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. — DJ Blanks, ScoutU Basketball Scout, DJ@ScoutU.com, 216-990-8617

Message from Cole

I’m Cole Scanlon, and I attend Amherst Marion L. Steele HS in Ohio. A member of the 2027 Class, I currently hold a 3.8 cumulative GPA and am undecided on my major. On the court, I take pride in my ability to shoot at a high level (23.5 PPG during AAU), handle pressure, and take care of the basketball. I have strong court vision, make unselfish passes to find open teammates, and use my size and athleticism effectively to finish at the rim.   What makes me unique is my ability to learn quickly and apply what I see and study to my game. I not only love playing basketball, but I also enjoy watching and learning from different types of players and styles of play. Outside of practice, I consistently put in extra work by getting in the gym or working out in my driveway. During the offseason, I spend at least 2-3 hours every day focusing on shooting and skill development, including ball handling, improving my off hand, and scoring from different spots on the floor. Throughout the summer, I spend a lot of time playing pickup basketball at local parks and courts to compete against new players and continue to challenge myself.   Academically, I push myself by taking Honors and College Credit Plus (CCP) courses and have earned High Honor Roll recognition. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and learn more about me. I truly appreciate your time and consideration.
