UNC commit to alter Duke recruiting
Posted Oct 18, 2005
For many Duke fans, the gloating from the Tar Heel faithful went from oppressive to unbearable when power forward Brandan Wright, one of the nation’s top five prospects, shocked the recruiting world and joined the Tar Heels’ already impressive class. 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.
