Tom Crean says he is a bit behind in 2010 recruiting. If he gets five-star "dynamic" point guard Kyrie Irving, all will be forgotten.

Irving, a 6-foot-1 high school junior at St. Patrick (N.J.), recently told East Coast recruiting blogger Adam Zagoria that the Hoosiers are a favorite of his.

"They're at the top of my list for now," Irving said in a phone interview with Zagoria. "It's them and Notre Dame and Duke and Virginia. They're at the top of my list right now."

All signs have indicated IU might be in the lead, especially after his trip to Bloomington for an AAU event. Now there need be no speculation on where Crean's Hoosiers sit in Irving's recruitment.
