Wendell Moore, the 6-foot-5 forward from Cox Mill (NC), says the five schools working the hardest for him are Kansas, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Duke, and UNC, he told Pat Lawless.
He broke down each school for MadeHoops:
South Carolina: “I hear from them a lot, probably three or four times a week I hear from them. We just talk a lot, and hopefully, I get on campus soon.”
Kansas: “They are just a great program, Bill Self does a great job with those kids. I mean they just have a great program down there.”
Duke: “Duke’s always going to be a good team, Coach K is one of the greatest coaches of all time. They have a great team this year with Marvin [Bagley], Wendell [Carter], Trevon [Duval] and all of them.”
Wake Forest: “I probably talk with them more than anybody, they talk to me every single day. Coach [Steve] Woodberry and Coach [Danny] Manning text and call me every single day. I’ve been on campus already for two games I want to say. They are just trying to turn that program around, and I think they are doing a great job with that.”
North Carolina: “There a good program too, I keep in contact with them a lot, and hopefully I get to a game soon.”
Moore previously cut his list to 10 in October: Wake Forest, Duke, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio State, Florida State, Washington and NC State.
One of Moore’s high school teammates, Rechon Black, is a 2018 UNC commit and has been on him about joining him in Chapel Hill.
“Yeah every day, we talk a lot but it’s not so much that he is recruiting me,” Moore told MadeHoops. “He says little things like UNC this and that. It’s all fun.”
Since September, Moore has taken unofficial visits to UNC (Sept. 9), Duke (Oct. 27), South Carolina (Oct. 28), Wake Forest (Nov. 3), and New Mexico (Nov. 4).
Moore also said he wants to make a decision by the end of the year but doesn’t seem to be in a rush.
According to 247Sports, Moore is the No. 25 player in the 2019 class and the No. 7 prospect at his position.
