    Here's an article from the Chronicle. When I posted that, I didn't have the name yet. This is big, really big.

    Tremendous recruit, but he's class of 2016 so he's not our 16th recruit in the current class...

    Class of 2015 currently includes four recruits from California: Ben Humphreys, Tyler Petite, Reno Rosene and Aaron Young.
    I'm guessing we now know what he was hinting.

    Or do we? Seems likely that another California commitment may be coming, though not quite done yet.

    I agree with Duvall. Today's big commit is from Virginia, I think something is still shaking in California!

    And hopefully it's not the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Within the past hour, the staff has tweeted to ring the bell for a recruit in the 2015 class... but no name .... yet. Stay tuned!

    I love how they are using the bell; hopefully we'll be using it next season, too!

    During this interval of time there is a building of new football traditions while honoring some of the old traditions.

    The company hired to manage the branding for the athletic department provides generic branding. It's up to real people in programs like the football program to generate the traditions which resonate with all of us.

    I'm so delighted that the bell is being used and not stored in a closet until the next Carolina football game.

    The recruit is Zack Baker, a 6-3, 265 pound OG from Green Cove Springs, Fla.

    Can't find a star rating, but he had 25 confirmed offers, including 14 from BCS schools -- Georgia Tech and Wake offered from the ACC, along with Cal. Oregon State, Iowa State and West Virginia.

    A solid pickup ...

    Update: 247 has him as a three-star and lists him at 6-4, 283 ...

    Welcome Zack -- OT and C. Now we're done fot 2015 on the OL.

    http://duke.scout.com/a.z?s=167&p=8&c=1&nid=7558675


    6'3" and 265, with some great scouting video - and tons of offers, including Cal (are they sick of us stealing their recruits yet or what?!!), GaTech, Cincy, WV, Iowa State, Wake, etc.
    Listed at Off Tackle and Center - I think Center may have been a remaining need for this class...

    Looks like a solid 3-star recruit. But only about 3 slots left for this class (19 of 22) ?

    Am thinking we will still get 1-2 RB's, and maybe a DT and maybe another LB...

    Welcome Zack!

    Two posters so far have named the new Blue Devil Zack. His name is Zach. There is a Zack Baker out of California, also in the 2015 class, that is listed as a "dual threat quarterback" on Rivals. However, he is not threatening anyone's recruiting lists.

    Nyheim Hines is looking at a variety of schools but just got back from Ohio State. Here's his video: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2063589/...ghts/122814375

    Urban Meyer made sure Nyheim Hines knows he is a wanted man, and the country's No. 2 all-purpose back says he has never seen anything like Ohio State.http://northcarolina.247sports.com/A...State-28906236

    A couple other links if you're interested...

    Just another angle on the ongoing recruiting success.
    espn's current rankings of classes puts us at #23. it's insider, but i'll quote a bit... http://insider.espn.go.com/college-s.../date/20140728

    15UCLA
    16USC
    17Texas
    18North Carolina
    19Oregon
    20Michigan
    21Oklahoma State
    22Oklahoma
    23Duke
    24Florida
    25Arkansas

    If this were one of those tests of "which school doesn't belong," people would historically have not found this difficult (though I'm not sure they wouldn't have said both of the schools in the state of North Carolina).
    Now, they might ask which of the above teams didn't win 10 games last year, and the "out of place" teams would be Texas, Michigan, Carolina, Florida, and Arkansas (the latter two with losing records, and Florida had to grab our OC to try turn things around)...

    This is an information filled article on Duke's 2015 recruiting efforts:

    http://www.charlotteobserver.com/201...l#.U9zPDsJ0zIU

    I like this comment on DE Trevon McSwain:

    Trevon McSwain, a Georgia defensive end, is one of Luginbill’s favorites in the class, based on his ability to fill out his frame (6-foot-6, 220 pounds – Luginbill projects him at 260 entering his redshirt freshman year) and room for development.

    My favorite was from Tyler Petite.
    Obviously there are great coaches everywhere, but I don’t think you could find a guy like coach Cutcliffe, especially what he’s been doing there.
