Also, some of the listed commitments to other programs are "soft verbals"--a concept Cutcliffe rightly disparages.

Devilsden (scout.com) is showing two new Duke Football recruits for the Class of 2015:
Joe Giles-Harris - a LB (6'1" 210#) from Montvale, NJ
Reno Rosene -- an OT (6'7", 315# or more) from Oaks Christian HS in Westlake Village, CA
That brings the class to 6 and all have 3-stars in scout rankings.
Rosene has offers from Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Washington State, Vanderbilt, Arizona State, San Diego State, NC State...

Here's his profile from rivals.yahoo.com which shows him as a 345-lb 4-star prospect, with good grades to boot!
Giles-Harris also had a ton of offers, according to his rivals.yahoo.com profile
15 offers and the #11 ranked prospect in New Jersey -- very impressive.

Coach Cut and the football staff are on a roll, picking up their third commitment in less than 48 hours with a verbal from Flynn Nagel, a WR from Illinois.
Like the other 2015 commits, he has a 3-star rating and received numerous other offers.
I am more excited about football recruiting and signees than I am about basketball...
#43 wide receiver in the nation with offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Iowa State and Wake Forest. This appears to be a solid pick up! I agree with roywhite, Coach Cutcliffe and staff are on a roll.

Obviously any true Duke (football) fan has to be anticipating the upcoming season considering the team's accomplishments last season. That, combined with what appear to be some very promising recruits makes me want to say, "we're reloading". Let's pause a moment and think about that. We've been thinking that for years in regard to the basketball program of course but how often have we been able to (realistically) feel that way during the football offseason? I totally agree with you, nyesq83; you're not the only one who feels that way I assure you. I've been feeling that way for a few years now with Coach Cut onboard and the progress that the program is making results-wise, recruits-wise, and facilities-wise.
Bob, for some reason I just have a gut feeling that Marquies Price is going to be a real stud on the defensive line for us with additional weight & muscle. Hopefully he will become a more than adequate replacement for Kenny Anunike in time. Whatever the case, the future is bright for the program; here's hoping the fanbase continues to grow also.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Southern Durham QB Kendall Hinton has committed to Wake Forest per the Twitterverse. Duke backed off Hinton after the Quentin Harris verbal.

WR Aaron Young (6'5" 200) to Duke. He is three stars from Murrieta, CA. He was gaining attention from lots of folks but his only other offer was from Nevada.
