Zion Williamson is headed to Duke. In a news conference at his high school on Saturday, the highest-ranked undecided high school senior revealed that he has verbally committed to the Blue Devils, choosing them over finalists Clemson, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina. The announcement comes after he took official visits to Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky, in addition to unofficial visits to in-state schools South Carolina and Clemson.

Williamson, a five-star forward in the class of 2018, recently returned to the court for Spartanburg Day (S.C.) School after an extended absence because of a foot injury.
