Why is that exactly?

I think this comes down to us vs NC State.

Just seems like a confident kid in every aspect of his life, meaning the weather and the girls may play a part, but only because they are defending champs and on the rise. Just a complete guess. Just vibes I get from him.

The weather and the girls weren’t here those years either. Some guys like to be in cool places as well. You can’t go wrong by going there is all im saying, I wouldn’t overlook all things considered. Maybe if he came out before they won the title, it would be less appealing there, but now, i wouldn’t overlook them being in a top five, and I definitely hope I’m wrong.

If that’s what he’s going for than he’s not a “serious” kinda kid and see ya. The one thing you know you are getting with Hurley is a kid that’s in it for the right reasons.

We get two of these kids and I’m fine with whatever two. I don’t think any of them will be major impacts next year and there is plenty of ways to plug gaps that you’ll have a much clearer sense of at the portal.
 
This is looking good for the good guys IMO.
UCONN: “They’ve been the best program in college basketball over the past four or five years. They won back-to-back championships. Coach (Dan) Hurley is a maniac, and that is exactly what you want. You want a coach who loves basketball; you don’t want anything else other than that. I love Coach Hurley and Coach Kimani (Young), and my relationship with them has grown over the past few weeks. They put out NBA players, and they have a system they know works. When you’re their guy, you’re their guy. They’re loyal.”

Nothing new. That quote is from 3 months ago. See this link.

2026 Recruiting: Thread 'Cole Cloer cuts his list to 8 schools'

UConn makes the first cut. The other thread on him is locked so I had to start a new one. But I linked it below so you can see the progression in his recruitiment and what happened earlier this past spring.

Cole Cloer, a high four-star small forward in the 2026 class, is down to eight schools. Moving forward, the 6-foot-7 rising senior of Caldwell Academy (NC) will consider Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Louisville, NC State, North Carolina, UConn, and Virginia.

The suspense. Hoping Miami isn't there for Mingo. There is only one SuperHero strong enough to tackle this issue. @HooperScooper

Trilly just put in the prediction for NCST…

Ewwww, Will Wade huh. Well, if he goes that direction, likely meant he wanted to stay local the whole way. Also may make some sense on why we ratcheted up recruiting on alternatives, despite positional difference, in the last month.

Not sure I've been less interested in the HS scene than I am this year. I don't think there are many players that will make much of a mark next year and then they're fair market in the portal. In fact, given I think the HS NIL scene might be a bit depressed this year, could see a lot of these kids flashing in the portal to see how they can make up for it in Year 2.

One coach is not like the other three. Only one has been in the limelight enough not to have a mascot needed for school identification.

Yeah times have changed. And missing out on HS recruits just doesn't sting like it used to. The only one of this class I really want is Mingo.

I agree. Although it does sting to me still not because of the player but rather the time invested by the staff. More of a perception thing even if the reality is he grew up an NCST fan, still doesn't read well to miss out as a Blue Blood to a program run by a glorified bag man.

Not even glorified at this point lol

I thought we'd get him, Wade/bags/local and all. Seems like one of the few recruitments where Hurley prioritized a realistic guy and didn't get him.

The fat lady hasn't sung quite yet as Hurley seems to be Trilly's kryptonite. Feels like an early call for Trilly, as CC only announced his top 5 today.

If anything, how UNC has tumbled. Where at any point pre-Hubert would they have lost an instate target to NC St?
 
So if Cloer indeed does go elsewhere, would this improve the chances of landing another specific player? If so, who do we think that might be?

Think kids are starting to realize going to UNC puts a nail in their NBA hopes.
