Singler Getting Back on Track?

My last entry was entitled "Kyle Singler, Where are You?"  He may have answered that call against Wake Forest last Sunday.

Kyle posted a double-double, with 21 points and 15 rebounds.  He was lackluster in the first half, but surged back in the 2nd and was instrumental in the 20 point thumping of Wake Forest.  Sure, he did miss a lot of shots that the Plumlees cleaned up, but still, he had arguably his best game of the season, and it looks like he may be getting back on track.

Duke certainly needs him if they hope to win the ACC and go deep in the tournament.  He is a great player, and he could be critical near the end of the season.

I sure hope he's getting back on track, and it looks like he is.

Other News

Duke vs. Clemson this Saturday will be the College Gameday live broadcast on ESPN.  Duke looks to get a win at one of the hardest arenas in college basketball, Littlejohn Coliseum.  As you probably know, Duke has already beat the Tigers this year by 21 points, but this game looks like it will be much closer than the game at Duke in early January.

Terrence Ross and Duke Recruiting

--Well, we've found someone who could be the most hated person by the Maryland basketball fanbase.
--I'm talking about Terrence Ross, a nationally known recruit who was committed to playing at Maryland next year.  Note the keyword there "was".  Ross recently de-committed from the Terrapins in favor to open his recruiting back up to the open market.  Maryland is still an option for Terrence Ross, who is ranked 39th in the ESPN Top100.
--However, it will be quite tough to lure Ross back to Maryland.  His current options are Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and Maryland.  To be honest, who would choose Maryland out of that list? (I know I wouldn't).
--Rumors have been flying everywhere.  Some of the more popular ones have been that Coach K is a dirty rotten recruit stealer, or that Nike is behind his move away from an UnderArmour school.  No one knows what's actually true, but the situation is very intriguing.
--Duke has been reported as very high on his list, and why wouldn't it be?  Undoubtedly though, if Ross were to come to Duke, he would be the most hated player in the history ofMaryland basketball.
--Terrence Ross would solidify an already spectacular 2010 recruiting class from the Blue Devils, including Kyrie Irving and Joshua Hairston.  Roscoe Smith is also considering Duke, but there are no new developments on his recruiting trail.
--That's all for now from the Duke basketball update.  Please read my other blog, Clay and Clay Sports Blog, which is about all things sports.--I am using bullet points to separate paragraphs.  There is a technical difficulty for cbssports.com.  I am not allowed to space paragraphs.
