This story was reported this morning by WRAL. This young guy is tall, fast and quite a jumper. Considering the growth that many experience in high school and college, his potential is great. Coach Cutcliffe can identify talent early!

Duke adds Blakeny to recruiting haul
The last Blakeny Duke had worked out pretty well, and this one is taller! He's not touted by tons of scouts, but Cutcliffe knows what he's looking for, and this guy sounds like a very athletic reciever.

Coach Cut looks so handsome in his shirt, tie, and sweater vest. 
I worship the Blue Devil!

Re: Newest football recruit from NC
I'd love to get someone that size to play cornerback. I love Leon Wright, but when he's gone, it'd be great to have some taller guys. I think both our starters are 5'11".

Re: Newest football recruit from NC
Our CB recruit for this year is only 6'. I'd rather have taller CB's than QB's...that being said, Leon proved short guys can pick 'em too. But short guys are at a disadvantage on well thrown long passes when both reciever and CB are fighting for it.DukeUsul wrote:I'd love to get someone that size to play cornerback.
