This was part of his Thursday morning "two-team races" article.
"First-year Kentucky head coach Mark Pope continues to build momentum in Lexington. He’s already frustrated North Carolina fans once this cycle by landing point guard Jasper Johnson, who was heavily considering UNC before Pope took the reins of the Wildcat program.
Now, the Tar Heels must guard against losing another high-profile target to Kentucky, as UK and UNC appear to be the clear front-runners to land five-star forward Caleb Wilson. A Georgia-based star, Wilson appears to be trending toward Big Blue Nation, but the Tar Heels don’t seem interested in waving the white flag just yet. Wilson last toured Chapel Hill in early October for a one-day unofficial visit, which seems to have done little to create separation for Hubert Davis’ program.
No decision date has been set just yet, but there’s some confidence starting to radiate from the Kentucky side."
