North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson already has put together one of the most sensational freshman seasons in the program’s long and illustrious history.
Whether the topic is North Carolina’s season-long journey toward the national top 10, or perhaps just the Tar Heels’ huge victory over #4 Duke on Saturday night at the Smith Center, the starting point for understanding the team’s foundation for success is definitely freshman forward Caleb Wilson.
If the Tar Heels continue to grow, thrive and win over this next month or so, they will head to the ACC Tournament in Charlotte in mid-March with lots of confidence and as one of the favorites for the ACC championship, an achievement that has eluded Carolina for almost a full decade (2016) at this point.
The Atlantic Coast Conference has produced an absolutely sensational and highly impactful freshman class, led by a high-profile pair of former prep All-Americans in Duke forward Cameron Boozer and UNC forward Caleb Wilson and also including a handful of other fantastic first-year standouts.
