A significant blow has landed! Merely hours prior to the portal’s closure, Duke’s quarterback, Darian Mensah, has opted to join the transfer pool, with a strong probability of committing to Miami. This development is the focus of a brief, urgent DBR Bites episode #135, featuring Donald’s solitary commentary for several minutes.
Naturally, Donald offers a distinctive viewpoint, having graduated from both Duke and Miami Law. Consequently, we endeavor to navigate the sentiment surrounding this news to ascertain Duke’s path forward. The team’s situation is undoubtedly challenging, with their quarterback departing only weeks after confirming his commitment to remain with Duke. This event introduces numerous uncertainties regarding the team’s composition and their ability to retain athletes before the transfer portal’s submission deadline. Furthermore, Mensah’s agreement stipulated Duke’s sole retention of his Name, Image, and Likeness entitlements. Many additional inquiries remain, but we intend to return later this weekend to provide further clarity.
