Evaluations
6’3” SG Cole Scanlon from Amherst High School (OH) is a sniper! Big-time shooter with range. Has a nice jump shot and catch-and-shoot 3 with great mechanics. What really impressed me about Cole was his game style – He plays at his own pace doesn’t get sped up (very smooth). He has nice footwork and a nice triple threat fake to spin off defenders, setting up his jumper in the mid-range. Do not leave this kid open! I’ve rarely seen Cole miss. If he did miss, it was still a great shot. He also surprised me with his moves to the basket and making plays.
Cole is a really good passer, showed by his multiple plays against Avon High School when he made sweet dimes to his teammates for open layups. He does a good job boxing out and getting rebounds both offensively and defensively. Plays hard and makes winning plays. Takes great shots – not good shots. Cole also does well moving without the basketball and relocating to open spots for catch-and-shoot 3s.
I’m looking for him to be the guy for varsity next year as a senior. Cole handles his business off the court with a 3.8 GPA. His recruitment is open, and he’s looking for any opportunity to play! I found out that his mother played D1 and professional basketball, while his dad played D1 football at Samford. This kid has athletic genes. He is only scratching the surface, getting better and better each year.
