I can tell you with out question that Cole has been offered a preferred walk-on spot. Cole played AAU ball with PA Slam which participated in major tournament in Philly, South Carolina, and Florida.  Cole is the son of a college coach and will work tremendously hard and compete everyday.  We will have to wait and see what kind of impact he will have at this level. As for other schools interested, Duquesne was very interested, Creighton’s head coach called and spoke with Cole’s coach  a number of times and was very interested but needed what he thought was an impact player right now. Cole was offered numerous division 2 scholarships and Syracuse and Penn State where both considering preferred walk-on status before he choose Lehigh. He choose Lehigh because of the academics and that Coach Reed, and Coach Wyche actively pursued him and made him feel that he would be a valued member of the program.
