I'd remove Jaren Keawe from the list bc he shouldn't be in the transfer rankings. They should just count that as Cal's recruiting class.

Then I'd rank like this:

1. Beck
2. Mateer
3. Arnold
4. Mensah
5. Moss
6. Mendoza
7. Kromenhoek
8. Murphy
9. Michael Van Buren
10. Connor Weigman

Dropped Air Noland out.

Mensah is a talent at Q. Will he have the offensive players around him to be better than he was at Tulane? I know they have some explosive guys in the backfield that they can get creative with. I’m not sure if it’s a huge difference compared to Tulane. But the Duke team as a whole should be marginally better than Tulane.

They lost practically everyone that made plays this year.

Mateer. He’s got a much higher ceiling than Beck IMO. Beck has a higher floor. If we had a roster loaded with talent on both sides , it would make sense to take the more accomplished qb with the higher floor, even if he isn’t quite the playmaker that Mateer is. The roster still has a lot of holes and I think Mateers ability to make something out of nothing (like Cam Ward did ) would be more valuable right now.

Beck’s ceiling is the #1 overall pick. Not sure there’s a higher ceiling. Mateer is a very different player. He’s more in the mold of the traditional air raid guy where he has one or two reads and looks to run. He was very effective in WSU’s system but there’s a huge difference in the competition he played against than what Cam Played against while there. And it’s miles away from what Beck played against at UGA. Obviously the arm injury is a huge factor but a healthy Beck is not only a better player but he’s faced much better competition and is a better fit for the offense we’ve run under Dawson.

Are you sure that was the timeline?

are you sure it was manny's decision? manny makes strange moves but maybe murphy is a west coast kid and wanted to take a bag? why do people assume that manny pushed him out?

it's more likely that Murphy asked for more after a solid year, and/or told him he was leaving so duke got desperate and gave mensah an insane bag (the best realistic qb option for them at the time)

I’m not sure of anything when it comes to this stuff. Your explanation is as good as any I’ve heard. Was he pushed, or did he jump? We may never know for sure. It’ll be interesting to see whether or not Mensah does more for Duke than Murphy did, though.

Bud Elliot has said that he had heard that they lowered Murphy NIL deal and he bounced out after that. So if that's true that means they pushed him out. I kinda wanna believe Bud Elliot on this one
