Caleb Wilson joins list of UNC basketball legends with his incredible Tar Heels debut

Acknowledging the caveat that it came against Arkansas State, Caleb Wilson’s debut for North Carolina was about as good as anyone could have asked for. The 19-year-old five-star true freshman led all scorers with 22 points in the Tar Heels’ 94-54 win on Monday night.

That performance was also historic, even by UNC’s lofty standards. Wilson became the fifth freshman in program history to score 20+ points in the last 30 seasons, joining Cole Anthony, Tyler Hansbrough, Rashad McCants, and Joseph Forte.
