They’ve ALREADY MADE big moves in the transfer portal.

Still could use a stud/veteran middie or 2.

I was in Baltimore over this past weekend and attended the Hop game with some alums. Given the miserable weather and more time in the bar than in the stands the talk was that Duffy is hitting the portal this summer and is interested in transferring to Hop next season. I had heard this rumor elsewhere but ignored it as end of season chatter. Was taking Nick Dupuis an insurance policy in the event that this unfortunate event occurs? Why else would we need to add to our attack ranks. Duffy(?), Matan, Dom, Wrede and the freshman Karestos with other quality players incoming next fall. If there is one unit on the team that does not need another player it is the attack. I hate the portal. Thank goodness we do not have to worry about NIL, yet.
Has anyone else heard this rumor or just drunken Jays.

I have not heard this one yet, I'd be sad to see Owen Duffy go.

My guess to picking up Dupuis is to have a pass first attackman. Neither Duffy, Matan, Wrede or Dom strike me as that. They'll get some apples but they're trying to get goals. Plus, they'll need some veteran leadership there. Dupuis will be a 6th year senior.

If that’s true, sounds like some serious tampering allegations as I’m sure NIL money had to have been floated.

Well, the Heels (allegedly) used NIL to sway those middie recruits this year, so sword cuts both ways I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any reason why Duffy would want to transfer, I get UNC having a down year, but he was and still is the number 1 guy on the team. So I'm curious about the rumors about him leaving

He asked, if anyone heard this. I answered with the "story is". The source was reputable and has donned Carolina Blue. That does not mean Duffy will hit the portal. It more prevalent in football, but lot of kids threaten to hit the portal as a negotiating ploy. No idea if that is what this is about or if he is really looking to leave.

What schools are going to succumb to NIL demands from non revenue generating players? Honest question because it is an interesting topic. JHU? Georgetown? Denver? Are Ivy's too elite to play the NIL game? UNC has all the marketing power to help a player capitalize on their Name/Image/Likeness which I am guessing is the recruiting pitch, but I cannot see them allocating NIL money from the funds put together for Football and Basketball (Heels4Life). Slippery slope especially with the recent BOT comments.

If we are going by the rumor mill, the top schools would be Hopkins and Cuse.
