    A little post signing day analysis of the Duke roster by espn.com. Nothing earth shattering, and as the comment by a poster at the end points out, no mention of Bracey.

    Interesting quote:
    Duke signed the best class in school history last week...
    I might have said, "Duke signed its best class since the advent of recruiting ratings..."

    Big time DT target, Ryan Johnson, at Duke for an unofficial

    4* DE Ryan Johnson is on a road-trip checking out lots of schools. According to his Twitter feed, Johnson hit the CHeaters earlier yesterday, then went to Duke where he took in the game last night. He met with his recruiter, Coach Jones, his potential future position coach, Coach Albert, and a former HS teammate, Zavier Carmichael. Apparently Ryan is sticking around this morning to meet Coach Cut. I like that among other details, he posts his GPA on his Twitter account, a 3.96. Ryan is getting recruited by some big time schools, and IMO has the chops to be a Duke kid. What a great get he would be for Duke Football! I hope he's impressed by what he experiences during his visit. LGD!

    I hate when I get interested in a guy we don't have committed yet, but he seems like a good fit from this.

    ESPN profile says 4.42 which is excellent, excellent speed:

    I could jump off a 300 ft cliff and not go 40 yards in 4.25 seconds.


    Hmm. Might make 40 feet in 4.25 seconds. If a bear were chasing me.

    Not sure if he's really that fast (why I included the "supposedly") but watch the hudl highlights Bob posted...dude can fly!

    Wonder if he was visiting/at the game today?

    I heard that the 4.42 number was laser verified

    Better than verification by ill-tempered sea bass.

    I trust our scouting, but I like to brag about our recruiting classes too, and getting players that just may be diamonds in the rough are harder to brag about than "blue chip" (4-5star) players.

    I basically understand this sentiment, especially given that our two '17 commits so far are both un-starred prospects, and given how far the program and its recruiting have come.

    But my question for those more knowledgeable about football recruiting is this --- Are we just too early in the '17 recruiting cycle for a lot of these guys to have ratings/rankings? i.e., Is it reasonable to assume that come summertime, with football camps and whatnot, that a lot of these 'un-starred' guys will get their stars?

    Thanks to Bob Green for posting the video of Hubbard. I don't need laser confirmation to know that the dude can fly. Wow. I wonder if he projects as a running back in college, or perhaps a receiver in the Crowder/Rahming mold. His size would suggest the latter, though Shaun Wilson has at times shown us how dangerous speed can be out of the backfield, even without much size.

    I understand that Duke had a number of prospects in this weekend for a "junior day" . . . perhaps another BangBang DukeGang to come?

    Am I correct in thinking this is the same Marvin Hubbard who appears in a YouTube clip winning the 2015 Junior Olympic's 100m dash (15-16yo boys)? It appears this individual runs out of the Star Track TC in Atlanta.
    Aside from the rise of our football team, can our track program draw such athletes now?

    I like his prospects of being a Darren Sproles styled running back because he possesses decent size for his 5'9" frame. Listed at around 180 lbs
