Scott's head track coach, Larry Garner, had nothing but good things to say about him.
"My son played basketball with Cade in third grade and Cade was a phenomenal athlete back then. He was clearly the best player on the court, He is still an excellent basketball player," he said directly to Tulane On SI.
Garner continued on by saying, "He ran track for three years and his speed/athleticism has improved remarkably over these year. He was a key component in the track team's regional championship this year and he capped it off with a state title in the long jump. So put that athleticism and speed along with his incredible arm strength and intelligence ... Tulane has just gotten a proven winner!".
Tulane is gaining an incredible young athlete.
