Duke Football 2015 Recruiting

[roywhite]

Remember, Cut likes speed. WRs are usually the fastest sprinters on their high school team.

Having spent most of the past 47 years watching Duke get burned by faster players, I say keep signing them until the pen runs out of ink.

..

One more reason to ring the Victory Bell... it's been filling the Yoh with peals of excitement for new Cheetahs heading to Durham.

Cheetahs vs Cheaters?

That works for me!

Trey Turner plays quarterback in high school, but he will almost certainly be a safety at Duke ... in fact, he seems to be a perfect candidate to replace Jeremy Cash at the strike position in a couple of years.

He's 6-1, 185 with 4.41 speed.

Bear Bryant (who was Cutcliffe's ultimate mentor) always recruited a ton of quarterbacks, believing they were the best athletes on their high school teams. He'd turn them into RBs, WRs, DBs and sometimes LBs. This appears to be a perfect example of Bryant's philosophy.

He's too short to play QB anyway.

Wait, Roy, I thought you were from NC and not Bahston.

While Duke likes their safeties and cornerbacks to be interchangeable, Turner was on the board at CB. With Jordan Hayes at safety already, the staff is looking to Rashad Roundtree and Kahlil Haughton to fill that other safety spot in 2015.

Still, Turner will play on the field wherever he fits. Be that at CB, Safety, "Phantom", WR, PR, KR, wherever. Kid is an athlete, a la Keyston Fuller, who you get on the roster and put him on the field where he fits.

And now Coach Cut and crew add another fast, versatile athlete who projects as a defensive back.

17 D-1 offers, including Miami, UNC, Missouri, Wake Forest and Northwestern ...

This is getting ridiculous. I remember the Franks recruits in the early 2000s - we were beating out Bowling Green/Temple. We've come a long way since the arrival of Cut and Mr. White.

and then voila!, right on cue, Alabama QB/CB Keith Washington climbs into the Duke Blue Truck.

Is it true that we have 15 commitments for the class of 2015? I haven't seen numbers like that the last few years of Mack Brown's tenure at Texas.

we've grabbed a lot of early commitments in the past, but not with the quality of this class.
There are a few other top notch guys looking to make decisions very soon...fingers crossed.

An announcement from 4-Star TE Tyler Petite should come soon. He visited USC last week.

Safety Rashad Roundtree is another prospect to keep an eye on:

the redshirts always get killed, though. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Five minutes after reading that, I am still laughing.

4 Star TE (6'6" 225) Tyler Petite has verbally committed to Duke:

He picked Duke over USC.

[Mike Corey]

Perhaps the biggest get yet.

Duke just landed Tyler Petite, one of the nation's top tight ends, who picked Duke over offers from Southern Cal, Stanford, Washington, Oregon State, Miami (FL), Arizona State, Arizona, and pretty much everyone else.

I know he is, but he certainly doesn't look petite.

...Sorry, sorry. I'll shut up now.

3 years ago I would have thought that link was an April fools joke.

Whomever takes over for Boone after this year is certainly going to have plenty of targets available!

So this is our best recruiting class since ... ?

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count. To add to the fun, Duke is now listed in the top 20 of the 2015 class. (At #20)
Don't know how long we'll stay there, but the way the coaches are bringing these guys in, it will be fun to pay attention to.
