Word around college football today is Miami is now the team to beat for former Duke QB Darian Mensah, who recently entered the transfer portal on the last day. This isn’t some long shot, the Hurricanes are getting serious looks and buzz as the favorite to land him according to 247Sports.

He broke out at Tulane in 2024, starting all 13 games and throwing 2,723 yards with 22 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions while completing 65.9% of his throws. He also ran for 132 yards and a score.

He then transferred to Manny Diaz’s Duke squad for the 2025 season, and he took off even more piling up nearly 4,000 yards passing with 34 touchdowns and 6 picks and a completion rate around 67%.

Mensah is back in the portal, and Miami fans are hyped about the possibility of adding a proven Power-5 QB.

You have two options for this thread:

1. Wanton speculation about when Mensah is going to be official.

2. Wanton speculation about the greatest subs and wrestlers.

The moment there is Mensah information this thread will fall in line. Until then, all posts are equally valid. You just don’t want to have to click 4 times to find out if news has broken.

Good news: 3-4 idiots will make new threads with the exact same tweet when he is official.

1. Wanton soup or
2. Fried wantons or
3. Crab Rangoon. Or
4. Wanton Song from Physical Grafitti??

I got #3 and #4. Extra spicy.

So when I said it would all be taken care of yesterday, it was all taken care of yesterday, these next morning press releases are nice but they are written ... yesterday.

If they would’ve slaughter them, they wouldn’t have been looking to settle before the first court date.
