It’s about that time where coaches 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 press kids to commit. Real quick:
1. Yes, all of our offers are committable
2. Doing so will secure your spot
3. No, you don’t need to rush a decision
The championship pedigree & $90k starting salary at MINES aren’t going anywhere
MINES has a 20-year ROI of 𝟭.𝟭𝟲 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 and a career return of 𝟮.𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻!

How many schools can say that?
