(Tucson, AZ) The Pima Community College men’s basketball team added to its 2020 recruiting class.
Cooper Burbank, a 6-3 guard from Chinle High School, signed with the Aztecs. Burbank and his fellow Wildcat teammates were featured on the Netflix miniseries “Basketball or Nothing,” in 2019.
Burbank, a four-year starter for the Wildcats, is the program’s all-time leading scorer with 2,207 points. He played in 30 games as a senior and averaged 23.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.8 steals.
Coach’s Quote: “Cooper is bringing his fast paced high school play to the Aztecs’ fast paced style of play,” Pima Assistant coach H Hendrickson said.
