That would be the #4 overall class right now and #1 in the SEC.

“Seeing how they play and what they do with their bigs especially, they just don’t have a bunch of guys that just stand around the rim and run to the rim and shoot hook shots. They’re really focused on developing their skill and elevating their game.”

Wilson played at Bonner-Prendie High School before choosing to attend Georgia Highlands College in 2018.

As a redshirt freshman during the 2019-20 season, Wilson played in 32 games, averaging 10.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, as the Chargers finished with a 24-8 record.

“It was a big learning experience coming off the bench for most of the year,” Wilson said. “I’m playing behind a lot of really good guys ... a lot of guys who can really score the ball in a variety of ways made it whereas there wasn’t much of a burden to score. Rebounding was big, also blocking shots and just being able to guard different people.”

Wilson stands at 6’9, but plays an all-around game a combo guard/forward. He shot 30.8 percent from three-point range, but was also able to finish inside with great leaping ability.

Being an all-around player, Wilson also was able to run the floor well for someone of his size and showed a great ability to put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket.

“The name of the game nowadays is position-less basketball and versatility,” Wilson said. “Being one of those players who can move to different spots is great. It’s what a lot of people are looking for and I’m glad people are able to recognize that I’m a versatile basketball player.”

“There’s no timeline on my decision right now,” Wilson said. “I plan on taking visits, talking to coaches a lot and just seeing where I fit best.”

Wilson would have two years of eligibility after transferring from the junior college ranks ahead of the 2021-22 season.

This past season, I can’t name ten more players who watched their stock rise more than Omaha native Hunter Sallis. As far as our premier players nowadays, Sallis is definitely one of those guys. The 6-foot-5 guard has a very solid skill set. An elite athlete with major upside and an explosive offensive game.

For that reason, he is currently being pursued by nearly 20+ programs and tells Stockrisers.com that he will cut that down into a list ‘sooner than later’

“Really the blue blood programs that have recruited me are still involved. The schools around the area like Creighton, Nebraska, Iowa State, Then Florida, Alabama, Oregon, Louisville, UConn, and more,” Sallis said on who’s involved.

When we spoke to Sallis this winter, his plan was to try and commit this fall.

But, that might not be so realistic anymore. Like everyone else, Sallis is taking his visits virtually and meeting with coaches virtually as well. His plan prior to the COVID-19 pandemic was to take his campus visits and then cut down and make his choice, now he will continue his zoom calls and likely push his timeline back.

“I've had zooms with Kansas, UNC, Iowa State, Oregon, Alabama, Creighton, and Arkansas.”

As far as his timeline goes though, he says he’s unsure due to deadlines on in-person visits: “I plan on trying to wait to see if I can take visits because I really want to get a feel for the campus in person before I commit somewhere so that’s why I’ve been waiting so long.”

Since there’s no list cut, he hasn’t stopped new programs from getting involved in his recruitment.

Sallis said that he’s recently been in contact with Kentucky. He has yet to speak with head coach John Calipari, but, he says that he’s been talking with an assistant and they said they would love to watch more of him in-person. They’ve been watching his film and looking at games online. As far as his recruitment remains open, could see if UK bolsters more interest.
