Cole Cloer (North Carolina State)
One transfer who has had a rocky start to his college career would be former 4-star recruit Cole Cloer. Cloer committed to the NC State Wolfpack and Will Wade, enrolled mid-season, and entered the portal after Wade’s abrupt move back to his former stomping grounds in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The transfer is sure to be an opportunity to get his college career back on track and find the right fit for his skill set.
One location could be the Louisville Cardinals, as his playing style could translate well into Pat Kelsey’s system. Louisville was a finalist in his recruitment and extended an offer before he decided to attend NC State. This past history and connection could give Louisville a slight edge if it were to go down this path.
Having reliable expertise and a system that plays to your strengths should be qualities that excite a highly sought-after recruit. In the Transfer Portal Cloer ranks No. 58 overall in the portal and No. 8 among small forwards.
