Transfer Cade Tyson Schedules UNC Official Visit
The 6-foot-7 sophomore forward was a key target right away and one of UNC’s initial gateway recruits. This season, he shot 46.5 percent from three-point range, which was good for second place nationally according to the NCAA, and averaged 16.2 points and 5.9 rebounds. Tyson was selected on the Second Team of the Missouri Valley Conference.
He shot 41.7 percent from three point range and averaged 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in his rookie season, winning the Missouri Valley Conference rookie of the Year award. Hunter, Tyson’s brother, is a rookie with the Denver Nuggets this season after playing at Clemson.
Since using the site on March 25, Tyson has reportedly had a ton of attention and spoken with around 30 colleges, according to a source. He has one more formal visit planned, which is this coming weekend in Tennessee. Additionally, he has maintained communication with the following universities: Xavier, Wake Forest, Virginia, Villanova, Texas, Auburn, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Stanford, Texas, Wake Forest, Wake Forest, Wake Forest, and Virginia.
Inside Carolina was informed by sources close to UNC that Hubert Davis and his team are constantly searching the periphery for firepower, regardless of position, before to the gateway opening on March 18. Adding a potent shooter is obviously important because UNC will be losing three of its finest shooters from the 2023–24 season: Harrison Ingram, RJ Davis, and Cormac Ryan.
Hubert Davis stated last week on his radio show, “At the end of the day, my job is to put the most talented team out there on the floor.” “And that’s the most talented team out there on the floor that, from a personality standpoint, also fits and that wants to be here, wants to be a part of this program, understands that this is a program about — the we not about the me — and that’s our approach this summer.”
Tyson is rated by 247Sports as the No. 4 small forward and No. 23 overall prospect in the site.
Director of scouting for 247Sports Adam Finkelstein, who regards Tyson as “one of the best shooters in the country,” wrote the scouting report that is attached.
“At six feet seven inches, Tyler is similarly large, and while his actual measurements are unknown, he also appears to be lengthy. Since length and shooting usually go hand in hand, that combination would set him apart and help make up for his lack of exceptional athleticism, which might be a bigger issue at the high-major level than it has been thus far, especially on the defensive end of the court. In addition to being incredibly effective, he is also adaptable in the kinds of shots that he can take. He can shoot while in motion, off handoffs, off the dribble, over opposing defenders, and in a variety of screening situations. According to Synergy Sports, he shoots in the 99th percentile (almost 60%) on unprotected jump shots, making it difficult for defenders to cover or help off him. Even when he doesn’t touch the ball, that helps the rest of your offense. The stats also show that he is a sneakily good finisher who can score in the mid-range and attack close-outs.”
