in 2005, Duke's only win was against Virginia Military Institute.  Say what you will about 59th being not that bad, but if you're rubbing elbows with Duke University in football, you cant help to be concerned.  If Coach Krzyzewski is freelancing as a football recruiter, we can get Coach Robert to take over the duties of CJL

Thank you for illustrating the nonsensical aspect of this whole ranking process once you get out of the Top 10 or so ....

Cee,

Feel free to place bets on game outcomes based on the ranking differential of their recruiting class.

5 of their 8 3-star recruits are from Florida.........not keeping this in-state talent will destroy us

exactly...people are getting so carried away about these recruiting rankings.  look at our class from 02...look at the guys who got 2 stars and now are major players on our team and even won big east players of the week a few times.

CJL filled the needs we needed defensive line and offensive line. Who cares about Duke. The only need I feel he didnt get is qb. But with Hill starting the next couple of years mayb we might land a better prospect in the next 2 years. Rankings dont mean crap! Its the coaching, the system, and the talent seen in the coaches eyes. FSU has had top classes in years past where did that get thme last year? 8-5

recruiting at the low levels means very little...short term.

If you can get yourself some 4 and 5 stars -- cheers.

but the dif between 40 and 70 is not even measureable.  USF will be really good next year.

Too bad we got WV and UL on the road.

Actually, I think the difference is 30 genius.

I'm not worried about the 'stars' next to the names. So much talent in FL, no way to accurately rank all the recruits.

How about Tennessee?

When are they going to remove Fulmer's name from the street named after him?

Rankings are for the media. Let's play ball!!

Say what you want about Duke, but Ted Roof is a Great Recruiter.  Virginia always has good classes and they are rated right there with USF too.  Give this class some time to see what happens.  The real barometer of a good class is the final records in 3-4 years.
