2024 Top-10 point guard Elliot Cadeau sets commitment date
Elliot Cadeau, one of the top players in the class of 2024, will announce his college decision on Wednesday, December 28th.
The 6-foot-1 point guard originally from Oradell, New Jersey is deciding between six schools: North Carolina, Texas Tech, Louisville, Texas, Kansas, and Syracuse. He’s visited three of those schools: North Carolina, Texas Tech, and Louisville.
Cadeau ranks as the No. 10 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 overall point guard.
Cadeau talks finalists
In a previous interview with On3, Cadeau broke down each of his final six schools.
North Carolina: “I have a really strong relationship with coach (Hubert) Davis. They are a winning program that does great with point guards. I like their style of play a lot.”
Texas Tech: “They were one of the first schools to recruit me. I love their staff and program. I have a strong relationship with the head coach and a couple of the assistants.”
Louisville: “Coach Kenny Payne is one of the best coaches I’ve met. I love the culture that he is building in Louisville.”
Texas: “I was a big fan of coach (Chris) Beard and his achievements so when I was offered by Texas, I was very happy. They have a great program with a great staff.”
Kansas: “Kansas is a winning program that is always elite. Their play style is nice and their coach is great.”
Syracuse: “They were one of the first schools to recruit me. They show me a lot of love and I probably would like to visit them.”
Reclassification?
Reclassifying to 2023 is also on the table for Cadeau, but he hasn’t fully made up his mind just yet.
“I think it will be a last-minute decision,” he said of reclassifying to 2023. “I think I’m staying in 2024 for now. Me and the coaches both bring it up. We’re not trying to force anything because I’ve seen a lot of people reclass up and it not work for them.”
Cadeau concluded by saying he ultimately will not make a decision on reclassification until after the AAU season which ends in July.
Scouting Summary
“The speed is what jumps off the page immediately with Elliot Cadeau,” On3’s Jamie Shaw writes. “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.”
