SG Daequan Cook (2009 NBA 3-point Shootout Champion)

[Bestbuck36]

They just had a bit on channel 7 in Dayton last night about Cook. Watching him practice I think he made 9 shots in a row from different spots on the floor. He glides when he jumps, dunking effortlessly and sees everyone on the court. He could put OSU basketball back in business!

Moving this to the recruiting forum as the first real recruiting thread for Basketball.

SCOUT

Per latest update:

“It’s really been about the same as most of the same schools remain in the picture,” Powell told Bearcat Insider. “It’s really Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wake Forest. Cincinnati is still involved.”

He will be on a unofficial visit to tOSU on 27 Feb.

I am guessing and hoping that rivals has not been updated but i just looked their and it said that daquen cook is not even thinking of us, if you look at his list of favorites

RIVALS

"Ohio State is at the top of my list," he said flatly. "They're up there with North Carolina and Wake Forest. I mean, I have just as much interest in Ohio State as I do Wake Forest and North Carolina."

Cook says he is high on tOSU and that he intends on deciding on a school this summer or later. He is also considering Michigan and Cincinatti, but the bearcats could be fading.

This guy goes to college, not a doubt about it. And I also think he's an OState guy if he stays in the midwest. The only school to worry about here is the Tar Heels. That's it.


Come this summer, I see this thread getting a lot bigger here, and on Bucknuts. There is no difference between Daequan and Hairston. He's an absolute must get.

wake forest is as big a threat, if not a bigger threat than the tarheels.

Cook and Conley have expressed interest in playing together in college. Conley and Oden also would like to play together. I think tOSU and Wake are the only two schools they all have in common. WF is an annual basketball powerhouse...they have to be considered the team to beat in this recruitment.

[charleswoodson2]

there is no way oden figures into any of this college talk. if he went pro this year he would be the #1 pick most likely. i see cook coming to michigan where he belongs and conley going to wake leaving tOSU in the cold.

I disagree....not because I am an OSU fan but if you even read their updates, SCUM is in the mix but, in reality it is tOSU and Wake. Its going to be one of those two schools period. As far as Conley, here is his latest update:

"Ohio State is at the top of my list," he said flatly. "They're up there with North Carolina and Wake Forest. I mean, I have just as much interest in Ohio State as I do Wake Forest and North Carolina."

Its to early to tell on Conley, but its going to be a battle.

Oden has said in the past that he is going to college up to this point, but obviously things can change.

I thought that quote was from Cook?

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

oops...here is the quote from Conley....kudos Gman.

“We both like Wake Forest and Ohio State. I know I want to play with him and he wants to play with me.” (Daequan Cook)

have some green chicklets...

I think it is worth noting that Wake just got a commit this weekend from Jamie Skeen, 6-8 215 lb. from Charlotte. He is listed in the Rivals database as the #24 SF in the country and the #93 player overall. In the Scout database, Skeen is listed as a Top 100 player. Most of the Wake gurus think they will have 6 schollies for the 2006 class, of which they will use 5. For what it's worth, most of them are already counting Conley as a part of the 2006 haul.

Wake also got a three-star SG in the 2005 class...Harvey Hale from Albuquerque, NM, ranked by Rivals as the #45 SG and the #148 player overall.

From the Wake Site......a list of their targets for the 06 class, which includes Cook, Conley.

Cook has not named a leader but lists tOSU, Wake, Michigan, North Carolina and Cincy.
