Class of 2022 QB Maalik Murphy (CA) Portal to Oregon St

[JoeSU]

It sounds like Duke doesn't have enough NIL money to throw at Murphy after buying their way into the Gator Bowl.

Kind of has USC written all over it as it wreaks of desperation as well

Thought the exact same. He is from S. Cal too.

It sounds like Duke doesn't have enough NIL money to throw at Murphy after buying their way into the Gator Bowl.

As well as having a 10 million plus hoops roster.

Going to Duke from Texas is like going from a 5 star hotel to the Comfort Inn ... probably why Manning won't portal...jmo

They have Darian Mensah visiting today so they must still have some coin left.

Used to be you had to receive your last 60 credits from the same school in order to obtain a degree from that school. Have schools changed or waived that requirement for athletes? I’m not sure how you can transfer to a school as a rising senior and complete a degree in one year.

Id have a hard time believing that it would be waived for athletes. I could we wrong, but I believe each state has their own rules the they enforce.

Wow, transferring to Miami would be a real killer for Duke, but screw them. Better to keep talent in conference than let it go to the freaking SEC.

I don't understand the fixation with this kid. Like some of had said he was mediocre at best at Duke.

He's a good not great QB. Problem is, there aren't a lot of good QBs.

True, if he's a Hurricane we'll see him in the Orange Bowl vs our Cuse.

Amazing Duke was able to hit on one of the top portal QB’s in the country.

They have $$$. Not amazing to me. UNC is going to start hitting. They got a TON of donor money after getting BB.

$4M

Sounds like that’s what factored into the Saltar decision.

Duke football willing to pay $4M for a QB is an eye opener. I just don’t get why they didn’t pay Murphy?

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

$4M

This is getting so stupid on so many levels.

Let me transfer from a school that gave me a platform to thrive after already transferring…

It’s becoming mercenary football.

Outright free agency.

Sucks.

NCAA sports are doomed.

 

[GoSU96]

Take it up with HCFB

 

[PhatOrange]

Outright free agency.

Sucks.

NCAA sports are doomed.

with being able to leave anytime you want makes it worse. At least the pros can’t change teams annually. College is more like the regular workforce good or bad. And yeah it sucks… and relying on donors is not sustainable.

Huh. That's certainly a choice?

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Huh. That's certainly a choice?

Yeah seems odd. Saw earlier in the week that Kentucky thought they were getting him as well. Oregon St doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Who did Duke sign?

 

[AngryOtto]

Strange pick. Maybe Oregon st gave him all their nil money.

Darian mensah from Tulane really good quarterback with 3 more years of eligibility and pro potential.
