Nothing unreal about  actually watching them play on the same field together and saying they were almost indistinguable. Both small, skilled players who looked good . They are obviously at different stages of their college career given one is in first months practice  and the other is entering  his third year.  Cook obviously will develop further and be on the field this season in some capacity but talk of handing him #22 or anointing him a  Rice seems premature until he actually performs as hoped.

Didn't many lament for  years handing  #22  to Evans, the  #1 prospect in the nation?  Good player who could never match the hyperbole bestowed upon. What is real is that almost every fan salivates over every top fifty prospect and their credentials only to go silent on many. I personally believe that Cook will be very good but willing to wait.

As far as Nelson, he owns a nice h.s. resume and his fall play has been a pleasant surprise to date understanding his college results elsewhere have been negligible.
