Following 12th ranked North Carolina beating Florida State behind Caleb Wilson ‘s 22 points Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say about Caleb Wilson!
He watches a ton of film — he’s a student,”later adding, “I’ve never seen a freshman do this on his own. He gets the tapes. He probably already has tape of [our next opponent] SMU, and probably has already watched games of them.” “He’s just always in a position of listening and learning. And when you have that type of person that is that talented, that’s pretty good.”
