Tekele Cotton

[WSUwatcher]

Perhaps the best article on Tekele I've read.

Wow -- very impressive. I wouldn't have known Jansen Yetter if he had walked up and introduced himself, but that's a great piece about a great player.

[shock]

That was great.

I realized when I read this that Tekele will likely become the first Shocker in history to play in the NCAA tournament in each of his four years. Congrats Tekele!

first of many

Great story on a Great, Great Shocker.

TC is EPIC! There should be a thread where we post nothing but TC dunk videos. No one posts anything in writing, not one word. Just video after video, dunk after dunk. TC, words do not do you justice.

Today's game is the second time I've heard the announcers mention TC as a prospective NFL safety, this time by quoting coach Marshall who apparently said "put some shoulder pads on him" and send him to the NFL. I'm glad to hear someone with some authority say this because I've often thought that just might be his next venture. If there's a John Dorsey sighting at CKA, might Tekele be terrorizing NFL receivers next?

#4 on the SC Top 10.

#4 on the SC Top 10.

The guy he first passed at the 3 point arc and the second guy he simply passed by while flying through the air while "POSTERIZING" were consensus Top-50 players coming out of high school. The guy with dreads getting "posterized" was even a McDonald's "burger boy All-American".

Lol.....lol.......and LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice work COTTON!!!!! You again proved that a quarter pounder, fries and a medium Coke endorsement don't mean squat!!!!!!!

Tekele is moving in on becoming the All-Time winningest Shocker.

Demetric Williams is considered the all-time winningest Shocker with 111 wins from 2009-2010. Those were the number of wins for the Shockers during with Demetric on the active roster during his career in which he played in all but 4 games. All 4 of those games were wins so he actually played in 107 wins.

During Tekele's career-to-date the Shockers have won 109 games. Tekele has missed playing in only 2 of those games. He has played in 107 wins also.

I don't believe they reduce the wins for games you did not play in so I think Demetric's record is on the books as 111 games as a member of the Shocks.

Tekele has 2 more to go to tie. I think he will get there.

Wherever Tekele's numbers end up it is going to be one very tough standard to beat. Although Fred and Ron will have a shot at it if they both return next year. Evan, because of his medical redshirt, however may ultimately be the king of wins if he comes back next year. Not sure how they will count 2 years ago when he only played 8 games (all wins) in his medical redshirt year.

PS: These are unofficial numbers by my count. Sorry but accuracy not guaranteed.

Ron missed ~ 20 games as a RS freshman. While he was on the active roster during that time, FVV actually played in them. I believe that FVV will end up being the all-time win leader by participation while Evan should get the total number while active (4 years + 8 of 30 during his medical RS year). In Evan's freshman year the team won 27 games, so with the 8 from his second year, he has 35 wins...plus 35 last year. He's on pace for ~ 135 wins in games active. FVV is on pace for ~ 130 wins (30 + 35... ~ 32 + ?).

I appreciate Williams, I really appreciate Tekele. But I'm hoping that a freshman next year breaks their records.

TC is the ultimate example of a HCGM player. An incredible defender with an all around game and a great basketball IQ. Every time I start thinking about how much I'm going to miss him, I have to remind myself to just enjoy the remaining show.

TC should get about a five minute standing O on senior night. I would suggest we give him a 10,000+ strong group hug, but he would probably just flex his muscles and throw us off. I will probably be a little allergic to his playing his last game at CKA.

I get a little teary just thinking about Tekele leaving.

Yep. This is one I'm dreading. I truly feel a lump in the throat just thinking about it. You see. This is what the one and done school fans don't get to experience. They have little connection to the fellas. What a stud!
