About 20 seconds in it shows his crossover in slomo. I do believe he'll do just fine in Coach K's system.

When I first saw it I figured it was a scrimmage. Then I saw the numbers were different colors. Couldn't have been an easy game to play.

His opponent must have ended up with SERIOUS ankle injuries. Sick.

This young man can really run the point guard position, I am looking foward to seeing him play next season in Durham.

[Very Duke Blue]

After winning the NCAA championship last month in Indianapolis, you wouldn’t think Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski would want to change too much.

But Coach K says the addition of a single player to the 2010-11 version of the Blue Devils will transform the team’s entire offense.

“We’ll change our whole offense, the way we play because of Kyrie,” Krzyzewski said Wednesday at the New York Athletic Club, referring to incoming freshman point guard Kyrie Irving of Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick High School.

“Just like we did when we had Jason Williams and he’ll make a big impact right away. He’s going to be very, very good.”

“Irving could make them [Duke] back-to-back champions, he’s that good.”

“[Irving] is not as explosive as John Wall, and nobody is, but I’ll tell you one thing,” Garfinkel said. “There’s no way any team he’s ever on, from now until he retires from the game, will shoot 0 for 20 from 3.”

While last season was an absolute joy to watch and remember, it's hard to not get excited about the upcoming season when reading stuff like this, even if it is almost 5 months away....

While I am still enjoying this year immensely, I do have this kinda feeling about next year, too.

Duke recruit Kyrie Irving will join The Insiders tomorrow morning at 8:10 on 620 The Buzz.

They'll probably have the audio later on WRAL, that's where I got the above info from.

His radio interview is online now. Link is at the bottom after my thoughts.

Check out Kyrie's guest blog on Fox Sports.

I chose Duke mostly because of my relationship with Coach K. Kentucky was definitely an option because my family is very close to assistant coach Rod Strickland, and I was also looking at Texas A&M because my dad played with one of their assistants, Scott Spinelli. But it came down to Coach K. I just trusted him and wanted to play for him.

In a way, I hope that Kyrie is a one-and-doner. After all, he did say that he was gonna play at Duke until they won a championship. ;) Of course, if he wins one his freshman year, he might wanna go for two!

"Kyrie will be very, very good right away," Krzyzewski said. "There's absolutely no question about that. He's that good a basketball player."

Ran across another video of Kyrie. It's going to be fun to watch him play in Cameron
