You do what you need to do.

But we wanted to get on here again and kind of separate this discussion from that of the basketball.

And, of course, we're talking about Derry Mensah on Friday night announcing that after announcing that he was coming back to Duke for another year, announcing very, very late at the 11th hour, just hours before the transfer portal window closed, that he was entering the transfer portal.

And there's a lot of talk about him going to the university of Miami and we'll get into some of that speculation and some of the fallout that's going to happen as a result of that.

I obviously put out my own little mini bites at the time.

I said, I wanted to continue to gather my thoughts and also have an opportunity for Scott to do this.

Jason is still on his way back from Africa.

So I'm sure on a future episode, Jason will have his thoughts on the dairy and mince to transfer and all that has fallen out from it.

But yeah,

Scott, I bring you in because I want to start with this.

Derry Mensah, of course, I think a lot of people feel burned, and rightfully so, by the fact that just, what, 17 days ago, he had this great video announcement that he was running it back.

And he was like, hey, I'm coming back.

We're going to try and go for more heights.

You know, we obviously want to defend our ACC championship.

We want to go for the college football playoff and contend for a national championship.

And he felt that he could do that here at Duke.

And then with just mere hours before the transfer portal window closed, he kind of, with a very small statement, said, an AI statement, as some people kind of pointed out, I'm forever grateful for Duke, but I'm entering the transfer portal.

So give me your thoughts, at least overall, as we start, on Darian Mensah deciding at the 11th hour to kind of change his mind and flip on Duke and go into the portal.

Well, the thing is he made the decision for him and didn't consider anyone but him, right?

And it's very evident, right?
