Scout Report
Standing 6-0 with a lean frame, this Connecticut prep school point guard is quietly building his foundation at one of New England's premier basketball programs.
Background
Cotton has landed at Salisbury School, a prestigious preparatory institution in northwestern Connecticut known for developing college-ready student-athletes. The Crimson Knights program provides an excellent platform for prospects to refine their skills while competing against top-level prep competition throughout New England. As a 2026 prospect, Cotton has positioned himself in an environment that emphasizes both academic excellence and basketball development.
Playing Style
At 6-0 and 158 pounds, Cotton possesses ideal size for the point guard position with room to add strength as he continues developing physically. His lean build suggests good mobility and quickness that should serve him well running an offense and defending opposing guards. Playing the point guard position indicates strong court vision and decision-making abilities, though he'll need to continue developing his leadership skills and basketball IQ. The prep school environment at Salisbury should help him refine his fundamentals while facing quality competition that will test his ability to run an offense against athletic defenders.
Recruitment
As an underclassman without reported offers yet, Cotton has ample time to develop and showcase his abilities on the prep circuit. The Salisbury School platform provides excellent exposure to college coaches throughout the Northeast region. His progression over the next two seasons will be crucial in determining his recruitment ceiling and eventual college fit.
