Summary

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the impact of Caleb Wilson on the North Carolina team and North Carolina basketball program in Wilson's short time in Chapel Hill. Wilson's performances on the floor and engagement with students and fans off the court have endeared the freshman unlike almost any other player in the last two decades. Barnes and Ashley discuss the generational side of Wilson's play, the weight he carries on his shoulders night in and night out, where he stacks up in Tar Heel lore of the past 20 years and finally, will Tuesday's performance in Miami leave any mark on all of those accomplishments and accolades to come. Wilson's injured left wrist has been the talk of the fanbase since the loss as the road gets no easier after a weekend date with Pittsburgh on Saturday. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.
