Five-star recruit Caleb Wilson, as of yesterday, was visiting Arkansas this weekend to meet with John Calipari but has since postponed that trip.
One of the most highly anticipated prospects in the class of 2025, Wilson’s family scheduled a visit to the University of Arkansas this weekend but will be forced to postpone due to a scheduled game, according to insider Adam Zagoria.
The news, though initially will make the Big Blue Nation happy, in the long term, it just means a more elongated recruitment.
Wilson’s dad confirmed they will still take a visit to Arkansas, just not this weekend. The 6-foot-9 power forward out of Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in Atlanta has quickly become a prized recruit, and a hard-fought battle is shaping up to gain his services for next year.
In addition to Wilson, Kentucky, and coach Mark Pope hope to land another big time 5-star prospect live this Saturday:
Acaden Lewis
A five-star point guard, Lewis is high on coach Mark Pope’s wishlist. With his commitment ceremony tomorrow, let’s check in on how it’s looking for the Cats:
In this video, Lewis talks about each program and who he would likely recruit if he commits to that school:
Lewis is deciding between Kentucky, Duke, and two-time defending champion UCONN. All indications are that Kentucky has the edge. The event will be broadcast on 247 sports stream. You can catch it live here.
Another name to watch out for is Chris Cenac. The big man has narrowed his final schools down to 7: Tennessee, LSU, Baylor, Kentucky, Arkansas, Houston, and Auburn.
Cenac has kept a tight lid on his recruitment thus far and will take his last visit to Baylor at some point during the season. A current commitment is the most likely for the big man in the spring of next year.
Other players currently being recruited include Mikel Brown Jr, Brayden Burries, Samis Calderon, and Nate Ament. Will coach Pope close with a top-10 recruiting class after his first full year in charge? Stay tuned to Wildcat Blue Nation for the latest in each of these recruitments and any surprises that pop up.
