Cotton and his Mom share their attitudes about playing D

[Aargh]

Normally you think of a coaches son having a Dad who coaches. With Tekele, it was his Mom. This is a great read. It looks like Marshall has found yet another with brains, language skills, and a good attitude about basketball and probably a lot of other things.

It's awesome to see that we are not only recruiting solid athletes but smart, committed young men. Tekele is such a baller.

Thanks for the link. Now that we don't have the home page with links to all the Shocker related articles from the Eagle on it, I miss these pieces unless posted here. Otherwise, I simply don't bother with the Eagle.

Cotton is a tremendous young talent. I know many of us wondered about him as there was very little info coming in, but he's the real deal and going to be a lot of fun to watch. Wonder where he'll rank on the career steals list when he's done? Speaking of which, I miss having that on the site.

Attention Entercom Radio - Here's another person who cares about having a quality radio broadcast

"Jones, listening to the radio feed on the Internet, liked hearing Marshall talk about her son on the postgame show."

Good story. Cotton mom can feel proud of her son, she has obviously raised him well.

I sure wouldn't mind him going after the single game steals record on New Year's Eve.

Seems like a great kid.

I had my doubts about Tekele. There was never a media word written about him. He looked OK in the videos on the Internet but even Eric Bossi's tweet that Cotton is a tough guard didn't help me. However when he got to Wichita, good things about him started coming my way and by the Brazil games I figured he was going to be good. Chad Dollar didn't stay with us long but he delievered Tekele. Thanks Coach Dollar.
