Top three landing spots for Caleb Wilson
#1, UNC
Hubert Davis and North Carolina's efforts to construct a competitive team aimed at contending for championships are impossible to overlook. Going to such a storied team would certainly help Caleb Wilson achieve success.
Wilson visited the campus in February.
"I loved their fan base, the school and the atmosphere surrounding sports," Wilson said. "Their message is that I’m ready to play on Day 1 with consistent work and effort and that they need and want me to be a Tar Heel."
Wilson's ball-playing ability and flexibility could benefit UNC in chasing an NCAA championship.
#2, Duke
The Atlanta native has always been a fan of Duke's esteemed history and would be open to joining the Blue Devils.
Duke consistently performs at a top level, and their high-speed style complements Wilson’s playing style. The Blue Devils also focus on developing players, which fits with his long-term potential.
"Very good at developing forwards at a high level. And it’s Duke, of course," Wilson said. "One of the best basketball schools in history. That’s what stands out to me."
#3, Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech made an offer to Caleb Wilson in April 2023. Since the school is in his hometown, there's a strong sense of belonging.
Furthermore, Wilson has upheld a positive connection with Yellow Jackets coach Damon Stoudamire.
"I like Georgia Tech a lot," Wilson said. "Coach Stoudamire is a really cool coach and a really good guy. Also has some NBA tenure, so that is really important to me."
The Yellow Jackets have a good shot at Wilson. They have already recruited top guard Akai Fleming for the 2025 class, and adding another elite player like Wilson would be huge.
