Update, Sunday at 11:35 p.m.: Per tweets on Theo Pinson's twitter account @tpinsonn, the reports stating he is no longer considering Duke are inaccurate.
Spoke with 2014 wing Theo Pinson @tpinsonn tonight. He said, contrary to published reports, he has not cut Duke from his school list.

The previous report...
Cross off Theo Pinson as one of Duke basketball's class of 2014 targets.
Pinson, the No. 13 recruit in the class of 2014 according to ESPN, no longer lists the Blue Devils as one of his potential options, according to 247Sports. The 6-foot-6 wing now lists Indiana, North Carolina, N.C. State, Maryland, Louisville, Georgetown and Kentucky as programs he is considering.
Pinson attends the Wesleyan Christian Academy in North Carolina and has visited Duke unofficially many times throughout his high school career. Pinson and high school teammate Harry Giles, a member of the class of 2016 and perhaps the top player in his year, were at Cameron Indoor Stadium for this year's Duke-North Carolina game, a 73-68 comeback win for the Blue Devils. Giles is also a Duke target, though he is a freshman and does not yet hold an official offer. The Duke staff, however, has been keeping close tabs on the 6-foot-8 forward.
In late April, Grayson Allen became the Blue Devils' first commit in the class of 2014.
With Pinson reportedly out and Allen already on board, Duke has six outstanding offers for the class of 2014: Jones, Okafor, Devin Booker, Kevin Looney, Trey Lyles and Justise Winslow.
