Five-star prospect Wendell Moore lists North Carolina in top 10

Five-star prospect Wendell Moore took to Twitter on Thursday night to announce that he’d narrowed his list of schools to 10.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect from the class of 2019 is quickly becoming one of the most sought after high school basketball players in the country.

He’s been busy of late, attending Late Night with Roy on a visit with the Tar Heels and receiving a scholarship offer from Duke the same night. It was after that offer that Moore announced he’d be expanding his recruitment, though his father said it wasn’t just because of the Blue Devils’ offer.

Wendell Moore Sr. told Tar Heel Illustrated that his son is still considering North Carolina, but wants to “go through the process and see some options”. He also stated that his son is currently interested in taking official visits to Duke, NC State, Stanford and Wake Forest.

And after the release of his top 10, we’ve got a better idea of how Moore’s recruitment is shaping up as we near the start of the 2017-18 college basketball season.

In his newly released top 10, Moore includes Duke, Florida State, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Wake Forest and Washington.

He currently holds scholarship offers from nearly a dozen schools including Duke, Florida, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Syracuse and Tennessee.
