I know this isn't really that big of a deal, it's just cool as hell for me to see not only two of the biggest start QB's in the NFL practicing with Cutcliffe at Duke, but they brought along 3 receivers from their teams with them. Again...it's at Duke! I would expect this for big time programs like Alabama, Georgia, Florida, etc...but....Duke? It's a pretty big deal.
It has to help with recruiting that these guys keep coming back to be coached by who they believe is "the best" QB coach...the one who helped them in college become what they did and make it big in the NFL. Thus far, it hasn't helped with recruiting tremendously, I don't think you'll ever really see big time recruits come to Duke, but it has certainly turned some heads. Cutcliffe definitely knows his stuff with regard to QBs. Sean Renfree became a really good quarterback. Thaddeous Lewis became a good QB and is now playing in the NFL (albeit a backup). Anthony Boone is a good double threat QB and I expect big things from him this year.
I am a little giddy over the fact that such huge NFL (FOOTBALL!!) stars are coming to Duke to practice with the players and coaches. Will it make a difference? Maybe not, but I guarantee you every HS QB prospect has taken notice.
