As a four-star closing in on a fifth star — and considering Duke basketball’s dire need to add post pieces to its 2020 class — IMG Academy (Fla.) center Mark Williams is one of the Blue Devils’ most important targets.
Fortunately for Mike Krzyzewski and his staff, following some recent tweaking by Williams to what was a list of seven finalists, the Blue Devils are not only still in contention, but they are also overwhelming favorites. According to a tweet on Wednesday from ESPN’s Paul Biancardi, the 7-foot-1, 225-pound Virginia native’s father, Alex, said his son is now only considering five schools: Duke, UCLA, Ohio State, Michigan, and Stanford.
