The recruitment of Caleb Wilson has certainly been an eventful one. He has scheduled and canceled visits, made an official trip to Kentucky, and attended the neutral-site game against Duke in Atlanta. Mark Pope and his staff appear to be making a strong push to bring Wilson into their 2025 recruiting class.
The latest twist in Wilson’s recruitment involves his relationship with his Arkansas visit. After scheduling a trip a couple of weeks ago, he postponed it due to a “scrimmage” and rescheduled it for this weekend. However, according to national analyst Travis Branham of 24/7 Sports, Wilson has now canceled the visit, and there are no plans to reschedule it.
Though Wilson wasn’t initially planning to sign early, he intends to narrow down his list of schools in the next few weeks, as reported by Paul Biancardi. His current list of 12 schools includes Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, UCF, and USC. Wilson has visited several of these schools, including Ohio State, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, North Carolina, and UCF.

This development is significant for Kentucky fans, as many recruiting experts believe the Wildcats are now the frontrunner for his commitment, with Arkansas and North Carolina also still in contention. Recent signs point to a potential Kentucky-North Carolina battle, with public interest leaning toward the Wildcats.
One key factor in Kentucky’s favor is the commitment of Acaden Lewis, who signed with the Wildcats. Both Lewis and Wilson have expressed interest in playing together, which adds an extra layer of appeal for Wilson to join the Wildcats. While this isn’t the only factor in his decision, it certainly strengthens Kentucky’s case.
