Cole Scherer emerged as Colorado’s top basketball player by leading Valor Christian to the Class 6A state title and earning the title of Mr. Colorado Basketball. He transformed into a dominant force, averaging 22 points this season, with a 26-point average in the state tournament and a game-high 28 in the championship win over ThunderRidge.

By the Numbers
  • Scherer averaged 22 points per game this season.
  • He scored a game-high 28 points in the championship win over ThunderRidge.
  • Scherer became a 47% 3-point shooter and led all classifications among players who made more than 46 3s (Scherer had 80).
State of Play
  • Scherer's interest from colleges remains limited, with only one offer from Division II Metro State.
  • Division I recruiting for non-blue-chip prospects is happening later, if at all, partly due to the transfer portal.
What's Next

Scherer plans to work with his trainers, participate in out-of-state showcases with his club team, Colorado Collective, and continue to elevate his game.

Bottom Line

Cole Scherer's impressive transformation into a dominant player and leader has positioned him for potential future success, with an ongoing focus on elevating his game to attract Division I college attention.
