Despite some coaching turmoil, head football coach Ted Roof and the new staff have put together a solid recruiting class for next year.
At least 23 high school seniors are expected to sign their national letters of intent for the Blue Devils tomorrow, and two more top recruits will decide between Duke and other schools tomorrow.
The two uncommitted recruits are wide receiver Chancellor Young of Seattle, Wash., and defensive tackle Neil Brown of Buford, Ga. Young will make his decision between Duke, Oregon and UCLA, while Brown will choose from Auburn and the Blue Devils.
No matter what they decide, however, Roof's first recruiting season as a head coach appears to have been a success. Before Roof was named interim head coach, the Blue Devils had only three commitments.
14 of the Blue Devils' recruits have reported 40-yard dash times of under 4.5 seconds, highlighted by running back Ronnie Drummer, who ran a jaw-dropping 4.2 40-yard dash at the Florida State football camp last summer.
The Blue Devils landed six offensive linemen, including a pair of the Blue Devils' highest profile recruiting victories. Maryland lineman Cameron Goldberg picked Duke over offers from California and Stanford, and Brooklyn, N.Y. lineman Izzy Bauta snubbed Ohio State and Maryland to play for the Blue Devils.
