Hillcrest Prep Academy 6-foot, 165-pound senior point guard prospect Virshon Cotton has seen his college recruitment soar this fall, and now another school has entered the recruiting fold.
On Friday, Cotton received another offer. This time Cotton received anoffer from a school in the Ivy League Conference, as Brown University gave an offer to Cotton.
Cotton also possesses division-I scholarship offers from UC-Davis, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah, NJIT, Robert Morris, North Dakota and Winona State.
Cotton is one of the shiftiest guard prospects in the West. A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cotton moved to the state of Arizona this high school season to play for Hillcrest's national high school team - an opportunity to play for one of the top prep programs in the country, and also play with the nation's top prospect, 7-foot-1 senior post DeAndre Ayton (University of Arizona commit).
Cotton continues to be in no rush to make a college decision. He also has not indicated a clear leader at this point in his college recruitment.
Our staff will continue to follow Cotton's recruitment closely, and bring you any updates as they continue to develop.
Arizona Hoop Review Scouting Report: Cotton is a very shifty guard prospect with a tight handle of the basketball and excellent quickness on the floor. His handle is very tight/precise, and he can frankly do whatever he wants to with the ball. He has blow-by speed off of the dribble and really is tough once he is in the lane (finishes through contact/ uses body as shield to score over bigger and stronger defenders). He is a capable shooter from 3-point distance (good lift), but really looks at his best when he is getting into the lane - looking for other players flashing to the basket. A good passer that sees the floor and enjoys finding the open teammate, Cotton also pushes the basketball up the floor at a high rate. An excellent on the ball defender as well with quick hands and feet. A complete guard and a solid mid-major prospect.
