Kyle Edward Singler (b. May 4, 1988 in Medford, Oregon, United States),[1] is a college basketball player for the Duke Blue Devils.
High school career
Singler attended South Medford High School and was ranked as one of the top 5 college recruits in the nation from the class of 2007.[2]
In 2007, Singler led South Medford to its first-ever state basketball championship, winning 58-54 over defending champion Lake Oswego and national standout Kevin Love.[3] A year earlier, Love and Lake Oswego had defeated Singler and South Medford for the state championship.
Singler was a member of the Legends AAU team, and participated in many prestigious all-American camps including the Nike All-American Camp (Indianapolis), the Nike Peach Jam (Augusta), and the Main Event (Las Vegas). Singler was also named to the 2006 U18 USA Junior National team, alongside fellow top prospects Michael Beasley, Jerryd Bayless, and 2006 star recruit Spencer Hawes.
In October 2006, he signed a letter of intent to play college basketball at Duke.[4]
College
As a freshman, Singler finished the 2007-2008 season with averages of 13.3 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game helping lead Duke to a 28-6 record. [5] After Duke lost to West Virginia in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, Singler put to rest any speculation that he may enter the 2008 NBA Draft saying "I didn’t give the NBA any thought, I know I’m not ready. I need to mature both physically and mentally. I want to get stronger and quicker, and I want to work on learning how to play the game. I’m at a great place for that.”[6]
Personal
Singler's parents were both athletes at Oregon State University: his father, Ed Singler, was quarterback of the football team and his mother, Kris Brosterhous, was on the basketball team. Four of Singler's uncles played Division I football or basketball.[1]
