Duke Basketball: Why five-star forward Wendell Moore will soon pick Duke

Zion Williamson, Harry Giles, and Brandon Ingram provide the most recent proof of the Duke basketball program’s dominance at landing the top recruiting targets from the Carolinas.

Five-star small forward Wendell Moore will soon supply the next piece of evidence.

Sure, it’s true that the 6-foot-6, 215-pound playmaker from the class of 2019, who lives just outside Charlotte and attends Cox Mill High School, has yet to announce anything other than the final five schools on his list: Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and Wake Forest.

However, the inclusion of four of those programs indicates that Moore is a mature, friendly North Carolinian who is just being nice to those coaches in the Carolinas who recruited him the hardest.
