Q: Hi, this is for Matt. Can you talk about the difference NIL money makes in recruitment and retention at UH?

Wake Up in The Den Jun 3, 26 (Hour 1) | NBA Finals nerves, Mountain West rankings & Campbell Football Look-in

Q: How do you balance the need for offensive talent with the defensive toughness you mentioned during the offseason?
