Duke QB Darian Mensah commits to Miami

[ajamaican]

I need a time for these two commitments — I have to plan the rest of my day lol.

They should do a joint “taking my talents to south Beach” caliber announcement.

Best part is the rest of the country is ******* freezing and we have perfect weather down here. Lock it in boys

He gives me very strong, Amendola, Edelman, Kupp, Thielen, Bowers, Renfrow, Welker vibes for some reason. Seems like a real gym rat, lunch pail type guy.

COACH ON THE FIELD !

This is what it looks like when universities put football first !

Feels great

I want to thank the locker room cancer Sam Leavitt

And the SEC cuck Ty Simpson for telling the world how rich we are. We wouldn’t be here without them

Simpson unwittingly hooked us up! No tampering needed when he blabbed about $6.5M!

What happened to your Cooper Barkate thread? It either got nuked or merged, but its gone and there's no thread for him right now while he's on campus. I'd rather not create a new pre-commit thread that has a life span of just a few hours.

I noticed this too

It was accidentally merged into one of the many Mensah threads by a Maude. Unfortunately there’s no unmerge method so a new thread would be needed.

UVA in 2008, final game at OB.

UNC with that TE than had a thousand catches against us.

Eric Ebron (UNC) and Jonathan Stoppard (Va).

Both guys should be sending a portion of their NFL proceeds to CanesConnection. If it wasn’t for their classic ravaging of Miami’s cinnamon ring, they’d never get drafted as high as they did.

“You’re Alabama, or you’re not.” What a chode Simpson is

Them boys just came from an ice storm and 10 degree weather in NC

Give me a productive dual in the portal than Mensah and Barkate? This is an absolute coup.

That’s an understatement. Incredible GET by the U.

I have been wondering for a bit if that "leak" was less accidental than it seems. It led to an immediate reachout by Mensah's peeps.

 

[Fatboycane]

How many lawyers do they have on that message board

They must all be unemployed if they have time to be on there all day

 

[Highline17]

@DMoney Will we ever know how much Darian paid out in settlement for Duke to drop the case, that we are likely reimbursing? If not, is there a likely guess as a lawyer, would it be more than the 4 million that Duke already paid out to Mensah?

Amazing. Duke is a better school than any school I have a degree from yet this is what they leave there unable to grasp…That they can’t stop a student from enrolling at another college, that they can’t force someone to work for them, that an NIL contract is not a contract to play football???

Yup.

They think a cleverly-drafted contract clause can completely eliminate an NCAA athlete's right to transfer pursuant to NCAA rules.

The answer is incredibly simple and has been there all along. If these Dukies and their lawyers EVER want a multi-year commitment from a student-athlete, then an employer-employee relationship is needed, and the contract needs to be an EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.

Until then, all this cutesy "let me put crazy 'employment-type' limitations on an NIL deal" is just not going to have the desired outcome.

How do you know we didn’t tell him to disclose the offer?

Don't forget to thank Sorsby's volleyball-playing girlfriend...
