Let's go DUKE !!!
It's a little early for full-on college football previews, but here's a short ESPN article looking at the state of Duke football and Cutcliffe's program-building focus:

And this one's about a week old, but offers some more tidbits, including the fact that Conner Vernon considered entering his name in the NFL draft:

Following practice yesterday (Friday, March 2), spring break begins for students. Next session of spring practice will be March 14.
On another note, Peyton Manning may have been working out on campus yesterday and likely will be seen at tonight's basketball game with Carolina.
Haven't heard which recruits are on campus this weekend, but there are some who will be attending the basketball game.
GO DUKE!
Peyton definitely was on campus yesterday - they even had a little segment and video on SC last night about, which was nice.
On the BB game broadcast they showed him and Coach Cut for quite a few seconds, sitting courtside, with Cut explaining something to him, and I think Bilas said he had it good authority that PM had been there for a few weeks training...
Great, great publicity for Duke FB.
I heard they left at half time which given the score could have been either a fear of some sort of jinx, but I'd prefer to think they had a busy schedule. I also heard there were some Duke FB recruits in Cameron for the game. Great publicity to have a future HOF QB in the house. Maybe he has some words of encouragement for our QBs. How awesome it must be for Thomas Sirk who enrolls early and gets to see Peyton Manning work out at your school.
Peyton did not return after the half, but Coach Cutcliffe did. The seat beside him on his left was filled by someone else for the second half. I think Heath Shuler was the guy on Coach's right.
There were several football recruits in the very back of the bleachers behind the Duke bench. Coach Knowles, Coach Lubick and Coach Latina accompanied the them.
Duke WR Conner Vernon returned to practice with the rest of the team this week and spoke with BDN after: http://bluedevilnation.net/2012/03/t...s-in-with-bdn/
I wish Peyton well on his re-hab and return to the NFL. Nothing but respect and love.
But should the day come where Cut hires him as an OC for Duke.... oh mama!
That day cannot come fast enough.
Actually, Peyton did return during the 2nd half, but he sat in a different seat, second row of Sec. AA.
Second spring scrimmage report:
http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.db...DB_OEM_ID=4200
Renfree was 14-17 with 3 TDs. I don't know whether to be excited Sean is clicking or worried our defense is porous. You can't win in a scrimmage.
EDIT: Highlights

Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
