We know this: Duke can recruit basketball players.
They’re not quite as effective when it comes to attracting elite football talent.
The Blue Devils have signed up 18 commits for 2010, and none of them are rated with more than three stars by Rivals.
Don’t get too excited, but here’s the list. The three-star recruits have asterisks by their names:
Athlete Issac Blakeney, quarterback Anthony Boone*, receiver Brandon Braxton, linebacker Kelby Brown*, defensive end Jamal Bruce, defensive tackle Will Bryant, offensive tackle Takoby Cofield*, quarterback Brandon Connette*, receiver Braxton Deaver, linebacker Clerance France*, receiver Cooper Helfet, defensive tackle Steven Ingram, defensive end Dezmond Johnson*, defensive end Jordan Ondijo, tight end Nick Sink, athletes Josh Snead* and Quantrez Stevenson, running back Juwan Thompson*, offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson*, and defensive end Jamal Wallace*.
Best of luck, coach Cutcliffe.
