Logically it seems Dickens is destined for the loser of the Duke -Miami lawsuit, right?

Is he enrolled in like an online class or anything at both schools?

I don't think he's good enough

I don't think he's good enough

As a QB#2, why not? Is Ole Miss also an option if Trinidad loses lawsuits? Tennessee. Even Vandy might need a QB. And then there are spring ball injuries. He is actually in a good place in some ways.

Both teams will need a QB 1 not a 2.

He's also listed at 5-11 which mean he's probably 5-10. He's not a starter at any of those programs. If he was he'd be signed already.

He had a chance to sign here as a backup, and now he might not get a backup at a p4 school.

I imagine we would welcome him to our QB room if things starting trending against him. Right?

We already have 6 QB's rostered for 2026 assuming Filardi is still playing football. I don't see how bringing him in makes sense numbers wise, especially if it requires us to pay any NIL. He is intriguing though.

What the Dickens is going on here...

I've seen footage of Filardi working out with football players recently so assume he still is.

And Duke says, come on down...or at least they should

Vandy? Probably not. Unless he wants to be QB3 or 4

Based on 2-4-7 ratings, the only QBs ahead of him still available(not counting Mensah who obviously is Miami bound) are Parker Navarro who is waiting to see if he can get an extra year, and Cardell Williams from Sac State

I heard he has acedemic and possible personality issues that are putting a lot of coaches off, but that's also just Twitter chatter, so it might be BS.
