Addition of recruits Barnes, Irving could help Duke turn corner
Posted Oct 2, 2009
There was speculation that it would happen early this week. But it didn't. And now it seems Duke might have to wait until after Kyrie Irving attends Kentucky's Big Blue Madness to find out whether it will land the elite point guard from New Jersey. Still, Duke should get him. That's the word. And if Mike Krzyzewski also lands Harrison Barnes -- Duke is widely considered the leader for Barnes, too -- then we won't be talking about the Blue Devils' Final Four drought much longer.
