North Carolina commit Elliot Cadeau, "We got everything in this class"
North Carolina currently has the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2024 On3 Team Rankings. Elliot Cadeau is the point guard of the group. The 6-foot-1, 2024 On3 Consensus five-star committed to Hubert Davis’ Tar Heels in late December over offers from Texas Tech, Texas, Syracuse, Kansas, and more.
Since Cadeau, four-star center James Brown and five-star guard Ian Jackson have also come on board. We have not spoken to Cadeau since those new commitments, so wanted to catch up with the five-star to get his thoughts on the class and the Tar Heels.

Elliot Cadeau
What can UNC fans expect from you as a player?
Cadeau: “They can expect a very unselfish player, a player that will do anything to win and places winning as their top priority.”
What is the next step in your development?
Cadeau: “I think the next step is continuing to work on my decision-making. There are times when I need to be more aggressive in scoring and times when I stay aggressive with my passing. Keep developing when to score at the right moments and when to pass at the right moments.”
What was UNC’s recruiting pitch to you throughout the process?
Cadeau: “That I was a priority for them. Their head coach, Coach (Hubert) Davis, called me every week, and they showed me I was a huge priority.”
