Five-star recruit postpones visit to UNC basketball

Five-star forward Caleb Wilson had to postpone his visit to the UNC basketball program.

This past weekend was an eventful one on the campus of the University of North Carolina.

The football team kicked off the weekend with a big win over rival Duke on Saturday night, doing it in thrilling fashion. Then hours later, the basketball team moved to 2-0 on the year with a win over Lehigh.

For Hubert Davis and his program, they also hosted a big-time recruiting target in five-star Koa Peat. But he wasn’t the only one that was supposed to be there for his official. Along with Peat, five-star forward Caleb Wilson was also supposed to be in attendance. But he and his family had to cancel the visit to give him a chance to recharge and reset for his junior season.

Here is what Caleb’s father Jerry told Adam Zagoria of Zag’s Blog:

“As for UNC I had to cancel the UNC visit to give Caleb a chance to rest and recharge,” his dad said. “It’s time to start the season for us, so we’re locked in on the process. He had a scrimmage last week and played well with 34 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists.”

Wilson is a top prospect that is gaining a lot of interest from several big time programs. He did take a trip to Georgia Tech recently and will visit Duke as well.

As for a visit to UNC, it’s possible he reschedules the visit for later on in the year or in 2024.
