How has Dukes' season been going? He doesn't seem to put up big numbers. Is his team run focused?

We definitely need 1 more solid WR for this class…if anyone thinks we are in good shape with only Dukes and York, well we are not.

Right. Both of those guys are what I would call projects. There's upside, but they are not lighting things up in high school. Definitely need to add a third guy to mitigate risk. Ideally they would take a third player who is of a more proven/polished commodity. There will be PT available in 2013 if one of these guys is good enough.

Dukes is fine, he doesn't get many opportunities at all because his team runs the ball all the time. QB is hurt also so that's really hurting his numbers and on top of that when his QB wasn't hurt he was still only getting about 3 targets a game I'm double and triple coverage. I'm surprised he catches it at all.
