(REALLY) Small connection, but Cockburn will be playing for the same AAU team (NY Rens) that Malik Martin is.

If we can get a commit from Martin, it could strengthen our case just a little bit to land this guy.

Hardest part with Juiston is how clamped down he keeps his recruiting process. Not tweeting heavily about it, no "Top 3" like a lot of other recruits usually have. Good for him keeping this close to his chest but it's gonna drive every fanbase following him up a wall.
