He’s OK!
You shoulda called her sugar-****, you’re slipping old man!
Williams signed with the school, Mensah had an NIL deal. I believe that is why Washington had recourse and Duke doesn't
100 percent agree however Fletcher needs to make his mind up asap after tonight . We don’t have time for bs either you’re staying or going to the nfl . The portal is like days after tonight right ?
I still don’t understand why the media and CFB fans across the country are up in arms or surprised when all these elite programs keep electing for portal QB’s. I don’t care how talented a high school QB is, it’s no substitute for experience. Let’s say, hypothetically, Miami could have gotten Bryce Underwood in last year’s class…are we really passing up on a guy like Beck for him? No way in ****. As you saw, Michigan took some lumps this year going with him as the starter. Meanwhile, as you’ve seen with Beck, supreme confidence, supreme poise, been through the wars at the highest level, etc. There’s just no substitution for that. I don’t care how talented a player is. And the thing is it’s almost impossible to hold onto them and develop them because if they don’t start year one they’re gone.
best possible option for us in 2026
I'll go on record saying I'm not as high on him as I was on ward or beck but ultimately we're subjected to the qb portal market every year and Mensah is the best option and for that the staff should get incredible credit

He’s right between Ward and Beck for me in terms of how high I am on him prior to spring ball.
yeah I respect that. if anyone had concerns about beck's injury I could see Mensah a step above beck
Mario Cristobal is the mother loving man...the national media swore up and down we were cooked at QB, never seen grown men be so happy about those prospects. MC pushed them in the face and they are butt hurt. BLAKE RUFFINO GET YOUR *** OVER HERE!!! LMAO.
We definitely need bodies but we didn’t just bring bodies we paid guys to come start. I don’t know if we bring in two guys that probably cost good money if they were high on jojo. Him not having a guaranteed spot to start might be enough for him to want a new scenery for his last two years
Yea he reminds me of Ward with regard to his ability to buy time and improvise, but not quite on the same level as Ward. Beck’s strengths were more about the intangibles(leadership, poise, mental toughness, etc.) The things I like about Mensah are his arm, TD/INT ratio, and his ability to improvise as I eluded to.
What did she originally say?
False. The no income tax doesn’t hold nearly as much sway as people try to make it.
Does this staff guarantee anyone a starting spot? I'd be surprised to hear they did. I know it's fairly obvious who will be the starter if a player is already starting (even at another school like Beck last year) and is producing, but I'd bet everyone else is told they'll have a chance to compete. For Trader, I think the pitch is fairly simple- we like you, you've come a long way, stay healthy and keep getting better every day and we know you're going to play a lot.
The North Carolina income tax rate is 3.99% for 2026. Let's assume that he has $0 in local deductions, that means if he was making $5M per year, he would pay ~$200K in local taxes in NC vs $0 in FL and he is going to pay the same Federal taxes in either state.
Is $200K a lot of money - Yes! How much does it factor into the big picture when we you are making $5M per year and only going to be there one year... particularly when there are other considerations like setting you up for the pros?
I think with the numbers we are talking and the short time frame, that the difference in state taxes between Miami and Duke becomes more of a nice to have perk/bonus vs having any significant weight in the decision - that is how I would look at it anyway.

Did Trumpycane miss something?
Fletcher said he’s coming back
Fletcher said he’s coming back
he said that Saturday also
Think you read it wrong..Im not saying we should have at all, im saying him not having a path to a guaranteed starting spot might be enough to push him out. Hopefully he stays but its gonna be year3, its either you become the starter or he’s probably gone
