Is he in the portal?

Not yet - he's about to get paid though

If he were my kid, he’s staying at Duke and getting a Duke diploma.
Got to be out of your mind trading that degree for one from LSU.

From Mandeville. I’d love to get him!
I coached his Mom, she was a good basketball player and great athlete.

Depends on the difference in NIL earnings. If he stands to make $1million more at LSU than at Duke, you’d be out of your mind trading that for a Duke degree.
Put that extra million in an S&P index fund in your early twenties, and it blows away the extra earning potential from a Duke degree compared to an LSU degree.

He’s a smart kid. 30+ on the ACT out of Mandeville. Hope he stays at Duke.

Hopefully his parents use their intelligence that they blessed him with and they make the correct decision here.
Stay at DUKE

Yeah, I’d say Nate is in a very good position. Win/Win no matter the decision.
Duke degree.. awesome
NIL Money.. awesome
Healthy and Developing… NFL awesome!

Both parents played sports at LA Tech , mom. Volleyball / dad football. Nate’s brother lettered 4 yrs at Vanderbilt and 1 yr at Colorado - WR . He will likely stay at Duke and get a healthy raise

As a fan, if LSU gets Lacy then yea he needs to just stay at Duke. If LSU somehow doesn’t get Lacy, then I hope Kiffin goes hard after him with an offer he can’t refuse and makes a bad decision and comes to LSU. We would need him

Likely staying at Duke but zero chance he ends up at LSU.

Believe you mean after federal and state taxes of $640,000 and a cool car $540,000.
Depending on degree, the PV Duke degree incremental earnings to equiv LSU + $540,000 is possible to probable.
Have to PV the access to access of Duke, in general, and moreso if a Duke athlete who set school sport records (Freshman rushing record for example).

It’s heavily depending on degree though. There are some degrees where it really doesn’t mean much.

Haha yeah because that fricking degree would make way more in his lifetime. Mental midget thinking short term, would expect anything less on the rant.

Would rather him on a much cheaper deal than Lacy. Hopefully Lane gets in touch.

everyone is a Duke diploma expert now
