Love it! Even though he's already a superstar recruiter, Mike Mickens can now proudly ask prospective Safety commits, "do you want to be the next $100M safety in the NFL? Come to Notre Dame!"

(And now, he can include Xavier Watts as a top ND NFL Safety, at least so far.)

I got into it with some Oklahoma fan almost 3 years ago about the Peyton Bowen flip, my point was that Oklahoma doesn't have any safeties of note in the NFL, not like ND. It wasn't a smart decision. After Peyton had 6 assisted tackles and 2 solos against Michigan the guy responded again...mind you, this is almost 3 years after our initial discussion. I'm like....seriously? Kyle Hamilton just became the highest paid Safety in the NFL, Harrison Smith is still going at 15 years after a HoF career, and Xavier Watts was just drafted and is starting for the Falcons. That's just a few. Oklahoma? They have just one Safety in the NFL currently and it's Billy Bowman Jr who technically isn't a starter in Atlanta's 3-4 at Nickel.

I looked Hamiltons box score up which is good then saw Miles Garrett has had 11 sacks in his last 3 games.

Was it known that Gilman talked Hamilton out of transferring his freshman year? Just saw this at the bottom of this article on Gilman's new contract/switch to the Chiefs:

[EDIT] Saw that @dublinirish posted about it in November.

Hated AFC Rival Steals Ravens Starter in $24.75 Million Late-Night Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs snagged Baltimore Ravens safety Alohi Gilman away with a 3-year, $24.75 million, late-night free-agent contract.

Briefly Re-Teamed With College Teammate​

Gilman was college teammates with All-Pro Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton at Notre Dame.

Were it not for Gilman, Hamilton’s path to the Ravens may have never happened in the first place. Hamilton told Irish Illustrated’s Drew Mentock he was ready to transfer back home to the University of Georgia before his freshman season even started.

It was Gilman, then a senior, who talked Hamilton into staying at Notre Dame, where he was a 3-time All-American in 3 seasons and was selected by the Ravens in the first round (No. 14 overall) of the 2022 NFL draft.

“I was close to transferring,” Hamilton told Mentock. “I wanted to go home during fall camp, but (Gilman) talked me off the ledge.”

Hamilton signed a 4-year, $100 million contract extension with the Ravens before the season and is a 3-time NFL All-Pro in his first 4 seasons.
