00:00Caleb Wilson has off to a great start as a stud freshman for Hubert Davis,

00:06scoring at about 20.6 points per game at 10 rebounds,

00:10shooting 67% from the floor and 43% from three.

00:16And when you think about this UNC team,

00:19a team that's ranked number 18 in the country at record time,

00:23and you look at that performance that he had in that 87-74 win over Darren Peterson

00:33and Kansas is at the Dean Dome.

00:37He was outstanding shooting going for 24-7-4 and 9-11 from the floor.

00:44It's almost like Caleb looked around and said,

00:46you're talking about Armet.

00:49You're talking about Sinek.

00:51You're talking about Flemings.

00:52You're talking about DeBanzer.

00:54You're talking about Boozer.

00:56You're talking about Corey Peet after his performance was in Florida.

00:59And he's sitting there saying, what about me?

01:02What do I have to do?

01:04I want someone, people to understand something.

01:07When you get a chance, go look at the last 50 years of North Carolina,

01:13probably from the early 80s, so about 40 years,

01:17and tell me how many kids scored 20 points per game in North Carolina in a season.

01:22Folks, it may be on one hand.

01:25And you're talking about a program that had Jordan, that had Doherty, that had Worthy,

01:32that had Kenny Smith, that had Stackhouse, that had Rasheed Wallace.

01:37I could go, I'm missing like 20 guys.

01:42Antoine Jameson, Vince Carter, they never got guys that get 20 a night.

01:48So if this kid's giving you 21 and 10, 21 and 11,

01:52and he can shoot it at over 60% from the floor and 40% from three,

01:57this guy can not only lead the prominence of UNC,

02:04especially with Seth Dribble out with an injury,

02:06and that freak accident, I'll tell you one more.

02:10Hubert Davis, this kid may save your job.

02:15Speaking of jobs, we got to spend a minute talking about what Pat Kelsey's doing at Louisville.

02:21That team is off to a 4-0 start after their big win in the Bluegrass battle last week versus Kentucky.

02:32And I want to say it like this.

02:35Chuckie Hepburn graduated their best player.

02:37They were, in my opinion, the worst, and I mean the worst,

02:47power school team, power four team,

02:52with Kenny Payne two years ago.

02:56And they went from the worst team as a power team in the entire nation

03:02to arguably a Final Four team in two years.

03:09I don't think people understand this.

03:13If you got the right coach and you hit on the portal,

03:18something that Mark Campbell's doing at TCU on the women's side,

03:21you can make up ground and make up ground really, really fast.

03:26Let's end this segment talking about the old guard in regards to coaching,

03:30and that's Mark Few.

03:32To me, when you look at best coaches to not win a national championship,

03:37it's Kelvin Sampson, and it's Mark Few.

03:40In my opinion.

03:41There's other guys, too.

03:43Rick Barnes comes to mind.

03:45Matt Painter comes to mind.

03:46But to me, the two best I've never won are Kelvin Sampson and Mark Few.

03:51And he continues to do it at Gonzaga year after year after year.

03:56And what they've done is they've combined freshman play

03:59with transfers and with that guy right there, Grammy Kaye.

04:06What they've done is they're given to her, with the staff.

04:07What ones who keep in mind arefinder?

04:10They can join me until Ontario's show, and they're where he goes to

04:29you.
