COACH RAHE ON COTTLE: "Josh is a tough minded player who will fight you on every possession on both ends of the court. He’s tough physically and mentally and leaves it all on the floor. We looking for Josh to be an excellent defender, especially an ?on ball’ defender, and be a guy who can run our team and get the ball where it needs to go. He hasn’t played in three seasons so it may take some time to get the rust out."
