According to 247Sports, Hoard is the No. 22 player in the 2018 class and the No. 1 recruit in the state of North Carolina.
Along with the Demon Deacons, Hoard also held offers from USC, Maryland, NC State, and Maryland among others. “I picked them basically because that was the school that I felt like I had the best relationship with the coaches,” Hoard told Scout. “I feel like I can trust them.”Next move..
