Duke QB Darian Mensah commits to Miami

[AllbouttheU]

Riddick loves the Canes. lol

 

[Strobe]

Was about to ask... anyone tracked his Heisman odds? Have they already skyrocketed from when this was speculated or do I have time to get in on it at a good value?

20-1 right now on Draftkings, dunno what it was prior

after this boss move by mario
over/under 15 flags called against us during ACC games

 

[Caned Peach]

have we discussed that barkate went to Harvard before duke...have we ever had a Harvard transfer balling out for this progrum?

Not that I know. However, we did flip a commit from them that's no longer on the roster.

Just for some nerdy af math as to why the buyout is NO CHANCE even close to $4 mil:

Mensah's NIL deal with Duke was 8 mil over 2 years (4 mil per year).

In getting out of that deal, if he has to pay $4 mil, his next NIL deal would have to be $8 mil over ONE year, just to cover what he would have gotten guaranteed already, let alone surpass it.

My god Mensah might have the best WR core in the entire country

Outside WR Cam Vaughn
Outside WR Cooper Barkate
Slot Malachi Toney
WR4 Vandrevius Jacobs

I say we take there kicker too . He’ll be a true freshman and hasn’t singed
. We need kickers out of highschool to see if they work out https://247sports.com/Player/gavin-strange-46160024/

Yup if you were worried bout losing Mensah how bout you go get Seaton and Wilson to firm up his faith in your commitment to winning. Oh and pay the man while you re at it

These Duke mother****ers think that because they hit gold one time (when they offered Mensah a 2-year deal at a time when he really wanted Miami and Miami really wanted Mateer), they should be able to ride that "buy-low-sell-high" gravy train indefinitely.

**** all that nonsense...

WR Room elite. Many teams wish they had guys that are on our 3 deep.

 

[Highline17]

Which grouping did this cost us?
A: >$3.75M
B: $2.75-$3.74M
C: $1.75M-$2.74M
D: <$1.74M

I'd guess B, but hopefully C

My guess is 1.5 - 2.5 range.

Not seeing him on Fanduel, Toney is +2700

 

[htownkidd]

This is about to be the best off season of all time, might as well give us our off season championship rings now.

 

[El Orange]

My guess is 1.5 - 2.5 range.

And I'd still take the under on that.

Josh Moore better than Barkate

 

[JD08]

At some point we do need to figure out our High school QB recruiting issues so we can have a multi year starter.

Unless I'm mistaken, Mensah has 2 years of eligibility.

Stealing an OL from the draft is the final piece.

It isn’t true until I get the @Cribby thumbs up approval!

Unanimously the 2nd best WR in the country in Toney and another top 10 guy in Barkate. Probably 1 and 2 in the ACC. You could make a case for Duce Robinson, Bryant Wesco, and TJ Moore being in the discussion. That's the top 5.

Plus, Vaughn, Jacobs, and Moore would start on every other team in the conference. Won't even pull in the freshman for this discussion as its a complete projection.

Passing game is going to be unreal and the running back room is just as good. 3 guys that would start on at least 12 teams in the conference.
