In news that shouldn’t be considered shocking to anyone, Mac Irvin Fire coach Mike Irvin says he thinks Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor will both end up at Duke.

“In my mind, Duke has a really good chance,” Irvin told the Chicago Sun-Times. “Coach K has done a really great job recruiting him [Okafor].”

He added: “I believe there is a great chance that Tyus will go to Duke. If so, Jahlil and Tyus will probably be going to school together.”

Jones and Okafor have repeatedly said they will attend college together, with Duke long considered the frontrunner.

“It was just an intense game,” Kasongo told SNY.tv of the game in Las Vegas from his home in Toronto. “The atmosphere was great. There was a lot of people. There was a lot of college coaches. I just felt like I had to show everyone I that I can compete against anyone and against the best.”

“He is a player who is very good but not a finished product,” Clayton coach Denny Medlin told SNY.tv. “Nobody knows what his ceiling is but he’s going to keep getting better, and he’s already very good.”
