GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Colorado Mesa University men's basketball head coach Ken announced Thursday (Nov. 12) that Asher Serlen, a 6-foot-9 forward from Standley Lake High School in Westminster, Colo., has signed to join the Mavericks.
 
Serlen arrives in Grand Junction after a standout prep career at Stanley Lake. As a junior, he averaged 19.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, earning honorable mention all-state and first-team all-conference honors. He also helped lead Standley Lake to the first boys' basketball league championship in school history. Serlen was also a first-team all-conference selection as a sophomore.
 
On the club circuit, Serlen played for the Mountain Stars on the Under Armour Association (UAA) circuit.
 
"We're really excited to welcome Asher Serlen to the CMU Maverick basketball family!" DeWeese said. "At 6-foot-9, Asher possesses not only the size, but the developing skill set, that we covet from our frontcourt players. Our staff identified him early and knew he was a player that could really thrive in our system and program. Asher's combination of size and athleticism gives him a really high ceiling, as his skill set and familiarity with our style of play grows. Even more importantly, Asher is an exceptional student and person! He will not only be an asset to this program but to the CMU and Grand Junction community as well!"
