Five-star prospect’s visit to UNC basketball will be an official one

UNC basketball recruiting target Caleb Wilson will take an official visit to the Tar Heels in Feburary.

North Carolina continues to navigate the 2023-24 Atlantic Coast Conference basketball season, starting off 4-0 with another road win on Wednesday night in Raleigh. But as Hubert Davis and his team march on this season, they are still looking to build the roster for the future.

In February, the Tar Heels will get a visit from a big prospect in the 2025 class as five-star power forward Caleb Wilson will be on campus. Wilson will visit North Carolina on Feb.3 for the Duke game, which was previously announced. However, he confirmed that it will now be an official visit for him.

Per Joe Tipton of On3, Wilson’s visit is set to be an official one on Feb. 3:

The 6-foot-9, power forward out of Atlanta is one of the top players in the 2025 class and is a high-priority recruit for the Tar Heels in the recruiting cycle.

Wilson will also be at the North Carolina and Georgia Tech game in Atlanta at the end of January, meaning he will see the Tar Heels in action twice in a week.

Five-star 2025 recruit plans to reschedule visit to UNC

A big five-star recruiting target says he plans on rescheduling his visit to the UNC basketball program.

One of the top prospects on North Carolina’s 2025 recruiting board is five-star power forward Caleb Wilson. The Atlanta native is one of the best prospects overall and is gaining interest from several big programs across the country.

With 23 offers, Wilson’s recruitment is starting to pick up a bit as he’s already taken some visits.

Wilson was set to be on UNC’s campus earlier in November but canceled last minute due to wanting a free weekend to relax before his high school season begins. But that doesn’t mean Wilson won’t be on campus at some point.

Talking to Travis Branham of 247Sports, Wilson revealed that he will reschedule the visit and get to campus:

Early this month, Wilson was planning a unofficial visit to see the North Carolina Tar Heels but decided not to take the visit in order to prepare for the high school season.

However, he plans to reschedule and shared his thoughts on the prestigious program.

“They’re a blue blood,” he said of the Tar Heels. “I like seeing what those guys have to offer. I definitely love Carolina, Michael Jordan went there and a rich basketball culture is something that I want in a school.”

North Carolina won’t be the only program he will visit during the rest of his recruitment. He also plans on visiting rival Duke as well as Baylor and Cincinnati.

Wilson is doing all his homework throughout his recruitment and has more schools than just North Carolina that he plans to visit.

“I will take visits to schools, not soon. I will definitely take one to Baylor, Duke and UNC, probably Cincinnati also,” he said.”

Wilson’s recruitment will be one to watch over the next year, especially with visits on tap.

Broncos trying out 7 players at voluntary minicamp

Among the players trying out for the Broncos this week: CB Bless Austin, who has started 17 games in three seasons.

The Denver Broncos kicked off their voluntary minicamp on Monday with new jersey numbers — and some new faces.

The Broncos invited seven players to camp this week on a tryout basis, according to Ryan O’Halloran of The Denver Post. Here’s a quick glance at the players:

  • WR Keelan Doss (6-3, 215 pounds) entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of UC Davis in 2019. He’s spent time with four different teams and has 11 career receptions for 133 yards.
  • WR Juwan Green (6-0, 187 pounds) went undrafted out of Albany in 2020 and he’s spent time with two teams since then but is yet to appear in a regular season game.
  • WR Trey Quinn (6-0, 200 pounds) entered the league as a seventh-round pick out of SMU in 2018. Spending time with three teams, he’s caught 35 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns in the NFL.
  • TE Caleb Wilson (6-4, 240 pounds) is a former seventh-round pick out of UCLA who’s been with four different teams, but he’s yet to catch a pass in a regular season game.
  • RB Artavis Pierce (5-11, 208 pounds) went undrafted out of Oregon State in 2020 before stints with two different teams. He’s rushed for 34 yards and one touchdown in the NFL.
  • CB Bless Austin (6-1, 198 pounds) is a former sixth-round pick out of Rutgers who played for the New York Jets and then with Seattle Seahawks, totaling 98 tackles and eight pass breakups in three seasons.
  • CB Donnie Lewis (6-0, 190 pounds) was a seventh-round pick out of Tulane in 2019. He’s spent time with two different teams since then but is yet to appear in a regular season game.

The Broncos can carry 90 players on their roster in the offseason and they have 23 open spots going into this week’s draft.

Broncos allow contracts of 8 practice squad players to expire, making them free agents

The Broncos allowed the practice squad contracts of DBs Duke Dawson and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to expire, making them free agents.

After their 2021 season ended, the Denver Broncos signed six practice squad players to future contracts, giving those players a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp in 2022.

Denver later signed another defensive lineman and a pass rusher from the CFL to future deals, bringing their future contracts total to eight players. Those players will be added to the team’s 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.

Meanwhile, the Broncos did not give future contracts to eight practice squad players, and their contracts expired on Monday. That means the following players are now free agents: DB Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, DB Duke Dawson, CB Rojesterman Farris, WR Rico Gafford, QB Anthony Gordon, OL Tristen Hoge, DT Akeem Spence and TE Caleb Wilson.

Those eight players will be joined in free agency by OLB Pita Taumoepenu, DE Carlo Kemp and DT Deyon Sizer, who were released from Denver’s practice squad earlier this month.

Broncos tryout 8 players, sign QB to practice squad

The Broncos added QB Anthony Gordon to the practice squad and made several other roster moves Tuesday.

The Denver Broncos hosted eight players for tryouts on Tuesday and made several roster moves, including adding a quarterback. Here’s a quick recap of the team’s transactions.

Cornerback reinforcements are on the way for Broncos

The Broncos made several roster moves Wednesday.

There’s good news and bad news on the cornerback front for the Denver Broncos today.

First, the bad news: Bryce Callahan was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Callahan is technically eligible to return to the active roster in as few as three weeks, but NFL Network’s James Palmer reported Wednesday that Callahan might be looking at an eight-week recovery.

With nine more weeks remaining this season, Callahan certainly won’t be guaranteed to return before Denver’s season concludes.

Now, the good news: Mike Ford has been designated to return from injured reserve and Essang Bassey and Duke Dawson have been designated to return from the physically unable to perform list.

All three cornerbacks are now permitted to return to practice and the Broncos have a 21-day window to decide if they will be activated to the 53-man roster. Denver can promote all three defensive backs to the active roster at any time within the next three weeks.

The Broncos also announced Wednesday that tight end Caleb Wilson has been signed to the practice squad. Wilson will provide more depth at the position this week after Noah Fant was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
