We do not have to like the QB plan Josh and crew have developed, but they've worked their asses off making sure we are all clear what that plan is. VQ has pumped that narrative at every turn. Danny made a speech on cheating moments before the Miami Mensah deal leaks.

It's unlikely to all be coincidence.

Until @KingVFL or @Stoerner Fumbles comes out and says April fools on the FCS and GMac messaging - we better come to terms with them meaning it.

We should focus our efforts now on them at least picking Taron Tyger Dickson as that plan C
😆 🤣 😂 😹 👀

The way I’ve heard it explained is that it’s not $10 million cash. It’s like $6 million pay check, unlimited private jet service, absurd house and other perks

All in the "value" was well over the 5. Then the question becomes did they even report the jet service or the house, maid, or whatever that came with it.

Checking in before nap time. Hoping to dream Tennessee finds a stud QB, at least 2 (preferably 3), 300lbs+ DL, a CB, and whatever else we need while I slumber. If it's not gonna happen in reality, maybe it can at least happen in the land of make believe.

Maybe.

A key difference between those situations is that Mensah signed his deal a year ago, whereas Williams signed his deal a couple weeks prior.

That won't matter. Can you get out of a mortgage because it a few years old? I have said for awhile things would straighten out. The schools can afford better lawyers than the players.
Nico's Dad or Cousin Vinnie is no match for F. Lee Bailey.

If the Thamel report is true, I suspect Duke will enforce the contract and would not blame them for doing so. I do wonder if these kids even read or are given a summary from agents of what they sign. I’m not sure why Mensah would shop around if he knows his exclusive rights belong to Duke, but I guess this Wild West we are in is giving the student athlete the impression their power is unlimited.

If they enforce this stuff for players, they need to start enforcing coaching contracts.

Weren’t we told by some insiders on here that we had a singular booster donor who had agreed to drop big bags for an established, successful portal QB?

Isn’t now that chance?

I agree - don't think we see this year as that year as a program. Not by behaviors thus far.

Just a fact, Tennessee will have one of the younger P4 rosters again next year. Does a $10M QB suddenly change that? Are we going to pay that much for the best player to opt of a bowl game next season? It's not like Mensah overcame roster limitations last year to make Duke a contender. They were 9-5. Does he suddenly take us from people talking about 6-6 or 7-5 to 10+ wins? I'm not sure he does. He would make Tennessee better. I'm just not sure it's 3 or 4 wins better with that schedule.

The rules seem to change from year to year though. And certainly, litigating the termination an older contract is much different than litigating a deal you just signed 2 weeks ago.

Still - my amusement in their fall at the hands of a guy that screwed us is reaching a diminishing return - stop stop he's dead comes to mind.

He just said we are looking at several QB's and Mensah is one of them.
