people are overestimating HOW heavy a portal team Cig had IU as because when you actually think about it a majority of the portal guys they added were guys from JMU that he recruited out of HS in first place.

Like it’s not REALLY the same as saying he built a team from the portal when he just took all the guys he recruited out of HS with him from one program to another…

Just sayin

Deion got to Colorado fro JSU and brought how many with him? 3?
Deion and Cig are not the same lol in any comparison.
 
I might be the biggest Corch Prime hater in history. And his loudmouth overrated son.

But this right here can't be denied.
It sure can and I’m not a Cig fan. He grabbed his own guys and wanted older disciplined players. Maybe they both used the portal a lot but one went with flash and the other quietly built up and we didn’t even notice until half way through this season. We laughed at Indiana last year saying they would get smacked when they played a real team and they did. When they beat OSU I took them seriously but still thought we would beat them and we should have.
 
I am still not sure this mess is worth it. We could have snapped up Raiola within the window for like $2ish million and had a good shot at 9 wins next year. Now we are universally hated, and likely going to be paying a ton for a slight upgrade at QB.
The thing is the “mess” is his contract with his school. It’s zero involvement from us. I agree we should be more proactive in attacking the portal early. Indiana had 10 commits day it opened. But as far as mensah, we are just continuing our program as normal until he figures out his issues with Duke. Once his agent and him negotiate a buyout price, we can evaluate if we want to pay it or not.
But if he comes available, he’d be a great fit

We made a national title with a guy who couldn't practice in spring. Appears kids who went to UM from 06 to 10 got a rough education. This is coming from an 06 grad.

If you think we are “universally hated” for getting a good qb who went into the portal, then you are buying into the propoganda. It’s his own decision to enter the portal, and his own decision to leave Duke.
He clearly decided he wants to leave, and of course we are going to be interested. Every high quality QB in the nation knew we had big money to spend after Simpson revealed our offer to him.
So they all heard that, and it sounds like mensah was intrigued, and took it upon himself to ditch Duke
 
Hold the **** up. Did this guy just claim if Mensah is drafted, Duke could retain his NIL rights? So his NFL team and himself would just have to deal with it?

This is mental illness.

Grok told him so

Would pay money to see that court battle. The NFL is the second biggest institution in this country only behind the federal government. They would have Duke’s football program cancelled and the stadium torn down and the earth salted in a week.

Son y’all have no idea what the PTSD of bad football is. Class of 73, thank god for the Ratt and good cheap weed. And the women. 🙌🏽
 
Couldn’t Mensah transfer without nil, and we just pay a parent, is that illegal?

Why do that when we can just pay him lump sum 1/1/27
Or funnel it all through Adidas or another 3rd party not attached to the university....
 
Mensah is at the same level or an upgrade over Beck imo.

I don't understand why he can't learn to run a bit though. Needs some mobility.

With Mensah and Wilson, Miami is a strong favorite to return to the playoffs.

No Mensah, 8 win team.

He can run. I have no idea why never did at Duke. Go to the 2:34 mark, the 8:20 mark and the 9:22 mark.

Don't watch the 8:45 mark unless you want to see Bauman catch a TD pass and do a dance.
