Recruit considers Devils
tool name
close xIt's going to be an extremely interesting week for basketball recruiting at Duke.
Kyrie Irving, a point guard who's rated among the top 10 players in the nation, said on his Twitter page that he plans to announce a commitment today on ESPNU. Irving, who attends St. Patrick High in Elizabeth, N.J., said he is choosing from among Texas A&M, Duke and Kentucky.
The time of the announcement wasn't immediately clear.
If Irving commits to Duke, he could generate momentum for the Blue Devils as 6-foot-6 forward Harrison Barnes makes his official visit to campus this weekend. Irving is rated the nation's fifth-best player overall and second-best point guard (behind Brandon Knight of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) by Scout.com
Barnes, who is from Ames, Iowa, is the No. 1 player in the Class of 2010 in Scout.com's rankings.
Football
SEC sanctions officials: The Southeastern Conference has suspended officials from last weekend's Arkansas-Florida game after the crew was involved in its second controversial call of the year.
Referee Marc Curles' crew called a personal foul on Arkansas defensive lineman Malcolm Sheppard in the fourth quarter as the Gators were rallying for a 23-20 victory. The league said there was no video evidence to support the call.
The same group of officials called the LSU-Georgia game earlier this month, which included a late unsportsmanlike conduct penalty the league said shouldn't have been called.
West Virginia player charged: West Virginia's Courtney Stuart has been arrested on charges related to a stolen property case in Arizona.
Bradford not ready to decide: Just when it seemed as if Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford was ready to make a decision about his future, the injured Oklahoma quarterback decided he needed more time to think about it.
Bradford called off a news conference scheduled for Wednesday night. Coach Bob Stoops said Bradford needed to gather more information.
