Kyrie Irving Update

One of Duke’s top targets for the class of 2010 is point guard prospect Kyrie Irving. This weekend, Irving is at the Deron Williams Skills Academy. A Duke Basketball Journal correspondent caught up with Irving, who was nice enough to share a few things about his recruitment.

1) Irving has a very busy travel schedule for the month of July and said that he is unlikely to take any more recruiting visits until August.

2) He is interested in visiting Duke again because he did not have much time to look around the campus when playing at the Tournament of Champions earlier this year. Kyrie is also looking for the opportunity to have a more extended meeting with the coaching staff on a future visit.

3) Kyrie enjoyed his recent visit to Texas A & M and was impressed with the new state of the art gym and practice facilities.

4) The most important factors influencing his decision have not changed. Irving is still looking for a coach that he can develop a strong relationship with and a school that offers academic programs of interest to him. It’s important that he is comfortable with both the basketball and academic environments of the school he chooses.
