Already involved heavily with one of the top point guards in the country - Kyrie Irving - the Indiana University basketball staff is now in the mix with another.

Maeshon Witherspoon, the mother of top guard Josh Selby, said Indiana has made contact with her and will have an in-home visit with her son next Tuesday.

Selby still has in-home visits from Miami (Fla.), Syracuse and a second with Kentucky, now adding the Hoosiers to the long list.

"Indiana is new," Witherspoon said. "It was last night. But what I told everybody is that it was going to be hard to make a decision because we were not going to exclude any schools.

"I could never do a list because we didn't want to count anybody out. Coach (Roshwon) McLeod was the point man and I have also talked to coach (Tom) Crean."

Witherspoon said the coaches didn't talk about Irving or the late inquiry about Selby only sayin they "apologized" for not getting involved sooner. Irving has long been an IU target but the Hoosiers are battling Duke and Kentucky and Texas A&M are also involved for Irving.

"Coach McLeod and I had a real good conversation and then coach Crean and I had another good conversation. They said they wanted to come in and do an in-home and we're fine with it."

UK was in the home earlier in the week but coach John Calpari didn't make it, so Witherspoon said the Wildcats wanted another visit. UK will make it's second visit next Thursday. Witherspoon said assistants Rod Strickland and Orlando Antigua made the first visit.

A former Tennessee commitment, Selby is ranked No. 4 nationally in the Class of 2010 by Rivals.com and No. 10 by Scout.com.

Witherspoon said the in-home visits have been "going great." Selby is expected to narrow his list down after the in-homes are finished.

"It's been good," she said. "I was not expecting everybody to come as well and prepared as they have. They have all come with a game plan. It's been good."
