    can someone put this in perspective?

    I love Duke Football, and follow the games closely. However, the recruiting aspect of things is new to me.

    Obviously, this recruit seems to have gotten many people excited. But what about him is exciting? How good is he? I'm not asking for predictions, but just some information which helps me understand how strongly Duke is competing for players. Again, I assume this guy is quite a good grab. How can I find more info?

    According to the link (above), he is rated the #2 wide receiver. Is that #2 in Florida or #2 in the nation?

    Will be happy with either. Welcome to Duke!

    To my knowledge, he isn't ranked. Scout doesn't list him as ranked. I believe that's his jersey number.

    Still, that size and speed is a welcome addition to the team!

    I'm thinking that he wears number two, and they're telling you that for when you watch the video piece.
    Very little info out there on him, because it's so early in the cycle...saw one good database on Rivals which didn't even list him...

    Nobody can throw a cinderblock that fast.

    He can sign in about 360 days.

    I'll believe a 4.28 40 when I see him going stride-for-stride with Usain Bolt.

    Doesn't mean he's not a great prospect. But 4.28? Call me a skeptic.

    Agreed. Can he catch,block, or hold on to the ball ?

    That 40 time is likely self-reported, i.e., he's probably not a 4.28.

    He's currently under the radar. Won't last long. If Cut wants him, I want him. Great start for the Blue Devils.

    Even if his true speed is 4.4 or 4.5, I'll still take it. As mentioned above, metrics don't determine how good a football player you are, but Duke doesn't typically get guys with these skills, especially at at this height.

    Agreed. As long as he doesn't have stone hands and is coachable. Even if the speed isn't accurate, if it's anywhere in the neighborhood and along with that height, its a helluva start.

    yeah, the speed is highly unlikely. However, given how early we are in this recruiting cycle, Cut must really like the kid, because
    he has to be hoping for another monster class, and he wouldn't waste an offer this early on a kid about whom he had doubts.

    Agreed. I wonder if this is what the Florida visit was for in the last week or two, assume so.

    If you have a tall blur going deep, defenses have to respect it. And if he has real skill -- and let's face it, Cut has a proven eye for discerning talent -- this is a great get.

    Or, as Mike Corey said more succinctly: if Cut wants him, I want him.
