July 3, 2025<\/a>Alabama Crimson Tide<\/p>\nThe Crimson Tide is one of the best offenses in all of college basketball, and for a talent like Cloer, they make sense. The team\u2019s wing depth includes freshman Amari Allen and not much else. Unless they land a couple of transfer wings, there\u2019s a path to playing time for this prospect.<\/p>\n
Florida Gators<\/p>\n
Being the reigning national champions, look for the Gators’ next couple of recruiting classes to take a major leap. One of their biggest needs lies in the wing positions, as forward Alex Condon is expected to play at the three-spot. That or we\u2019ll see three-guard lineups next season. Cloer would have a clear path towards being in the rotation as soon as his freshman campaign.<\/p>\n
Indiana Hoosiers<\/p>\n
Indiana is an interesting option because they\u2019re set to lose several senior newcomers, including Tucker DeVries and Lamar Wilkerson. The x-factor to watch is Trent Sisley, a four-star small forward freshman who\u2019ll have a hard time finding minutes but could be a surprise contributor, which could dictate how appealing the Hoosiers will be for other wing prospects.<\/p>\n
Louisville Cardinals<\/p>\n
The wing depth for Louisville is expected to be among the best this upcoming season, led by senior transfers Ryan Conwell and Isaac McKneely. Both of them will be gone after next year, leaving just former top-50 commit Khani Rooths around. The Cardinals are in the mix for a number of top class of 2026 prospects besides Cloer, but he could be the ideal replacement for one of those wings once they depart.<\/p>\n
NC State Wolfpack<\/p>\n
New Coach Will Wade landed a bench of seniors on the roster via the portal, including Terrance Arceneaux and Quadir Copeland. There\u2019s also FSU junior forward Jerry Deng, who\u2019s a combo forward reserve. Cloer would get a large role with this option and would play in an offense-friendly system.<\/p>\n
UNC Tar Heels<\/p>\n
Coach Hubert Davis has done well with perimeter-based players, including last year\u2019s top-50 wing prospects, Ian Jackson and Drake Powell. This upcoming season, the team has former WVU forward Jonathan Powell and incoming freshmen, Isaiah Denis and Luka Bogavac. Both the Wolfpack and Tar Heels are the local options for Cloer, which makes this specific recruitment all the more interesting if they\u2019re the finalists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
UConn Huskies<\/p>\n
UConn lost Liam McNeeley to the NBA Draft this offseason and has several options to replace him. Jayden Ross and Jaylin Stewart are breakout candidates, while four-star freshman Jacon Murphy could be a big-time first-year contributor to watch. Cloer would have to be careful of a logjam at this option.<\/p>\n
Virginia Cavaliers<\/p>\n
New HC Ryan Odom is another coach with a great history of developing perimeter players. His last star player was Max Shulga, a 6\u20195 guard\/wing who was the A-10 Player of the Year. With most of the incoming transfers for the Cavaliers all being seniors, Cloer would be a great first pickup for the program\u2019s 2026 class.<\/p>\n
