HS Coach Evaluation:
Collin has been a starter on the varsity squad for three seasons at Manchester. He has increased his offensive production every season as well as improving from being selected to the 2nd team all-conference his freshmen year to 1st team all-conference his sophomore year. He’s a dynamic scorer that improved from averaging over 12 points a game his freshman year to just under 19 points a game his sophomore year. He shot over 33% from beyond the arc last season and made an impressive 84 free throws. Not only is Collin a standout basketball player who has been our captain for the past 2 seasons, but he has earned all-academic honors both years as well. – Coach Josh Karlton, Head Coach Manchester High School
Coach Frank says:
Collin is a tremendous athlete with a strong powerful frame and a great deal of quickness. A two sport star as a record breaking wide receiver in football and a high scoring, high motor guard on the basketball court, his athleticism and high energy competitiveness are difficult to match. He has a nose for the ball and is an elite playmaker. Collin is a scorer first and foremost and has an impressive burst that allows him to get wherever he wants to on the court. He has a nice touch off the glass and can hit the floater over taller defenders, score the mid range jumper and hit the three pointer at a high percentage. He is a very good shooter both off the bounce and in catch and shoot. His strong frame allows him to absorb contact and finish around the rim. He has a strong first step and very good ball-handling skills and although a proven scorer has the ability to create for teammates off the bounce. His durability and great conditioning are evident not only in his ability to sustain a high level of competitiveness but as his team’s primary scorer where he knocks down shots with very good consistency and has the ability to finish over length and through contact. All of this while locking up on the defensive end and rebounding the basketball to the tune of 7-8 rebounds per game! Collin’s skill, versatility and his elite athleticism makes him a valuable and productive player capable transitioning easily to the next level. Has all the tools to be special. Sky is the limit!
