UNC Basketball Turns Up the Hype for Caleb Wilson with Impressive New Training Video
The excitement surrounding Caleb Wilson in Chapel Hill continues to build, and the UNC basketball program is making sure everyone knows it.
On Thursday, the Tar Heels released a brand new training video spotlighting the five-star freshman forward, whose arrival has sparked considerable optimism among fans and college basketball analysts alike.
The video, shared across UNC’s official social media channels, showcases Wilson’s versatile skill set—highlighting his silky jump shot, smooth handles for a 6-foot-9 frame, and explosive finishing ability around the rim. In one clip, he grabs a rebound and glides coast-to-coast before drilling a pull-up three, underscoring why scouts view him as a potential one-and-done lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
“Caleb Wilson isn’t just talented—he’s driven,” the team captioned the post. “Tar Heel Nation, get ready.”
Wilson, who was ranked No. 5 overall in the 2025 recruiting class by 247Sports Composite and the No. 1 prospect in Georgia, has been praised for his advanced feel for the game and rare two-way potential. His combination of length, coordination, and vision makes him a perfect fit for head coach Hubert Davis’ uptempo system.
This is only the latest example of North Carolina’s efforts to build momentum ahead of the 2025–26 season. Over the past several weeks, the program has steadily teased behind-the-scenes glimpses of offseason workouts, but Thursday’s release is arguably the most eye-catching yet.
Wilson joins a roster stocked with experienced returners and other high-upside newcomers, setting the stage for what many expect to be a bounce-back year for the Tar Heels.
If the new video is any indication, the Caleb Wilson era in Chapel Hill could be one of the most exciting chapters in recent memory.
Fans can watch the full training reel on UNC basketball’s official Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.
