Welcome Jalen. 17 total power 5 offers. I love recruits from Georgia.

Bang Bang!! Nice bit of pre-Spring news
Practice starts in a couple weeks for the team?
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
I've thought something like a "Sum ranking of the five best offers" would be an intresting way to look at football recruiting, and perhaps more predictive than the various star systems. This lad would have a nice score in that game. I'll add my "welcome" with bells on it.
Not sure where to put this, so . . . .

Great news to start off my Sunday. Welcome to Duke, Jalen Alexander.

I"ll take the importance of offer sheets any day over various star assessments. The guys who offer the scholarships are the true professionals. I'll take a three star kid with offers from
teams like Auburn, Oklahoma and Michigan State without question over a four star kid with lesser offers. Frequently the star system catches up with the offers anyway.
At a recent Pro Bowl, 35 players had been 2 or 3 star players in high school.

In the euphoria of last night - I was in Cameron and it was delicious - nobody has mentioned what an outstanding day Saturday was for Duke football. We received three outstanding commitments, all from in-state, one a four star running back and the other two are three star recruits! Go Devils!

Well, who are they?
We gotta work on Bob Green as he usually scoops everyone on this sort of good FB news. Bob musta been napping yesterday afternoon to rest up for the game last PM (chain-yanking here as I think Bob and his grandson were at the LAX match or maybe the baseball game .)

Enjoyed "meeting Coach Goethie" via this brief interview with Dave Harding.
Welcome to Duke.
The Coach Cutcliffe tree looks like it's added a strong branch.

There are certainly question marks as Spring Practice commences, starting with the kicking game, but all Duke fans should be excited about the experience and talent on the roster in 2018.The Blue Devils return 16 starters and 48 lettermen from last year’s squad that went 7-6 and earned a 36-14 victory over Northern Illinois in the Quick Lane Bowl.
