Dom Collier probably will spend the rest of his summer brushing up on his German.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Collier has signed his first professional contract with FC Schalke 04 in the German Pro A league. The former Colorado Buffaloes guard and Denver East standout agreed to a one-year deal.
A two-time winner of the Denver Post's Mr. Basketball award, Collier led East to a state title at the CU Events Center at the end of his senior season in 2014. He endured an up-and-down career as a homegrown star at CU, yet over his four-year career Collier filled a number of roles in coach Tad Boyle's program.
