Caleb Wilson Set for Imaging, Henri Veesaar Says He's 100 Percent

"I'm definitely 100 percent, I'm able to practice, I'm able to play in games and playing without any pain," Henri Veesaar said. As for Caleb Wilson, the timetable remains unclear.

Hubert Davis' Approach to Offensive Success: 'We’ll Run It Until They Stop It'

How often will Hubert Davis call the same play over and over in a game if North Carolina is finding success running it? The short answer: "Until they stop it," he quipped.

Chansky’s Notebook: Free Throw Follies

There was always going to be a drop off after the departure of R.J. Davis, whose career free throw percentage of 86.1 is a program record. But UNC couldn’t have counted on Seth Trimble dropping 14 percentage points from 82 percent last season to 68 percent this season. Or that Henri Veesaar would drop from 68 percent at Arizona to 61 percent at UNC. (Chapelboro.com)

On the “Hubert Davis Live” radio show Wednesday night, Davis said Caleb Wilson’s competitive drive has made managing his recovery a challenge. "He would play tonight, if I would let him.

Video: Locked On Tar Heels - Sweet 16 or Bust?

Can UNC Basketball call the season a success, or does March Madness hold all the answers? Isaac Schade and Andy Bagwell discuss the highs and lows, including wins over Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Louisville, and Duke, while weighing whether a Sweet 16 run is the true benchmark for year 5 under Hubert Davis.

The Switch Has Flipped for UNC Basketball

With three games left before March, there should be real optimism. The Tar Heels are 22-6 and beating quality opponents without one of the best players in the country. Just as important, if not more, the depth is improving and gaining confidence. The last few games, this team's ceiling is pretty high. "The sky is the limit for us," Derek Dixon said. (TarHeel247)

Caleb Wilson's Injury And The All-American Question

This has got to be the best freshman class that I’ve seen in my time covering college basketball. It’s just phenomenal what we’ve seen across the board. There’s the potential for the first 10 picks in the NBA draft to be freshmen. As a member of that group, does being injured hurt Caleb Wilson’s chances at postseason awards? It’s a delicate question.

Jackson Watkins' Project of Reflection and Inspiration

The experience, exhilarating as it was, would one day come to an end. Jackson Watkins knew that, of course, and he understood. That said, Watkins wouldn’t have minded if his two-year stint as an against-all-odds basketball walk-on at the University of North Carolina lasted forever. Suiting up for the Tar Heels, you see, had been his lifelong dream. (Collegiate School)
