5-star PG North Carolina commit Elliot Cadeau reclassifies to 2023

Elliot Cadeau, a five-star point guard committed to North Carolina, will reclassify to the 2023 class, joining the Tar Heels this upcoming season.

The 6-foot-1 point guard has been committed to UNC since December, choosing Hubert Davis and Company over Texas, Louisville, Texas Tech, Syracuse, and Kansas.

Cadeau has spent this past high school season at Link Academy in Branson, Mo., but he is originally from West Orange, N.J. He ranks as the No. 9 overall player in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Cadeau’s ranking will now be re-evaluated now that he is a member of the 2023 class.

Scouting Report

“The speed is what jumps off the page immediately with Elliot Cadeau. He is a jet-quick, paint-touch point guard who gets into the paint when he wants. Cadeau is a confident jump shooter with deep range off the bounce and the catch. His size will be the question mark with him. He has good floor vision and a crafty handle to get his spots on the floor, but he does look to shoot first at times. He is a savvy floor general who exudes confidence throughout his team.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

Cadeau’s On3 NIL Valuation worth nearly $500K

Elliot Cadeau currently holds a $476,000 On3 NIL Valuation.

The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

About On3 NIL Valuation, Brand Value, Roster Value

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.

The On3 NIL Valuation accounts for an athlete’s roster value and brand value. Roster value is the value an athlete has by being a member of his or her team at his or her school, which factors into the role of NIL collectives. Brand value factors in an athlete’s personal brand and the value it could bring to regional and national brands outside of the scope of NIL collectives.
