Remember reading about this dude in SI in '94 or '95. He was going into his sophomore year of highschool. This was before Garnett made the jump and they were talking about Cotton being the first to do it in the modern era. Don't know all the specs of his story but think he got chewed up by the system. It's cool that he doesn't seem bitter, and he comes across as an articulate dude. Hope he gets whatever he's looking for.
@whiteflash1323 - My basketball team, my senior year, missed playing against Schea when we lost against (I think Fairfax, barely, but we still lost). Our assistant coach was scouting Schea team to look at defense should we have moved forward. Our coach described him as getting tired of dunking on the other team, so he went out and shot 3 pointers. I was told later his grades hurt him from playing further, however he could have played NBA easily. This was 94-95 season.
@ginogeno Well, unless he left after his soph year of HS he couldn't have been the first. Garnett came out in '95, and Cotton was class of '96. But, I agree that he got fucked by the system.
