There is no doubt that UNC basketball fans know what is scheduled for February 3, as the Tar Heels will host rival Duke for the first installment of this year's rivalry series.

To add to the excitement of the actual game, North Carolina will also be hosting a big-time prospect from the Class of 2025.

As first reported by insider Adam Zagoria, five-star forward Caleb Wilson will visit North Carolina for the Tar Heels battle with the Blue Devils. Zagoria noted that it is unsure whether the visit will be considered an official or unofficial one.

Among a highly-talented class, Wilson is regarded as one of the best players available. He ranks as the No. 1 overall player in the state of Georgia, and comes in at No. 4 nationally in 247Sports Composite's most recent rankings. To no surprise, Wilson has drawn interest from plenty of top-tier programs, as the Tar Heels opponent that evening also has an offer extended to the 6-foot-10 big man.

Recruitments for the Class of 2025 is starting to heat up, as the Tar Heels are working to be heavy players for some of the best prospects that this class has to offer. Wilson is one of the players that the UNC basketball program has shown a high level of interest in, and hope that his visit to Chapel Hill will not only feature a win over their biggest rival, but will also convince him that North Carolina is the right place for him for his upcoming collegiate career.
