Was about to say the same thing.Sorry to hear that. Odd timing.
That is the most poorly written excuse for AI that I have read in a while. Not that it matters, but just wanted to mention it.
he was expected to be gone...didn't play much at Stanford or Duke....Disappointing but presumably not actually gone yet.

Right? I think it's a fairly polite loss but what do I know...Sorry to hear that. Odd timing.

He's playing for Duke?I have a question about our incoming qb. I thought he was supposed to be a big deal. I understand we are paying him a fortune, like he was a VERY big deal. So why am I not seeing him mentioned in either a) lists of next years potential top ACC quarterbacks or b) lists of exciting new transfers coming in. I’ve read maybe a half dozen articles on these topics and haven’t seen him mentioned once. What gives?
And coming from Tulane. Speaking of football, saw about 5 members of the football team at Southpoint last saturday. Well I'm assuming they're Duke football players given they were wearing Duke football gear, all college guys and they were huge.He's playing for Duke?
As of last Thursday the time hadn’t been set , although Coach Diaz, speaking at the Blue Devil Club luncheon, speculated that it would be at noon. Your post confirms the time!If it hasn't been mentioned, the Spring Game is at noon on Saturday, April 19th.

Darian Mensah who we are reportedly paying $8 mil for 2 years (4/yr). I haven’t been following closely but I’m surprised I hear nothing about him, supposedly with the biggest NIL contract in cfb.He's playing for Duke?
I know who he is. My reply was meaning that "He's playing for Duke; don't expect him to be on many radars", other than the occasional story about how much $ he's getting.Darian Mensah who we are reportedly paying $8 mil for 2 years (4/yr).

Got it - figured you would be in the know. An ESPN article in Dec called him the best player in the portal. But a few days ago I see an article about the top 10 portal players coming to ACC, including 2 or 3 qbs, and he isn’t even mentioned. Has his stock dropped?I know who he is.

The top 10 ACC transfers list I saw has Carson Beck #1 and the California qb Sagapolutele ranked #4. No other qb made top 10 list, which included several edge rushers.Darian Mensah is up there, but he's reportedly not even the highest paid ACC quarterback.

Carson Beck Has Scored Nearly $10M in NIL Deals in 12 Months
The Georgia quarterback transferring to Miami has hit close to $10 million in NIL deals from his brand partners and Miami combined.frontofficesports.com
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, who led the Bulldogs to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals where the team lost to Notre Dame, announced Friday he has committed to Miami, just one day after he entered the transfer portal.
Now his agents at ESM tell Front Office Sports Beck has secured close to $10 million in combined NIL (name, image, and likeness) deals in the past 12 months from a combination of his brand deals and money from the Miami NIL collective Canes Connection...
A different source close to Beck says that the $4 million figure widely reported Friday as coming from the Canes Connection is inaccurate and that the price tag is higher. Canes Connection declined to comment...
If Beck is getting more than $4 million from the Canes Connection, it would make him the highest-paid player in college football. Darian Mensah is reportedly getting $8 million over two years to transfer to Duke from Tulane, and John Mateer is reportedly getting a similar deal to transfer from Washington State to Oklahoma.
How many SagSacks are gonna be racked up this season?The top 10 ACC transfers list I saw has Carson Beck #1 and the California qb Sagapolutele ranked #4.
With all those new edge players, I suspect quite a few!How many SagSacks are gonna be racked up this season?
