Highly touted basketball recruit Kyrie Irving isn’t coming to Virginia (he narrowed his list to Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Seton Hall and Connecticut). Still, he liked Coach Bennett. Irving had this to say in a recent interview with High School Hoop (Dime Magazine):

High School Hoop: Throughout the process what coach had the best personality?

Irving: Probably, Coach [Tony] Bennett at Virginia. I think it’s because he’s young, but he’s got a really good personality.
