In the early part of July, top-20-ranked Class of 2026 prospect Cole Cloer narrowed his recruitment down to eight schools.
At the time, the list of programs that were still in contention for the in-state product included:
Alabama
Florida
Indiana
Louisville
NC State
North Carolina
UConn
Virginia
Since then, Cloer, who moved to complete his high school career at IMG Academy in Florida, has taken some official visits and has some upcoming as well. Before he completes his official visits tour, Cloer has made the decision to cut some programs out of the mix, narrowing his recruitment to five finalists.
