UNC commit to alter Duke recruiting

Arguably the Blue Devil’s top target, Wright chose the Tar Heels over Kentucky, Vanderbilt and, of course, Duke. For head coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke coaching staff, it’s back to the drawing board to find an athletic frontcourt player to round out the Blue Devils’ class of 2006. (Duke Chronicle)
