Duke Football has a new recruit.  The new Coaching Staff has already made their presence felt and continue to hit the road in an effort to turn up a gem or two.

I'm sure you know by now that Duke prospect Erik Murphy chose Florida last night.  Further details are in BDN Premium.  For those of you wanting to jump off the ship, go ahead!  History has shown that the Captain always survives.

Here is David Glenn of the Spots Journal, chiming in on the upside of Duke having depth.  The latest Sports Journal or Poop Sheet hit newsstands today.  The Poop covers recruiting and behind the scenes activities around the ACC.

Don't miss this article by my pal Al Featherston at the DBR.  I have been awaiting his take on why Duke fans shouldn't be freaking out over UNC's recent recruiting success and much more.  Check it out.

Jim Sumner wants to add his two cents too.  So, the DBR has two articles on the issue.

Speaking of recruiting, Jon Hood says he likes Duke a lot in this article.  This prospect came from nowhere during last summers AAU circuit and has become a hot commodity.

Lastly, Duke is reporting record numbers of applications -- a significant increase from last year.
