Although he didn’t play grassroots ball for a main program, Caledonia senior Gavin Schroeder got himself on several schools’ recruiting boards after the Warriors’ state tournament run last March. Caledonia got all the way to the title game, losing to Melrose, but there’s no reason to think they won’t make another good playoff run with several pieces back.
Graduated 6-foot-6 forward Kyle Sorenson is off to Bemidji State, and that makes Gavin the primary big man for Caledonia. He’s around 6-foot-5, averaged 9.8 PPG for his squad last winter and, most recently, made a nice impact at the NHR Combine; NHR got into contact with him shortly afterwards.
“I'm currently being recruited by St. John's, St Olaf, and Hamline,” Schroeder said. “I'm not sure on which kind of college is best for me, something with a good student body and great teacher and a good basketball program. I'm starting to learn more about these colleges as I get further in the process.
“I haven't visited any public schools yet,” he added. “I haven't ruled public out yet, but I might like a private school because of the teachers and small class size… I wouldn't mind a busy campus either. Overall I just feel like a private school would give me a better education and more community feel.”
Schroeder doesn’t want to study too close to home, as he says he wants to “get out and meet new people.” His Warriors tip-off on Nov. 20 against Rushford-Peterson to begin the 2015-2016 season.
“I want nothing less than a state championship,” he said. “I think we have all the pieces to do it… sure we lost some seniors, but we are bringing back some very key players.”
