Awesome! Great accomplishment for him. Does this cement him joining the shocker hall of fame?

I actually think the two DPOY trophies would have done that. This is just more accomplishments.

The first summer Cotton landed here, it was obvious he was a talent. However, I never dreamed his game would progress and improve to this magnitude on both sides of the floor. There is a stat that he prolly leads all Shocks from all time that is not kept track of. It is the point differential of our foes individual point average of what they normally average versus what they scored in each game we play. This is a defensive stat that Cotton must be the king of here even though he usually gets our opponents best players assigned to him to guard. The Big Dance win versus Pitt is a prime example of what Cotton does on D to help us win by shutting down their star player. Shocker players that are dedicated like Cotton have a habit of really developing and improving during their tenure here under the Marshall plan. Cotton is a prime example of this fact.

You are so right FSF.

Having Cotton guard you is like trying to have your taxes figured with no W-2 form. No deposits, no return. Here is what would be really spooky scary. To play in a game and Cotton guards you and covers you like a wet blanket, sticks to you like superglue, and keeps you scoreless. Then on defense you have to guard Tyrone Shoelace who happens to be on the same team with Cotton as you try in vain to stop that patented crossover dribble which can't be done. After getting up to chase Tyrone who is 'gone with the wind' but leaves a vapor of bad gas from too many burritos, you get lost in the fog and run smack into the "Great Wall Of Shaq" (same team) who sets a 'stone cold screen' which has the sensation of running into a brick wall and bouncing back, slamdunking you to the hardwood like a rag doll.

Your coach calls time out and screams and yells right in your face with bad breath (Tyrone shared his burritos with him on purpose) because Tyrone can't be stopped and tells you to guard Cotton. On the first play, Cotton makes the ESPN highlight dunk of the day, jumping over your head while you stand there like a 'ticket paying statue' trying to guard him and you now become a poster-child. That night in the comfort of your own home, you turn on the tube to relax and catch up to other games only to watch that very dunk repeated on every solitary sports channel you watch. The next day you become famous in a negative way being featured on a public poster displaying Shoelace 'leaving you like a tree' with a sick crossover as you are tripping and falling as if being controlled by a puppet-master. Try not to think about it.
