NC State 2026 signee Cole Cloer informed Inside Pack Sports that he will be enrolling in January and won't be playing this weekend for IMG Academy at the John Wall Invitational.
“I’ll be heading there in the spring,” Cloer said of his intentions to enroll at NC State. “That’s the plan. I can’t wait to get there.”
Cloer, who is rehabbing an injury, will not play for State during the spring semester.
Will Wade raved about Cloer when he signed in November.
“Cole is an exciting pickup for us,” Wade said. “It was a great recruitment and really excited that Cole is running with the Pack. He is a great, great player. He’s somebody that’s going to be able to step in and make an immediate impact for us. He can really shoot the ball. He’s got great height, he’s got great length and really shoots the ball at a high, high level. He’s somebody that does a really good job getting his shot off, has a quick trigger and every time he shoots it you think it is going in.
“He’s continued to expand his game, being able to beat guys off the bounce, does a great job getting on the offensive glass. He’s a plus-defender because of his length and athleticism and being able to switch. He’s really just a great fit for us all around. It’s a bonus that he’s right up the road and grew up an NC State fan, but we would have recruited him if he was anywhere in the country. We’re thrilled he’ll be with us and know he’s ready to go and help us from day one.”
