On my way to "fill in the blank" for an unofficial visit...hope it's ready for me to step on campus jk let's get it
about 22 hours ago from mobile web

Can someone fill in the blank for me?

Barnes was on Duke's campus this weekend, no? With all the alum around the practice facility, it would be a good weekend for an unofficial visit for recruits. Any word on who was there?

Hurley went to St. Anthony's. Irving visited UConn unofficially over the weekend.

The rivals link is subscription, but at least has a semi-encouraging headline.

Kyrie Irving might be my favorite 2010 PG we are pursuing. He seems like a smart guy with a good head on his shoulders, and from what I read/see his style of play would be the perfect sparkplug and change of pace from Tyler Thornton. Sort of like having Jason Williams to run the show along with Sean Dockery to come in and settle things down when necessary.

If somehow we could land both Kyrie and Harrison to go along with Andre, I would have to think that would be one of the best PG/SG/SF tandems we (or anyone, for that matter) have ever landed in a recruiting class.

I don't like the sound of that article at all. I had a pretty solid feeling about Irving before now but that article sounds very discouraging as it relates to Duke's chances. I know that recruiting articles can be misleading and that recruits change their minds frequently but ouch!

He was never a duke lean, just a player who has definite interest. He's definitely still interested in duke, just several programs are in the running for him.

Indiana is the school that scares me the most when it comes to Irving.

Article on Kyrie and it appears we are following him quite closely - as well as BK and HB...

Glad to hear some good news in his recruitment. Lets hope Indiana stops pushing so hard.

I would be so angry if Calipari somehow landed him. With Eric Bledsoe there and all but secured as the guy to replace John Wall (assuming he is a 1 and done) I wouldn't understand Irving going there. Then again, Nolan Smith will be a senior for us. I don't know...I just want a PG!

Dick Weiss observed Kyrie Irving in Orlando and was impressed:

His godfather is an assistant coach at Kentucky.

'Kyrie eleison' is the only Greek that survived to the Latin mass, meaning 'Lord, have mercy on us.'

I wonder if Kyrie's Grandpa was an altar boy.

Irving for 37 vs Team Final. The NJ Celtics beat the two best AAU teams this season back to back.

Coach K and company are watching Irving as I type.

At 5:30 in the morning Vegas time? I'd rather you be watching Irving!

Wow, that's really impressive. Anyone know how he and his team did yesterday? The more I read about Kyrie, the more I want him to come to Duke... the same goes for Harrison Barnes.
