We're back with another DBR Bites as we continue to discuss the ramifications of Darian Mensah entering the transfer portal at the 11th hour, leaving Duke having to answer a ton of questions about who will be their starting quarterback next season. Donald is joined by Scott Rich to have a more in depth discussion, breaking down several points about his departure and what it means for Duke, the ACC, and college football as a whole. As Duke decides on what it will do, we examine several options and what they could mean to the success of the Duke program, from contract enforcement to burning bridges to whether this could prompt the NCAA to step in and provide further regulation on NIL deals.

The Duke Blue Devils demolished the Stanford Cardinal 80-50 on Saturday evening. Donald and Scott Rich return to recap everything on Episode 788. Duke got it done by dominating the paint and with suffocating defense. We go through all the things that the Blue Devils did well to smother Stanford. They took Ebuka Okorie out of the game and they didn’t let anyone else beat them. On offense, Cam Boozer led the charge, but Duke controlling the paint and getting to their spots allowed them to start out quickly and never look back. We also get into the things that hopefully will improve from this game as well as discuss our plays of the game and player of the week honors. Duke becomes just the 2nd team since Cal and Stanford entered the ACC to go west and win both games, so we’re certainly happy about that! Make sure you’re following us!

What a gut punch! With just hours before the window closed, Duke quarterback Darian Mensah has decided to enter the transfer portal, and in all likelihood will be headed to play for Miami. It’s a short emergency DBR Bites #135 as Donald flies solo to discuss it for a few minutes. Of course, Donald has the unique perspective as a Duke and Miami Law alum. So, we try to parse through the emotion in part to figure out what’s next for Duke after this news. It’s not great for the program to see their quarterback leave just a couple weeks after he announced that he was staying at Duke. It certainly throws a lot more questions into the roster and whether Duke can continue to hold onto players before the transfer portal entry window closes. There’s also Mensah’s contract that included Duke exclusively hanging onto his NIL rights. There are a ton more questions, but we will be back later this weekend to make more sense of this.

The Duke Blue Devils remain in the Bay Area on their West Coast road trip, and a date looms tomorrow against the Stanford Cardinal. Donald and Scott Rich preview the upcoming game on DBR Bites #134. Stanford is doing well this season, and they are coming off an upset win on Wednesday night against UNC. Duke hopes to buck the trend of ACC teams failing to go 2-0 on their Bay Area road trips, and Donald and Scott go through how they can do that with a win against the Cardinal. Rebounding will be a key, but also they need to figure out how to stop Ebuka Okorie, who had a career night against the Tar Heels and is one of the best players in the country. After the preview, the NCAA may have done something right! They have changed the dates of the transfer portal for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and men’s hockey, and it will now open the day after the national championship games for those sports. We discuss the NCAA finally doing the bare minimum in shifting the portal dates so it doesn’t make coaches have to try and recruit during the NCAA Tournament. Make sure you’re following us!

The Duke Blue Devils got another win on the road, taking out the Cal Golden Bears in ACC After Dark action. Donald and Scott Rich recap everything on Episode 787. The Blue Devils had another slow start, but they were able to work hard defensively to stifle the Bears. And, they were able to control the paint, scoring inside in the 2nd half to pull away. Duke also got some solid play from players in ways that don’t always show up on a stat sheet, and that was the difference in seeing the team pull away down the stretch. We get into the stuff to work on and we also get into the play of the game by Isaiah Evans, but we couple it with another play where the sequence creating a successful play for Duke that broke the spirits of the Cal fans in attendance.

The Duke Blue Devils were able to hold off the SMU Mustangs, winning 82-75 on Saturday afternoon to move to 15-1 on the season and 4-0 in the ACC. Donald and Scott Rich recap everything about a perplexing game on Episode 786. The Blue Devils did great in certain aspects defensively, and got some great performances from Cayden Boozer and Pat Ngongba even as they moved into a bench role for this game. We talk about all the other things that went well from this game, from forcing turnovers to Isaiah Evans and Cam Boozer leading the charge offensively. We also discuss the things to improve from this game, which was other parts of the defense and learning how to close out games where we have the lead.
