I chuckled at the sentence about Marshall and McDermott.

Indeed. Though I think luck has very little to do with the position of both coaches.

I wonder if Cotton has gotten to a point there he is just sighing and shaking his head every time another thing comes out.

I'm about the biggest Tekele Cotton fan there is, but any list that includes him in the Top 100 players in the country isn't going to get much crap from me. There are a lot of fine players across the country.

I agree. There's just something funny about seeing him at #93 when the other two guys are at 9 and 6. But, yes being mentioned at all is very good.

It's the question of "Are there maybe 10ish players you would take over Baker or FVV today? (obviously, no as a Shocker, but just as a regular coach of any program...) Now, are there 90-100 players you would take over Tekele Cotton?" It's actually kind of fun to think about.

Just throwing this out there, but I flipping hate how websites make a list of people into a slideshow where every position on the list is a new slide. It's just to inflate their pageviews.

I clicked on that BR link and literally did this

Also, a lot of the links in this link I'm going to post are duplicates from here, but here is a list of Shocker stories from around the web from the last week or so. Not sure if you seasoned viewers of SN will find it to be new.

Whether we have or have not, nice!

I've already seen the Shocker Morning Dump and can assure you it looked nothing like that.

That is hilarious @Cdizzle:.

He may not even be aware of it, and if he is it would be out of what we know of his character for him to be concerned about it. Actually, in one sense it's the most realistic list yet, because as a college player (regardless of what one may think of his NBA prospects), it's hard to imagine that he isn't one of the top 100 in the country. You can argue that he should be higher, and legitimately so, but on the other hand he does still have to show observers that he can bring the offense consistently.

Edit: Thanks for the reminder, dizzle. I need to head for the bathroom for my SMD.

Is that SMD anything similar to a WMD?

Probably.
