With a reloaded roster already set for the 2025-26 season, new head coach Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers are aiming to add even more talent in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
Indiana men’s basketball target Cole Cloer recently revealed his final eight school choices on social media: Indiana, North Carolina, NC State, Louisville, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, and UConn.
He has ruled out Villanova, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio State, Miami, Providence, Oregon, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, and Georgetown.
Cloer, who attended Caldwell Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina, also plays for Team CP3 on the Nike EYBL circuit, a program founded by future NBA Hall of Famer Chris Paul. He recently announced plans to transfer from Greensboro’s Cole Academy to IMG Academy for his senior season in 2025-26.
At Caldwell Academy, Cloer averaged 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.0 steal, and 3.8 assists as a high school junior, shooting 51% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc.
On the EYBL circuit, he is posting averages of 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 49.4% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range.
“Cole Cloer stands around 6-foot-6 and is a natural scorer,” wrote On3 National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw. “He is a solid straight-line athlete with good length and a developing wing handle. Cloer is at his best when his game is focused, getting to his spots within one or two dribbles. However, his balance when shooting from three-point range is inconsistent, which affects his results.”
While Cloer has yet to announce an official visit to Bloomington, Indiana, he currently has official visits scheduled for Florida on September 6 and Alabama on October 18.
