Duke
He's going to exceed expectations this year. He's worked hard. You can see that clearly. Guys that work hard like that come into the season with a tremendous amount of confidence in their bodies. He's hungry.
He's the second best player I have ever seen at the high school level (second to SeanT). He's a great kid. Everything you hear about him is true. It makes sense: his mom is a very sweet lady, she bought me a meal when I went to go scout Norland one night. lol. He was a great teammate at Norland. He's been the same here at Miami.
He put Norland on his back every year since he was a sophomore. His teams advanced further every year, ending in a state championship victory during his senior year. He's going to do the same here. He put the team on his back as a freshman; he did the same as a sophomore, and he'll do it again this year.
As for his game, Duke is a football player. He would be a pro bowl DB, Slot, Safety, whatever. He'll succeed at whatever you task him with. As a running back, I like to see duke as a smaller, faster, Melvin Bratton. Like Bratton, he's an all purpose back with incredible moves, and great hands. But what separates Duke from Mel, is that he has outstanding vision. Vision like Frank Gore. Above all that, he's tough. That kid will die for the
:end rant:
