By all accounts, the 2023-24 North Carolina Tar Heels got better on Tuesday, as the long rumored reclassification of 5* point guard Elliot Cadeau into the 2023 recruiting class finally became official. Cadeau was ranked No. 10 in the 2024 class by ESPN, and 247 quickly updated its rankings to list Cadeau as the No. 12 recruit in the 2023 class. History tells us that recruits ranked that highly tend to make instant impacts for their team.
The talent is undoubtedly there. The fit? That’s questionable.
Cadeau projects as a ball-dominant, pass-first point guard, with skills and IQ that make up for a diminutive 6-foot, 175 pound frame.
