UNC basketball program offers four-star small forwarda👇👇👇
The University of North Carolina (UNC) men’s basketball program has extended an offer to four-star small forward Cole Cloer, a 6-foot-6, 180-pound prospect from Hillsborough, North Carolina. Cloer, who plays for Orange High School and competes with Team CP3 on the AAU circuit, is currently ranked as the No. 18 overall recruit nationally, No. 7 small forward, and No. 1 player in North Carolina for the 2026 class according to 247Sports.
Cloer announced the offer on social media, expressing his excitement about the opportunity. He described the Tar Heels’ program as “one of the best programs that there has ever been in college basketball,” highlighting the significance of the offer, especially given his proximity to Chapel Hill.
This move marks UNC’s first major step in the 2026 recruiting class, following a series of offers to top-tier prospects. Cloer’s commitment would add to the program’s growing momentum, complementing the recent commitment of five-star forward Caleb Wilson for the 2025 class.
As the recruiting process unfolds, Cloer’s decision will be closely watched by college basketball enthusiasts, particularly those following the Tar Heels’ efforts to strengthen their roster for the future.
