Duke Gets a Pleasant Surprise

Duke 2012 commit and Rhode Island native Alex Murphy will enroll a year early to join Duke's stellar recruit class including Austin Rivers. Murphy was ranked 11th by Rivals and 15th by ESPN in the 2012 class rankings. Many scouts have declared Alex Murphy the second coming of Kyle Singler. With the early departure of Kyrie Irving and graduating seniors Singler and Nolan Smith, Duke will have a solid class to bounce back.

UPDATE: Rumor is Duke is expecting Alex Murphy to redshirt his first year on campus. If this is true him enrolling early will just help him be more physically prepared.
