St. Patrick’s point guard Kyrie Irving made the trip from New Jersey for a pair of Saturday games in the adidas May Classic.

After a meeting with Indiana Elite and IU commit Matt Carlino at Assembly Hall, Irving fielded questions from the media.

On what he saw during his unofficial visit to Indiana on Friday:

“I’m going to major in journalism. I heard they have one of the best journalism schools in the country. So they showed me around there.”

On how Coach Crean is trying to sell him on Indiana:

“Just to make an impact right away, come in and bring them to the Final Four and be the point guard that he needs.”

On whether or not his family came on the visit:

“No, not at all.”

On the influence his father has on his recruitment:

“He’s my adviser right now. He takes care of all the recruiting calls. He takes care of all of that. I just go out and play.”

The primary target of Indiana’s 2010 recruiting efforts was in Bloomington this weekend for the adidas May Classic.

And before his New Jersey Roadrunners team played two afternoon games on Saturday, he got a chance to visit with the Indiana coaches on Friday and tour the campus.

“I was with the coaches and I just looked around,” Irving said. “I’m going to major in journalism. I heard they have one of the best journalism schools in the country, so they showed me around there.”

Irving is in no rush to make a decision and is still considering a large list of schools, but he likes what he’s been able to see of Bloomington and the Indiana program.

“The fan support here is great,” he said. “I can see how they get 17,000 even though they didn’t have a good season. The fan support was still tremendous.”
