Austin RIvers

Is going to Duke. This is tremendous for me as a crazed Duke fan. This kid is the number one rated prospect, a point guard, and he personifies talent. He is also Doc Rivers' son, and plays for Winter Park high school in Florida.

Rivers committed to Florida initially, but withdrew that commitment almost a year ago. He also entertained North Carolina and Kansas. The choice for Duke comes today, via twitter. Remember, his job is not to be eloquent.

“World i have decided to go to duke! Let’s go blue devils ha’.”

Those are his stats, courtesy of www.maxpreps.com Not too shabby, by any account, especially for a junior. Because stats are small judges of skill, this is what earned him that #1.

He has skills, to pay the bills. He gets buckets like he's trying to bail out a boat. He puts the biscuit, in the basket. He's Austin Rivers, headed to Duke, where he will be one of the best individual talents the school has ever seen.
