“I’m a playmaker, someone who will help his team win on offense and on defense,” Wilson told On3.
Wilson knows what he is looking for in a school.
“I want to go somewhere that has a good fan base and atmosphere,” Wilson told On3. “I’ll want to play for a coach that believes in me and a program that has a culture. A culture of winning and a culture of getting better every day. I want to have good players around me and coached really hard so that wherever I go, I’m going to grow.”
As for the professional route, Wilson told On3’s Jamie Shaw that isn’t an option at this point.
“I have not talked to anyone from there yet,” he said. “I know they’ve come to watch me play thought. We’ve talked a little bit about that option but haven’t really gotten too far into it because it has to come first. But we’ve talked some about it.”
On3 Scouting Report for Wilson
Caleb Wilson has a great frame, good length and natural pop. He plays really well in a phone booth, efficient movements in tight spaces, shows the footwork to shake free with the ball in the half court. Wilson needs to continue getting stronger, which will help his base and balance.
He is explosive around the basket, has go-to comfort over his left shoulder with patience. WIlson can push the break and plays with pace. He has a vast array of offensive moves, at multiple levels. He is still learning his body and still gaining strength, this will only help his consistency. Tracking as one of the top players in his class.
