You might know some of the names; maybe all of them.
But you need to check out this list of Duke's official visitors this weekend to dive into the details:
“I’m very committed to this place. Everybody knows I’m very happy at this place. We’re doing a lot of special things at this place. My family is very happy here. We love Duke.”
Word from Mike Elko on his involvement with rumors of his departure:
🔗duke.rivals.com/news/mike-elko…
Rece Davis (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sidelines) will call Notre Dame-Duke on ABC.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Gunnar Holmberg became the 5th QB in the last 15 years with 300-plus yards passing and 4 rushing TDs against a P-5 team.
Others were:
Tim Tebow
Collin Klein (Kansas State)
Lamar Jackson
Nick Fitzgerald (Miss. State)
Duke is in the receiving votes category of both the AP Top 25 and coaches poll:
16 points in the AP poll, 5th among others receiving votes.
24 points in the coaches poll, 7th among others receiving votes.
Duke's fourth-year DT DeWayne Carter, also a captain, is not one of the 32 players going through the Senior Day ceremony on Saturday.
Said he hasn't made up his mind completely on returning for the Blue Devils next season.
Duke's average football recruiting class ranking for the last 15 years:
57.6
Duke's current class ranking:
22nd
You can debate the likelihood that the class is still Top 25 come December, but the work that's been done so far doesn't leave much to be debated.
"I'm very committed to this place. ... We love Duke." - Elko on job openings and chatter
"When you're doing your job well, everybody thinks you're leaving. When you're doing it poorly, everybody thinks you're leaving."
A PFF nugget:
DeWayne Carter leads ACC players with 31 QB pressures - 4 sacks, 2 hits, 25 hurries. His (questionable) roughing-the-passer penalty last night was his penalty of the season.
He doesn't get same recognition as other DTs in the ACC but he's very much on their level.
