    I don't know about that. I think he wanted the bigger stage, the bigger crowds, the more wide open Big 12 thing....I think he would've certainly started for Duke. On the other hand, I think Harris deserves to start, and Gunnar and Katrenick deserve the shot to beat him out.

    So one the one hand, would've liked to have seen Kendall at Duke. On the other, kind of a relief we don't have that tension.

    It took them so long to officially announce it I was starting to worry it had fallen through! Appears to be a great addition to the staff.

    Think Duke/Cut would have any interest in this guy?

    My hunch is no. Not rated nearly where the kid from Charlotte/Oklahoma was....and I wouldn't think Cut would muddy up the water with another QB unless it was a homerun recruit.

    My feeling as well. I do expect QB will be a priority for the 2020 recruiting class (as of now we would have 2 scholarship QBs on the roster in 2020 unless I am forgetting someone).

    Filling that priority would be easier, I think, if we see DJ get an ESPN moment as a first round draft pick in April..."from 2 star recruit to first round pick by way of Cutcliffe..."

    One would think so, and yet for all his rep as a guy who has taught top QBs, Cut has had problems luring top QBs to Duke...he's even noted himself that many of them don't seem to feel they need much coaching.
    Sears and The Rat decommitting did not help, either.

    I agree with your bigger point, but Cut's never had a great QB draft moment while at Duke...and DJ may be his first. The contrast between where DJ is now, versus Sears and The Rat, is stunning. What separates DJ from Sears and the Rat? Playing for Cut. Maybe some of these QBs can do the math.

    Yeah, it's a good moment for him, we'll see if it spawns anything. There is certainly plenty of buzz around his coaching the Mannings, and yet that has not sent a lot of top QB prospects our way...Holmberg maybe?
    It just seems that the top QBs tend to flock to the ultra big time programs...one can always hope...

    Adam Rowe is tweeting that the Texas A&M backup QB will be a grad transfer this summer with two years eligibility and said he is looking at Duke among others.

    Regrettably the trend has been that transferring QBs give us a sniff but then choose the brighter lights...we've had several of those already this portal season. (I still love that phrase...hey coach, are you having a good portal this year?)

    I love it as well. I want to see the Flash Gordon/Star Trek style of video where the player enters a booth in one uniform on one campus and exits in a different uniform on another campus.

    Maybe one of our brighter computer science guys can hack the portal's destination software, kid who thought he'd opted for Ohio State finds himself walking around West Campus.
    There was that tale about a Wake coach (was it Bones?) who says he successfully recruited a kid for Wake while showing him the Duke campus...stuff happens.

    Peahead Walker, the football coach credited with getting Wake to the right level at the right time to be invited into the ACC and not left behind in the SoCon. Lots more stories here:

    nice find. Can't imagine why we wouldn't want to emulate Peahead, proven strategy!

    Living in Oklahoma and seeing (on the net) what high ranked QBs seem to look for, in addition to coaching, are substantial offensive linemen, super receivers, and chance to win big.

    yup, and also lots of national television I would imagine.
