Has Jaden Watkins been announced here? I haven't seen his name, I don't think.
A WR with a really nice offer sheet.
https://247sports.com/college/duke/A...gkfCmnMITmnbr4He chose Duke over commutable offers from Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, NC State, Liberty, Illinois, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest among others.
Another NC commit, from Asheville.

Here is the video of his commitment on Twitter. Seems like a really good kid.

Off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread. Today I got the email for $16 tickets and then I saw Jody, a mid-thirties bailiff. A few years ago I gave her four football tickets, for which she has unduly thanked me. I asked her if she wanted to go again and she started digging out photos to the Pittsburgh game (and she didn't remember the winner-I don't either). Long story short, I asked her how many tix she wanted and after much musing, she said six. Ordered and I can't wait to hear her game day report.
BangBang DukeGang!
Duke has received a commitment - our 12th - from 6'3" 190 lb. Georgia athlete Savion Riley over offers from 10 schools including Maryland, Wake Forest and Harvard. Savion is currently unranked. I love getting guys from Georgia.
Welcome Savion!

Watching the 2022 recruiting class with curiosity as it appears Duke is entering into an imminent period of head coaching uncertainty. Looking at the recruits with other P5 offers, I presume they’re committed more to the academics despite the near future change of the direction the program will take? Does anyone see the football program promoting from within?
Just a random thought as football recruiting for 2022 appears to be projecting Duke good.
Linebacker Carter Wyatt from West Brunswick, NC has verbally committed. He picked Duke over Georgia Tech, Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State.

Welcome to DukeGang22 Carter! You chose well.
Mr. Wyatt is our 13th recruit for 2022 and our third from NC. He also had a P5 offer from Syracuse. 247 Sports has him as a three star and the 35th rated recruit in NC. His film looks like he could play our hybrid lb/safety position. He is 6'2" 215 lb.
