Yeah at least 2. We probably are going to get a few more transfers out in the following week or two. Let see what positions they are. Still had 5 open spots so now up to 6 available

so Graham Gotlieb a kicker from Penn has announced he is coming to Duke next year to play. i know nothing and he is not listed on the Penn transfer portal list so beats me. this being said, we did have charlie ham enter the portal so we are down a kicker.
In looking at what film there is available on this kicker, he looks to be pretty accurate, not a huge leg, and like Todd our current kicker, looks to be about 14 years old .
FYI he is a non scholly kid so does not count against us. He is however an experienced walk-on that will give our kicker some competition and make him better
Always need another kicker just in case. And if he doubles his weight, he can play O line!
spring practice starts friday!!!!!
So Clemson has now filed suit against the ACC. I can't see how this suit gets any traction. Clemson is claiming that the departure penalties are not related to the loss that the ACC would suffer (that is the most common basis for trying to set aside a liquidated damages clause in my experience). Are they kidding? The ACC will suffer tremendous financial loss from Clemson leaving. I mean, look at the exposure Duke got when we beat them in football and stormed the field! It was on Sportscenter all week!
HUGE win by the Duke women's bball team today. Went into Ohio and beat the #2 seed Ohio State women on their home floor after being down by 16 in the first half. Sweet Sixteen for the girls.
BOOM 4th commit for 25
Sampson Onuoha
6'3'' 240 lb DE
duke, rutgers, minnesota, pitt, rutgers, syracuse, usf and wake for P4
8 more midlevel including many ivy league schools
rated an 88 on 247. 5.5 here but you know they never regrade duke players so thats where they will keep him

Nice size coming into college. Feeley will get him up to 260 before you know it.
BOOM another 25 commitment
Julius Columbus 6'2'' 285lb DT
only 2 P5 offers from duke and ucf
20 total offers
basically every mid major that went to a bowl
liberty, troy, app st, ecu, yale, cornell and just many more.
i think this is the kind of guy you get and develop over time. Go to max preps and his stats are nuts. Plays in a good Georgia division and had 21 sacks last year from the NT position. This kid could really blow up now that people will start looking at him. Great find by the staff

No loss for Duke. Could not be depended upon when needed. Glad he found another spot. OFC

Kind of a harsh take but that's being a college athlete. He was great for us on kickoffs last year and that is what Georgia will use him for. He is from there and so good home coming for him. Hopefully one of our kickers develops a stronger leg and can do the kickoffs.

Todd Pulino's distance was increasing and will continue doing so. Now they have another kid coming in who is looks to be similar to Todd--looks 14 yrs old and hopefully will get stronger as he matures.
Yes surf, Charlie consistently put ball in end zone, keeping returns from being worrisome. Problem (as DI was referencing I am sure), was inconsistency on FGs.

Thankful Eli is back. He's already making dazzling plays in spring ball:

Correct, Hart. Maybe "no loss" was a bit harsh. How about "not a major loss"? OFC
BOOM another one in house
Asher Wasserman 6'2'' 220 lb LB
plays at hamden hall in conn
last year as a junior had
96 tackles
26 tfl
10 sacks in 10 games
evidently a straight forward shoot the gap kid.
with that size and weight, I think this is another under the radar big time pick up

so OL jake long who transferred in last year has declared for the portal again. was no factor at all last year
Really disappointed that he didn't pan out.
BOOM first offensive player
Dan Mahan 6'2'' 180lb QB
from burlingto nc
3 stars from rivals and 247
offers from duke, wake, bc, appy, uncc, liberty, coastal, jmu and miami oh.

His official Rivals posting says 6’1’’ and 170 lbs, but hopefully he has grown since that was listed, and he still has some growth left.
Yeah that was his 247 height and weight so let's hope they are more accurate. Rivals measures at a camp and then never change. If you look at his high school tape not the strongest arm but lightning quick runner. If he doesn't pan out as a QB he might end up at the wr spot.
Duke has a pretty good recent history of switching QB's to WR.
so look for things to get busy soon. portal is opening so look for some players to leave and 5-10 kids to hopefully come in. we really need several oline guys especially tackles
Thanks Conor! Always nice to get a report from spring practice.
It's quite jarring to watch a practice and see the second-team offense playing without an OL.
Have several other stories to get to from Saturday and I'm headed back out there tomorrow morning.
Some of them will be free like the one this morning; others will be paywalled, as I continue to search for the balance of that.
So first out. S DaQuan Johnson has entered the portal. Solid freshman year with 61 tackles but kinda disappeared last year and evidently did not get back into the rotation this spring. I wish him well
I like that strategy of putting individuals “under pressure” - it has to pay off when the real games begin.
I have to believe that Henry was on the outside looking in even before Spring practice - still being less than fully-healed has to have made it extraordinarily unlikely he’s really in the mix to start. But I could live with him as our 3rd string. Query whether he could.
