  • UConn or NC State: What's the BEST FIT for Cole Cloer?

    UConn or NC State: What's the BEST FIT for Cole Cloer?
    2025/09/16
    In this episode, we break down the recruitment of four-star forward Cole Cloer from Hillsborough, NC, and why his decision may come down to the UConn Huskies and the NC State Wolfpack. We explore: • Why UConn makes sense for Cloer, including Dan Hurley’s championship pedigree, NBA pipeline, and the Alex Karaban connection. • Why NC State is a contender, with Will Wade offering Cloer the chance to be a hometown hero and centerpiece of the Wolfpack rebuild. • The Hurley vs. Wade coaching battle, and what it means for Cloer’s future. If you follow UConn Basketball, NC State Basketball, or ACC/Big East recruiting, this is a must-listen. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more recruiting updates, transfer portal news, and @BigEastEnergyNetwork podcasts. #NCStateBasketball #WolfpackHoops #GoPack #NCStateRecruiting #ACCRecruiting #UConnBasketball #HuskyNation #UConnHoops #BigEastBasketball #CollegeBasketball #RecruitingNews #CollegeHoops #DanHurley #WillWade #ColeCloer #ACCvsBigEast Learn more about your ad choices.
