Kentucky Offers 4-Star Wing Cole Cloer

Kentucky is in the mix for another talented 2026 prospect. Following an exceptional week at the Peach Jam, Cole Cloer shared on social media that he received a scholarship offer from the Wildcats.

A 6-foot-7 small forward who plays for IMG Academy, Cloer is a four-star talent in the 2026 recruiting class. The Rivals Industry Ranking tabs Cloer as the 12th-ranked small forward and the No. 30 player overall.

Cloer has offers from more than a dozen schools, but two from the SEC appear to have caught his eye. He has official visits scheduled to Florida and Alabama this fall. He’s also taken trips to North Carolina, NC State, and Ohio State.

Last week in North Augusta, Cloer shot the ball well against some of the top players in the country. He was tabbed as one of Rivals’ top performers after averaging 15.3 points per game on 38.5 percent shooting and 31.3 percent from three.

Kentucky isn’t the only school taking notice of Cloer’s play. John Calipari’s Arkansas Razorbacks offered him a scholarship on Sunday.

Jamie Shaw’s Cole Cloer Scouting Report

Cole Cloer stands in the 6-6 range, a scorer. Cloer is a solid straight line athlete with solid length, and a developing wing handle. Is at his best when his game is consolidated, getting to his spots within one or two dribbles. His balance is inconsistent when shooting from three which leads to inconsistent resulted. Has good length. Nice shooting release that is consistent. Not the best athlete laterally and can play upright at times. Has some explosion that will get him above the rim, especially on set lob plays. Very nice pull up jump shot off a dribble or two. Does not put much pressure on the rim in the half-court, which limits free throw opportunities at times, but he is capable of straight-line driving sloppy closeouts. His brother played football at Cornell.
