Caleb Wilson, No. 4 overall and No. 2 among power forwards on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, got an up-close look at the UNC basketball program during his official visit over the weekend.

The five-star Tar Heel target from Holy Innocents Episcopal School (Ga.) sat courtside to watch No. 3 UNC defeat then-No. 7 Duke, 93-84. And following the statement rivalry win in the joyous Dean E. Smith Center, Wilson watched the players and coaches dance inside the locker room.

Here's the video that the 6-foot-9, 205-pound versatile prospect posted on social media minutes after the game:

Then, on Sunday afternoon, Wilson shared the following all-smiles picture of himself donning a UNC basketball jersey with his arm around the shoulder of his potential college coach in Davis:

Wilson was on his official visit alongside another 2025 UNC offer holder in Link Academy (Mo.) five-star guard Jasper Johnson. Plus, four-star forward Jackson Keith, who shines for Southern High School (N.C.) in Durham, joined them at the battle against Duke as part of his unofficial visit.

Unlike Johnson, who recently named a top 10 that includes the Tar Heels, Wilson has yet to reveal finalists in his recruitment. He previously visited Auburn, Kentucky, and Stanford.

One would think the good times he witnessed in Chapel Hill will ensure UNC remains in the Caleb Wilson race until the finish line.
