A couple of posters have suggested that Duke get a coach who can recruit. To my mind, this has been one of Coach Roof's strongest points. When you look at our record over the past ten years (yeah, this phrase doesn't exactly bolster my argument), Roof's recruits have been at the low end of the ACC, but sometimes better, and our national recruiting rankings have been a real upgrade over the past two staffs. That's amazing to me. With our perpetual bottom-feeder position, I often find myself asking, "How the heck did he get THAT kid?" I never said that with Franks' recruits or Goldsmith's guys, who rarely seemed to have other decent offers (don't mean to insult those players, but that's my general impression).
I often ask myself, if Roof can recruit decent talent to 0-12 teams, I'd love to see what he could do on the recruiting trail if we ever won any games (of course, that's the rub).
This year, ACC champion Wake Forest's class was ranked 63rd by Scout.com. 0-12 Duke's class was ranked tied for 64th. So while recruiting could be better, I'd say this has been a relatively bright point for Coach Roof.
