Echoing everyone else with a rousing WHEW!
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
What happens when someone goes into the transfer portal and then re-emerges? Did time somehow freeze for them? Are they unnaturally aged due to traveling at the speed of light? I want answers!
More importantly, though, really glad to hear this. Look forward to him being a force next year!
This is my birthday present. Awesome!

Young had said he didn’t get into grad school at Duke so he was transferring. Statement might no longer be operable but we’ll see.

Great news. I think it's important for us to have at least one experienced veteran wide receiver as a lot of young ones will be called upon to take on big roles, especially with a relatively inexperienced quarterback taking over. Now, hopefully he stays healthy for the season.
Well, all I know is that a week ago we were WR thin and were presumably keeping our eyes open for an 18 year old prospect, and then the portal
opened up to deliver a 22 year old who knows the coaches, system, plays, and teammates and has had a 100 yard game against D1 competition.
Important question,OPK...by failing to go all the way through, I think Young found himself much like the chaps in Star Trek who were moving via the Transporter when there was a power surge/interruption/Klingon attack/whatever...precarious.
Regarding grad school, I never bought the notion they couldn't find something for Young at Duke...gotta be some graduate work that can be done short of getting into Fuqua or something...(I think that could be pretty enjoyable, having a degree in hand and you get to putter about in grad school, maybe find something very interesting)
