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!
Has Damond Johnson already signed aN LOI? On 247, it doesn't say "Verbal" it says "Signed" and in the Timeline is says DAmond Johnso signs Letter Of Intent...if so, WOW! And when you look at his 4.28 40 time, DOUBLE WOW!!

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.
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.
