I feel like this warrants its own top level thread, as it is pretty big news! Huge get and our QB room appears to be in great shape now with Brice, Gunnar, and Luca. Crossing my fingers we can land Stanford OL transfer Devery Hamilton as well!

This is great news! Quentin did admirably this year but was obviously limited, and you could argue there were at least a couple games we win with better QB play. No one will pick us, but this should put us in the picture for the Coastal again.

Plus, in addition to Trevor Lawrence, Clemson has the number one QB recruit in the nation coming in next year. DJ Uiagalelei from California. Actually, he enrolled early and is already there. Apparently, he played Joe Burrow on the scout team in preparation for the National championship game.

That’s not to take away from Chase Brice, who I am thrilled is coming to Duke!

The second best QB on the second best team in the country behind arguably the 2nd best QB in the country. Has played in 23 games and had 9 touchdowns. He is a pretty good player.

Just looking at recruiting rankings, he was a 3-star recruit rated at #397 in the country and #17 as a dual threat QB. He had offers from Clemson, MSU, Lville, Cal, BC, IL, Va Tech and some others but those seem the most noteworthy.

Brice is the backup QB who led Clemson's late-game comeback against Syracuse 2 years ago when Lawrence was injured.

At some point high-school rankings mean less than actual on-the-field production and that was bigtime production.

Agreed. I've always liked Dabo and generally pull for Clemson since he's been there (not against Duke, obviously although that doesn't happen very often). Definitely another point in his favor for me.

Quite a different time now than just 3-5 years ago when schools did everything they could to prevent intra-conference transfers (even including a requirement to sit out tw years instead of just one in some cases). Granted, we don't play Clemson while Brice will be here, but still. A different time indeed. I joked elsewhere that he's doing it to try and boost his conference SOS ;).

Luca is already enrolled and attending classes ;)

Brice (2020-2021) -> Gunnar (2022-2023)-> Luca (2024) seems like a really solid QB succession plan, assuming everyone sticks around. Of course, Luca seems to be highly regarded and could beat Gunnar out. There is also the possibility that Holmberg could be eligible for a hardship waiver and get a 6th year, in which case I suppose he and Luca would be battling it out for the starting job all the years (2022-2024), plus any other QB prospects we bring in. Has there been any word from the program about a 6th year for Gunnar, or do they not explore that until later when he's entered his "final" year in 2023?

d'oh! I guess 2020 snuck up on me...gotta think Gunnar can get another year at some point...given our paucity of competent QBs this year, I'm not going to fret about potentially having three viable ones.

I've been lucky, too. I imagine Youtube TV was glad to pick up the ACCN, maybe at bargain basement prices. So that option is there for almost all of us. Here's hoping that everybody can get the games soon. I would be really bummed out if I couldn't watch this very interesting and entertaining team play this year.

With 2,000 or so guys entering the portal, it doesn't seem very realistic that any program can ignore the chance to receive a few players that way. I suppose we'd take a Brittain Brown-Chase Brice trade, considering our need for a proven QB.

I'll be honest. After this past season, it's going to take a lot more than these two transfers for me to start seeing the sun. Dotting the lineup with just a few studs only gets you so far and it's not a given that either of these two transfers will prove to be a stud.

I believe the MMS program at Fuqua works pretty well for grad-level athletes who are academically sound. It's a one-year business/management fundamentals program that was designed specifically for people right out of college (unlike MBA programs, which generally expect enrollees to have a couple of years of business experience) who want to increase their employability and doesn't require you to start with advanced-level course work in the field.

That's interesting....I agreed the year was a downer, not just for this past season, but it certainly seemed like the Cut era had lost all momentum....coach getting older, crowds getting smaller, recruiting classes ranking lower....and the cheats with momentum seemingly......so you and I were of like mind.

That said - I give Cut and staff credit....getting Brice is a good momentum play, as the kid is very popular and now he's helping recruit. The OL might've been in response to him signing. This is actually a couple green shoots IMO.

So here's the deal: The Devils Den does a very very good job following Duke Football on their Premium board, which costs something like ten bucks a month...it's very much worth it for those who are, for some odd reason (like me) hooked on Duke football.

The Clemson fans I've talked with are happy for Chase Brice. Yes, we lose our backup QB but with Trevor starting and the #1 QB prospect coming in next year to replace him, everyone understands Chase transferring out. But it's not just that people are OK with him transferring, the Tiger fans I've talked with about it are happy that he landed at Duke because it's now a solid program and because Coach Cut's success with QB's. Tiger fans want to see Chase Brice flourish, he's earned it.

Chase got a lot of playing time last year. It wasn't unusual for Chase to play the second half of the third quarter and the full fourth quarter last year.

He was injured 4 games into last season and redshirted as a result. I believe he will have to apply for a waiver to get a second year but the NCAA typically grants it in cases like this where the missed year was due to injury.

Dumb question -- if he redshirted, doesn't it mean the year doesn't count against his eligibility anyway? Or was it his second redshirt?

(I think I probably just answered my own question but do not know)

He redshirted as a freshman -- a voluntary redshirt, not injury related -- as many college football players do. Then, last year, he got injured and only played in 4 games, making him eligible for a medical redshirt. However, NCAA rules say you have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. So, I believe he will have to formally apply to the NCAA for a waiver to get a 6th year and have that medical redshirt granted. I may be wrong, but this application usually happens once you have used up the 5 years, so he would not do it until the end of next season. I could be wrong about that. I do know that the NCAA almost always grants the extra year in the case of folks who lost time due to injury. It would be a slam dunk if he had lost 2 years due to medical stuff, but the first season he missed was voluntary while he got stronger and more ready for NCAA competition. Still, I suspect that if he wants it, the NCAA will grant it.

Hamilton, how much eligibility does he have left, just 1 year or does he have 2 also like Brice?

Two years

In the announcement posted on GoDuke.com, Devery has one year of eligibility remaining. That will be the 2020 season.

There are conflicting reports on that, other places indicate they will try to get a 6th year.

So here's the deal: The Devils Den does a very very good job following Duke Football on their Premium board, which costs something like ten bucks a month...it's very much worth it for those who are, for some odd reason (like me) hooked on Duke football. They have had a bunch of info about the offensive coordinator position, but I respect their content and won't post it here...I know there are others here who also pay for their info...I strongly endorse it.

Don't take this as me harping on you, but until anything is out in the news, it is by definition "rumor mongering". Which of course is frowned upon. Devil's Den may be a great source of legit info, but for those like me that aren't paying for it (and won't be for one reason or another), it only has a Manalishi feel. (Meaning that something is built up with great expectations followed by squat.)

If that works out for Devery, it will be a wonderful bonus!

Devery can still apply for his medical hardship year (because of last year) if he wants to. lets hope he enjoys this year at Duke and wants to go thru a 6th year.

no offense, but that's a weak definition of rumor mongering. Feel free to ignore my posts, you won't be the only one.

Yeah, I love me some CB&B but I have to disagree here. Unless sharing information from a paywalled article on the NYT or The Atlantic is also​ rumor mongering.

Well, their standards of verification aren't what they used to be ...
