would mean big payoff with big season

If Matt Rhule was a gambling man he’d be in Vegas with his previous six pay checks splitting green on the roulette wheel. Based on assumptions that the reported $4,000,000 annual salary is accurate, that’s a $2,000,000 bet for a payout of $34,000,000. 

In a lavishly abundant analogy, that’s essentially Rhule’s staff’s approach to recruiting the 2020 class.
