Palo Verde grad Cotton knows basketball talent
Palo Verde High School grad Bryce Cotton, now playing for the Utah Jazz, last week tapped out a Twitter message that said “Tucson around 2010 might have had the best overall talent our city has ever seen.” He knows. Eleven players from his days as a Tucson ballplayer reached Division I: Terrell Stoglin, Maryland; Michael Perez, Nevada; Sama Taku, Pacific; Tim Derksen, San Francisco; Lester Medford, Baylor; Jan Maehlen, Pepperdine; Ajak Magot and Andre Hatchett, Idaho State; Brandon Burnett, Indiana State; and the Arizona Wildcats’ Matt Korcheck. Cotton played at Providence.
