Duke kicked off their camp season today with the first of their 1-day camps.
Here's a little more on Duke's camp schedule and other updates: BDN Football Friday
Also, here's a free article on Josh Dobbs, a good-looking QB prospect who just took his 2nd trip to Durham.
It looks like we received a commitment from WR/CB Johnell Barnes:

Nike Camp WR MVP. Big-time talent.
Bob Green
The Blue Devils secured two commitments after camp this past weekend. Recruiting season is in full swing, and several freshmen have moved onto campus this week.
Good pick up, Bob. Not sure I trust any of those WR from Florida, though .

[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.
This may be the off season, but with the camps in operation, it's prime time for more good news to emerge!
Sterling Korona - 6'7 250 lb. OL that the staff has been high on. Highlights.
Darren Andrews - 5'10 160 WR/CB, 3-stars by Scout and Rivals. Highlights.
And a couple of sleepers:
Mikey Ramsay - 6'3 260 OL/LB. Highlights.
Gabe Brandner - 6'6 OT, supposedly ran a 4.9 40. Also looks like Clemson offered after he committed, so hopefully we keep him.
Watzone/BDN's @PatrickCacchio has been on top of it on twitter if you want more info. Eventful weekend, apparently!

Here's a quick summary: Duke Football receives 4 commitments in 24 hours
Ramsay is definitely a sleeper who impressed at camp. Brandner is a guy who was lightly recruited because he plays in a private school league, but he is a legit player. I doubt Clemson will be the only competition we have for him before it's all said and done (but they might be the toughest).
As for Korona, the staff has been very high on him and were really the first to get after him, which certainly helped in the end. Andrews is another player who is under recruited, possible because he's played both CB and WR. I think he'll get a long look at WR for the Blue Devils, and he's excelled there on the camp/7v7 circuit.
I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Sterling Korona. Stay thirsty, my friends!
Here's a Sterling Korona interview. The 6'7" 250 pound OL is solid to Duke.
New commit Gabe Brandner chose the Blue Devils over in-state Clemson, despite picking up an offer on the same day. He says he's a man of his word: http://bluedevilnation.net/2012/06/a...tment-to-duke/
