Player Wendell Moore

OMG GUYS WE GOT A RECRUIT

This is a big one, IMO. His skill set appears to be very different from AOC & Baker - hopefully can complement each other well in 2019/20.

Pretty relieved the staff were able to get him to come aboard.

That’s so racist, Toronto

 

[torontoduke]

I shall try to do better next time!

Apparently this dude played with CWell's son.

DUKE IS BACK!

 

[rhfarmer]

Welcome to Duke.

Now, is it Win DELL or WIN dul?

Welcome to Duke.

Now, is it Win DELL or WIN dul?

I thought it was WHEN DELL

 

[rhfarmer]

I legit don't know.

 

[physicsfactor]

Y’all don’t know shit as usual.

#23 recruit will be the jewel of our class.

He's ranked lower than Joey Baker was in this class, to put this in perspective. Everyone on TDD is celebrating like we just vaulted back to the top of the recruiting world.

Classic!

We just need a Wendyll for 2020-21 and we will have rolled a turkey

7' wingspan and can't shoot is my takeaway from his scouting reports.

We know how this story plays out under K.

Found his high school stats. Ft percentage actually encouraging. 3 point not good but hopefully on positive trajectory. Will need him to be in high 30s his senior season.

FT numbers are extremely encouraging. There are a lot of variables with 3pt percentage in high school. He's not getting the rhythm open threes he's going to get at Duke.

If he's more of a guard, he'll play and we don't have anything to worry about. If he's more of a small forward, he'll never play despite having no competition at the position and will eventually transfer.

Should we be concerned that he apparently didn't make varsity in 16-17? Do they have his JV numbers?

I think he's a shooting guard that will play SF, which means he'll play at least 36 mpg.

 

[Pantone287]

Coach K thinks he’s a one-and-done player,” Barbee said. “He thinks he has the ability to be a really great - and those were the words coming out of his mouth - a great pro. I can see that out of Wendell’s game. They want him to come in immediately and be the guy, kind of a similar role to what he has here at Cox Mill High School.

Perfect, a borderline 5-star with questionable shooting who expects to be the man in his one year here.

I wouldn't read too much into that quote. It sounds like K, a man who never lies, had to lie to secure a commitment to save the 2019/2020 season from cancellation.
