On behalf of Brandon and my family, I can assure you Brandon's decision did not come easy.....He is and always will be a "Blue Devil".
Brandon has called home these last two months to check on his mother more than he has called the previous 4 years at Duke. Speaking of his mom... she is holding her own and is recovering as well as can be expected considering the mountain she is up against. The tumor has had no growth 3 months post surgery as well as no growth in the effected lymph node. Your prayers have been heart felt all the way over here on the left coast. We are continuing a path of natural remedies ie: juicing, natural supplements, and alkaline water and of course our faith that Jesus Christ is with her in this.
Brandon's decision is two fold, first and fore most to be within a few hours drive of being with his mom, second Brandon, true to his competitiveness would like to have his shot at being "the guy" a starting QB.
This may just be the dad in me.... but I believe we haven't seen the ceiling for what Brandon can do as a starting full time QB.
His letter of release has been sent to 3-5 schools on the west coast and his final destination has yet to be determined.
In closing I have always enjoyed the bantering on this board.....even when "the connette package" was at the brunt of it. I like Brandon will always be a Blue Devil and Coach Cut fan and follow them as if BC were still here. My family and I were truly blessed to be part of the Duke football family and program, and yes Duke is both a "program" and "family" and I would not trade the time Brandon has had under Coach Cut for any so called football school in the country.
Go Duke
