The possibilities are exciting. Forgive me for forgetting that Ross Cockrell and Jamison Crowder were two-star recruits...
Great, Bob. Some thoughts:
The biggest revelation to me is that Cut is not at all ruling Sirk out...would not have been shocked to learn otherwise. Still no assurance if and when
he can return, but it's nice to know it's a possibility.
Also thrilled about Lloyd at WR (Clemson had offered him yet we haven't found a spot for him yet, trying him at QB, DB and now WR).
Also keen on keeping Edwards at CB, even with Fields coming back.
It'll be interesting to see how new DL coach Albert shuffles the deck on the defensive line...can't wait to see the two deep after Spring practice.

Video clip with comments from quarterback Parker Boehme and Offensive Coordinator Zac Roper:

Interesting to hear Coach Roper say they are not ruling out the possibility Thomas Sirk will be back by September.

If we go 9-3 this season coach cut will have broken 0.500 since he arrived at Duke. To some this may not mean a lot, but to me this is a monumental achievement that signifies that we have made the complete 180 degree program turnaround.
So is Pierre no longer on the chart as a quarterback? Didn't see him mentioned in any of the articles or discussion.
It's very interesting in deed! I've heard some comments coming from Cut not long ago, asserting the need to do a full evaluation of all QBs on the roster. Working with the assumption that Sirk is out for the foreseeable future, Boehme was declared the #1 going into Spring Practice. Have there been any clear distinctions made by the staff regarding how Harris and Jones rank behind Boehme?
Reference was made to difficult schedule this year. Is it out yet?
Here's the GoDuke link. Basically non-conference sked keeps NCCU, Army, and Northwestern (away) and adds Notre Dame instead of Tulane. Conference: the inter-divisional change is we lose BC and gain Louisville. (Wake is a permanent game on the schedule.)
