Lenny Cooke Documentary

[aceboon]

Jonathan Hargett was an unbelievable talent, it's sad what happened to him. Shea Cotton is another one, kid was a legend since freshman year in high school. Ronnie Fields was teammates with Garnett in Chicago and Fields was better at the time. he broke his neck falling asleep driving on the highway. There are a lot of amazing players who never made it.

There's a trailer for a Schea Cotton documentary on youtube, doesn't seem like it ever got released tho. There's also a doc on Fields but I didn't want to cough up the dough to watch it online if it was trash.

Schea Cotton was unbelievable in high/prep school. I used to go and see him play at T-More and he was a man amongst boys. I'm still shocked he never became a huge star.

"…he's doing just fine"?? Anyone know how and where the kid is doing fine? UConn recruited Schea with little hope of getting him if I remember correctly, because he was so damn good!

Also the Lenny Cooke story, is that one of the 60 minute stories on Showtime…..I want to find that On Demand…...

We were in his final three... I believe he went to NC State originally and then ended up at Alabama. I think we backed off at some point b/c there was a lot of baggage there. But holy crap was he good in high school.
