Senior Guard with Bellarmine Prep Scoring Pedigree Now in Limited TCU Role
Cole Despie, a 6'4" senior guard from San Jose, CA, brings elite high school scoring DNA (averaged 17.6 PPG as a Bellarmine College Prep senior) but currently plays a minimal role at TCU, averaging just 0.5 PPG in 2024-25. While his college stats don’t reflect his high school intensity, his differentiator is his proven ability to create offense under pressure—a trait that made him a preseason Player of the Year contender in some circles. He’s not injury-prone, but his current fit is best for teams needing a veteran backup guard with scoring upside, not a primary ball-handler. His intensity and personality shine in practice, even if game stats are quiet.
