Caleb Wilson, a highly sought-after 5-star forward in the 2025 recruiting class, has moved up his commitment timeline following a recent visit to Kentucky. Wilson, who had previously set a tentative decision date for later in the year, is now speeding up the process after being impressed by his trip to Lexington.
During his visit, Wilson had the opportunity to meet with Kentucky head coach John Calipari and his staff, tour the facilities, and experience the rich basketball tradition the Wildcats have to offer. Kentucky’s storied program, along with their proven track record of developing NBA talent, has placed them among the frontrunners in Wilson’s recruitment. He is also considering other top programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, but his visit to Kentucky seems to have made a strong impression.
Wilson’s decision to move up his commitment timeline is likely influenced by the Wildcats’ pitch of early playing time and development, as Kentucky has continued to push for elite talent in the 2025 class. Standing at 6’9″, Wilson is known for his versatility, athleticism, and basketball IQ, making him one of the top prospects in his class. His ability to play multiple positions and impact both ends of the floor has drawn comparisons to recent Kentucky stars who have gone on to successful NBA careers.
While a specific new date for his commitment has not been announced, it is expected that a decision could come within the next few months. Kentucky fans are hopeful that the recent visit could tip the scales in their favor as they continue to recruit one of the top players in the country.
