Caleb Wilson participating in individual workouts, but no contact drills

Caleb Wilson continues to inch closer to returning to action. "He doesn’t have his cast on anymore," Hubert Davis said following the Tar Heels' 89-82 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday. "Can’t do anything five on five, but he can do individual workouts. He can dribble, shoot, and he can do everything, just nothing on contact. So that’s a huge benefit." (Tar Heel Tribune)

Jonathan Powell Earns Extended Run, Energizes UNC in Victory Over VT

Jonathan Powell missed just one shot in UNC's 89-82 win over Virginia Tech, going 4-for-5, all from beyond the arc. Beyond the shot-making, Powell's defense made life difficult for the Hokies. He also added five rebounds and an alley-oop to Henri Veesaar, finishing plus-12 in 23 minutes. "I think it's more than my shooting as to what I can bring to a team." (TarHeel247)

Lucas: Ninety-Five

I can hear Dean Smith now: "Jonathan did make some shots, but I was very impressed with his rebounding and I loved his pass to Henri." Current UNC freshmen were born in 2007, a full decade after he retired. Dean Smith is more a name on a building to them than a figure they can picture in the middle of a huddle. And yet they still see him constantly." (GoHeels.com)
