CB Duce Chestnut transferring to LSU

[Entropic]

I haven't kept up on the transfer rules. Is he eligible to play immediately because a coach left or can anyone leave for any reason at anytime and play immediately? That just seems like a terrible idea for undergrad transfers.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Why do you think rutgers have a chance?

Schiano won’t take him because he said he was too slow in high school.

 

[cali315phan]

Its there when/if justifiable.

Duce isnt a million dollar nil player. At least imo

Not even close. He's also not going to be drafted, IMO. He had a great Freshman year, but I don't think he played well this year. He got beat a lot. He's not exceptionally big or fast, but he plays his a$$ off.

Tough to swallow. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him in Nebraska.

Money alluded to it, but we have to continue to build up our NIL fund, or this type of occurrence will keep happening. We’ve made strides, but have to keep it building.

Good thing we have some really good leads on portal people.

I don't blame kids for taking opportunities when the NFL is not guaranteed. Thank Deuce for two good years. Best of luck.

I know nothing so I hope they don’t. In fact, it will make this slightly less painful (unless it’s ND or Pedo State). Just picking on them because they are a garbage program.

Will we have any DBs for the bowl game? This was a joke but now it is a real concern?

NIL and instant transfers are killing college sports.

Hating on a kid from friggin Camden, NJ for chasing life changing money is silly. Most of us would do the same thing and would have done it 12 months ago.

Anyone who has step foot there can’t blame a kid for chasing $$ when he has an opportunity to. Money talks. Period.

Best of luck to him, but life goes on. And it will.

My response to anyone who leaves. Good luck and good riddance

Mad times we live in, mad.

 

[Ragman2000]

I hate the portal. Hate it.

The saddest part for me - is that you end up losing interest in the emotional attachment to players. As a kid, I idolized these guys. Now, coming and going in a year or two’s time, you don’t even have the time to develop the attachment.

That was some of the most fun of football for me, rooting for the players that you loved. I feel like the next generation won’t get to experience that part of it.

 

[Entropic]

If they are paid adults attending school do we really have pretend they are above criticism for making choices we don't like? The whole student athlete thing is a farce. You could at least pretend when it was just hundreds of thousands in tuition and stipends and gear but just straight cash and it's a pro sport now for some of these kids.

Look on the bright side, maybe Minnesota will run less now. Lol.

I laugh because I hurt.

 

[rrlbees]

Just goes to show how special of kids Mikel Jones, Tucker and Garrett Williams. All 3 could have taken some good NIL deals elsewhere and transferred but they didn’t.

Nothing against Duce and I appreciate what he did for us here at Cuse. But just goes to show those three I mentioned first don’t come around often. Really suck for Duce cause he legitimately could have been one of the great cornerbacks to play here and would have left a lasting legacy, continued the pipeline of Cuse secondary players in the NFL and continued playing for the swag daddy but he took the money. Nothing wrong with that, just some peoples priorities are different than others for a multitude of reasons.

They got NIL here last year too. Don’t know the numbers but about 12 players did.

NIL and instant transfers are killing college sports.

Throw in realignment that breaks decades-old rivalries and makes no geographic sense for good measure.

 

[rocfan44]

Go look at his twitter under the reaction when White left. You will see all the Huskers clamoring for him to come too.

 

[JeffCuse]

I think the portal may ultimately pull me away from this sport as a fan

 

[RF2044]

Will we have any DBs for the bowl game? This was a joke but now it is a real concern?

Sure is -- we lost 2 of the top 3 CBs we had available for the game, on paper.

Wonder if a guy like Simmons slides in opposite Johnson as a starting CB? Think that probably makes the most sense.

Sucks to see Duce leave. Fing portal has ruined college sports.

 

[Trueblue25]

Makes you appreciate guys like Marlowe, Caleb, Jahad, Stephon, etc more

I know for damn sure the next time Marlowe has an ice cream night at the ice cream stand downtown for his nil deal im going and eating til I spew

 

[Dick_in_MI]

For the guys who bought his tee shirts, are they now collectable or merely useful for wiping slush from their headlights.

College sports is getting more and more like a minor league baseball team where the names change frequently.

 

[PAcuse]

Thanks for your time at Cuse, you where fun to root for.
Best of luck getting to the NFL.

Sometimes being a college football fan feels like being in a relationship where you’re more into the person than they are to you.
