Thanks for the list kaygee.

After Douglas, I see two more on that list committing. One will probably happen sooner rather than later.

Mullins has verballed to S. Illinois...I am betting UWM will step up their efforts for J.R. Blount now.

Indy prep standout Duncan becomes basketball Govs final signee
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sp-05 BK/bk 5/12/201
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Kyle Duncan, a 6-5 guard-forward from Ben Davis High School in
Indianapolis, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Austin Peay State University.
Duncan, who was listed as one of the state’s top 40 seniors by High Potential Recruiting and Top
100 by Hoosier Basketball Magazine, averaged 15 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior for
the Giants. The first-team All-Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference pick also averaged 2.5 steals for
Scott White. Duncan was honorable mention All-Marion County.
“We really like Kyle’s approach,” APSU coach Dave Loos said. “I am really impressed with his
game, his on-court demeanor, his athleticism.
“He is just a terrific defender–he loves to play defense and takes great pride in it. He is a guy who
can guard the one, two, or three, but if you look at some of the other people he has guarded–(7-0) Greg
Oden (USA Today’s National Player of the Year) and (6-10) Josh McRoberts (Duke), he can guard just
about any position. But as good a defender as he is, he also is a guy who can score. He is just a really
good fit for us.”
Duncan currently is playing for an Indiana Select AAU All-Star team. Earlier this spring, he played
for the county team in the Jermaine O’Neal Super Shootout, featuring the premier city/county players from
Indianapolis and Marion County. Ben Davis High School recently was named by Sports Illustrated as one
of the nation’s Top 25 prep athletics programs in the nation.
“He was being recruited by good people, like Eastern Michigan, Butler, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and
Coastal Carolina,” Loos said. “I think he liked what he saw here–he liked the facilities we have here. He
also liked the sucess we have achieved and wants to be a part of it.
“We were really impressed with him as a person–the way he meets people. He is a very
personable, likeable individual. I have to give most of the credit to (assistant) Scott (Combs) and the work
he did in making this come together.”
Duncan’s signing completes APSU recruiting class for 2005-06. He joins local product Drake
Reed, a 6-5 forward from Clarksville Northeast; Landon Shipley, a 6-1 guard from Lafayette High School
in St. Louis, and J.P. Felder, a 6-7, 225-pound post player from Campbell High School in Smyrna, Ga.
“This is a good recruiting class,” Loos said. “Although we signed four high schools kids, we have
signed kids who not only will help us in the future but could help us immediately.”
