    With so many options, I, in OK, watched almost allDuke football games. ESPN+ helped some.

    We should probably substitute "national TV" with "prime time" or "featured" TV when talking about that kind of exposure as a selling point for recruits given the current media setup.

    Interesting. WR is the one position that seems to ensure that if you are even halfway decent, you'll see the field. We sure saw a lot of less than halfway decent players this past season.
    Maybe he dented the new coach's car?

    Fuller seemed to have potential early but never made the field in an opportunity-rich WR environment.

    Anyway, I don't know the young man, but he saw action in three games and caught two passes for 15 yards, one against Miami and the other against NCCU.

    Last year he caught five passes but for only 17 yards.

    Unfortunate news...

    Keyston Fuller suffered a knee injury during an off season workout before his redshirt freshman season that required surgery and set him back. He missed the entire season and perhaps he never fully recovered.

    https://balldurham.com/2016/06/21/du...-knee-surgery/

    Keyston Fuller was an All-State wide receiver and four-year letterwinner at Griffin High School in Georgia, and was ranked as the 27th best wide receiver in the country for the recruiting class of 2015. He was expected to play a key role in the offense this year. At Duke he was named the co-Most Improved Offensive Player after spring practice this year and earned the Sonny Falcone Iron Duke Award in 2015 for his performance and commitment to strength training and conditioning.
    Fuller did not see the field until his third year at Duke.

    Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but looks like Josh Jackson (and others) are transferring from Virginia Tech. Let the craziness continue.

    Keyston has had a positive attitude despite this difficulty. He's finishing up his classwork and moving on.

    Fuller did make some contributions on special teams.

    Ironically, he and Scott Bracey are the two most-touted WR recruits over the last few years and neither really has made much of an impact at WR.

    Still time for Bracey, of course.

    On the other hand, Duke has brought in a fair number of wide receivers in the last two prep classes. Fuller likely saw the handwriting on the wall.

    It’s good that there will be a landing spot for him.

    Bracey has had a major impact on me, he's made me sad. Had immense hopes for him (maybe something will change), but looking at him on the field, I'm not sure what attribute(s) it was that
    made people project him as a big time receiver...not especially fast, not especially shifty.
    Looking forward to some new WRs and a new coach, maybe it will shake things up in a positive manner.

    Offseason moves

    In addition to the Feamster, Hayes, Lucas, and Fuller departures, it looks as if Mason Williams (transfer from Penn) is also absent from the roster. I would expect that PT was also a factor here and that Duke was over the 85 schollie limit, prior.

    I actually thought that in the Spring Game and in very limited opportunities, Fuller showed some ability. Not sure what he would do with more chances, but I saw something that I personally would have liked to have seen what he could do with more playing time (though admittedly, I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about it). However, with that, much respect to him for coming, getting his degree, everything he gave to Duke, and I wish him the best wherever he goes.

    One separate question: Any update on Mark Gilbert? Not sure if some on here have any insight. Thanks.

    No inside info here, but the GoDuke roster has been recently updated for the spring and it includes Gilbert and our new WR Coach and does not include any of the transfers previously mentioned. Also includes our true freshmen.

    I just looked at the running transfer portal on 247 sports to get a gauge of whether our transfers were above the norm. Apologies if this has already been covered, but Holy Smokes!! What is going on at Virginia Tech??? There must have been a dozen guys transferring out.

    Any insight as to what's going on at VPI? Are they all grad transfers? Is there a new wave of recruits coming in?

    Williams wasn't on scholarship if my info is correct. But yeah, he's gone, too.
