UNC basketball poised to land 5-star guard Elliot Cadeau

Elliot Cadeau, ranked the No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports, will announce his college decision on Wednesday at 7 p.m. and UNC has two crystal ball predictions to land the creative passer.

A five-star prospect from West Orange, New Jersey, who attends Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, Cadeau lists a top six of UNC, Louisville, Kansas, Syracuse, Texas and Texas Tech.

His announcement will be made live with 247Sports during halftime of Roselle Catholic vs. Gonzaga at the Made Hoops Jordan Holiday Classic.

If Cadeau picks the Tar Heels, he'll join Drake Powell as their only 2024 commits. Powel is a 6-foot-5, 170-pound forward from Northwood High in Pittsboro. He's ranked the No. 15 strong forward nationally in his class by 247Sports, and No. 50 overall.

Cadeau is a 6-1, 165-pounder and he's ranked the No. 8 overall player in his class nationally by 247Sports.

“Coach Hubert Davis has been in contact with me for almost a year now. I like how it’s the head coach talking to me every week. It really shows me that I’m a priority for them. Also they’re a winning program and I like winning a lot. I know if I were to go there I’ll have elite players around me that would help us win,” Cadeau told 247Sports.
