Alex Murphy has committed to Duke and coach Mike Krzyzewski.

He choose the Blue Devils over Florida, Boston College, North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia and Villanova.

"I've had a feeling in my gut for a long time now and when I went down to Duke for my unofficial [visit] last month it just kind of solidified things," Murphy said.

"When I talked to Coach K at the end of that trip I knew that was where I wanted to be. The reason I didn't do it right then and there was that I wanted to come home and talk to my family and the people close to me."

Murphy had always maintained that Duke and Florida -- where his older brother Erik is currently a sophomore -- were the two schools recruiting him the hardest.
