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.
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.
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:

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

He picked Duke over USC.

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.
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.

Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
