That's the latest offer for the St. Sebastian's linebacker.

Based on my conversations with Gallagher I feel like BC is still in the mix. However, like with Koby Quansah, I feel as though Duke really made an impression on him when he visited.

Duke is proving to be quite a recruiting nemesis. Frankly, they're causing problems for a lot of teams. They have a commitment from near five-star receiver Scott Bracey and four-star tight end Mark Birmingham, both of Virginia. Those are the kinds of players that normally headline classes at UVa and UNC. And for BC, the issue is Duke offers a very similar elite academic/private school experience, though in a different part of the country.

Also, here's a weird dynamic. It seems as though Duke is actually benefiting from being awful for many decades. The results on the field for BC and Duke have actually been more similar than different since Addazio took over, but because Duke was Duke for decades, it feels like their current success is even more than it's been.
