But, I really think that it's a "legitimate" assigned project by a teacher to a student who is majoring in culinary arts. I don't see the NCAA having a problem with it. He also could get a "cooking project" and turn it in to his Sarasota teacher, who may visit the USF campus from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could cook in Tampa live while the teacher in Sarasota could observe him online as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is broadcast on the internet as streaming video or downloadable video to 2 or 3 of our campuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats I & II with teachers and class time... but generally Stat II is a telecourse at USF and I wonder if he is allowed to take classes at HCC under athletic scholarship?? That would be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shea Cotton was the highly touted little brother of a former Seth Greenberg standout, James Cotton, at Long Beach State. He was a consensus Top 5, All Universe, can't miss phenom recruit that had appeared as as a high schooler  in Sports Illustrated, Sport and a bunch of other mainstream sports media outlets. The kid could play... Naturally, every school was after him but Greenie's relationship with the Cotton family made us rumored heavy favorite. Shea Cotton visited USF and it appeared for a while that Seth would pull one of the biggest coup of the recruiting season for South Florida.  Based on his comments in the Trib and the old version of Rivals, his comments made it sound like USF was his clear leader heading into signing day. All he had to do was finish his Alabama visit which was hastily put together at the last minute. 'Bama really entered the picture very late in the game. However this is where the story turns. Cotton went to 'Bama and eventually committed to their sleeze bag, cheating coach. When asked by a Tampa Tribune reporter, what was the major reason for picking 'Bama over USF, Cotton said, "I committed to Alabama b/c the food at Alabama was awesome and I like to eat". So we essentially lost out on a bigtime recruit b/c  Alabama had better food services....that and the money Gotfried probably put under Cotton's pillow during his visit to UAT. The post-mortem on this story is that All Universe Shea Cotton never did anything special at Alabama and eventually left school early for the NBA.  Last I read he was playing in Europe or South America for a couple thousand bucks per game.

It was merely coincidence. Perhaps, though, that is why our food is better NOW.  ;D This is what I had in mind: USF has a great cafeteria (laughs) I know I'm talking about food, but I can really eat. (laughs) Football wise, they have a great practice facility." http://www.thebullspen.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=display;num=1089155552;start=3#3 We didn't land him though. He gave a verbal to Wake Forest.  :-/ PS: in THAT thread Leavittation also made a reference to Cotton: LeavittationJunior Tampa FL Gender: Posts: 2531 Re: A way to a recruit's heart! « Reply #2 on: Jul 6th, 2004, 7:44pm » Quote Modify -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey bring back Shae Cotton!
