What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
'Wilson is a prospect that many should look at with his size, ability to score on multiple levels, and ability to make plays on both ends of the floor. Plays with a smooth feel and plays a great pace.' – Phenom Tip-Off Classic
'He has a high IQ to accompany his scoring ability which allows him to take over games for this team. He has the ability to score from all areas of the court and is quite consistent. What I love most about his game is the pride he takes defensively. He takes pride in hounding ball handlers and really looks to cause a lot of turnovers. He controls the pace of the game and plays to his strengths, never tries to get outside of himself.' – from HS Jamboree in 2020
'Wilson is an intriguing prospect and you can see why schools have their eyes on him. A 6'5 wing prospect that can score in a variety of ways on the court. But what impressed us the most was his willingness and never backing down on the defensive end. Love that about Wilson's game.' – from Phenom Challenge in 2020
'Wilson is one that goes under the radar but programs need to start taking notice of his game. His is a 6'5 prospect that scores in a variety of ways but also really makes his presence known on the defensive end.' – from Phenom Queen City in 2020
