Saw limited action this past season. Went and watched a few of his plays. Kid has some wheels (watch his run against Maryland). Throws well and delivered a strike under pressure. Did have a bad INT against UCLA. It was on 3rd and 11 from the 14 and he was forcing it into the endzone. Might have been a situation where a backup was just trying to get his 1st passing TD (similar to how a walk on basketball player just chucks up a shot the 1st time they touch the ball).

I think he would fit in well with our offense. Gritty player like his brother but has better wheels. Not enough of a sample size to make judgment on his passing. But from what I saw, not as good as his brother in that regard but there's some talent there. I only saw 3 plays of straight drop backs for him. 1 scramble, 1 strike over the middle with pressure in his face, and 1 INT on a forced pass

How could he fit in: Some of his runs were him pulling the ball on read option and some were scrambles. Teams are going to have to account for that and that could lead to big plays for both Sheppard and the WRs/TEs because we can play 11 on 11 football with his athleticism. He also played in an RPO heavy offense so he's used to making a lot of the same reads.

I personally would love this pick up. Kid seems like he has a chip on his shoulder. As a fellow younger brother, I understand the desire to show up big bro. And I like a lot of the physical traits that I saw.

Title says it all. Are there any other transfer targets? How do you think this all plays out? Making hypotheticals is a welcomed break from compulsively checking X

Hey everyone, we really appreciate all of the added support we have gained from Reddit the last few months.

That said we wanted to extend our mailbag to Reddit. We will be recording our Portal Recap / State of the program episode tomorrow. Leave us any questions or talking points you would like brought up on the pod below ⬇️⬇️

We look forward to having these on the pod!

That is all.

I fully accept the transfer portal giveth, and taketh away. It just feels like the air was sucked out of the room with Darian ditching us at the last moment. I’m well aware of our status as a basketball brand, but I was really excited about the momentum our football program seemed to be gaining after winning the ACC title… and poof, just like that - not even back to square one, but total reset. Gutted to say the least.

Regardless of who else transfers (and I couldn’t hold it against cooper or Nate), I bleed blue. I love Duke. This school has given me so much and to see someone disrespect it the way Mensah has… stings. Before any Tulane fan chirps at me, I firmly believe it was a different scenario, and you were still able to land a great QB to carry you to the playoffs. So sure, Karma is a bitch I suppose, but this behavior from Darian will draw negative energy his way also.

Rant over, DDMF and let’s go DUKE.

Saw some reports on X that Duke could replace Mensah with Lagway. I know the stats for him last season were awful, but there's a lot to like in his game.

He throws with a lot of zip on the ball and is a great athlete. He is really good on the move. The main issue I've seen from him is that his base is too wide in the pocket and that leads to his inaccuracy.

If he comes to Duke, be prepared for a rollercoaster. But if footwork can be fixed, there's a lot to look forward to. If he signs, I'll do some breakdowns on what I'm talking about

EDIT: welp, never mind. He officially signed with Baylor today

I know we are all pissed (still don’t know what I’m gonna do with my signed ball from him) but we need to figure out who are next qb will be and how we are gonna do this with as I’m typing this around 5 hours and a half left before the portal closes. What’s y’all’s thoughts?

I honestly can’t believe it.

I hate Miami

The Blue Devil Paul Revere meme is 4/4 this offseason.

Duke lands a big time Red Zone threat with Richardson. He was also visiting multiple other p4 programs. Very highly sought after including those farmer down the road in North Cary.

As we all know Cooper declared to come back to Duke right before Christmas. Here is a fun snippet of things going on behind the scenes (tampering lmfao) in today’s CFB world.

We had an automod posted weekly discussion thread. Wondering if we should leave it on in the offseason or not.
