That’s TEXAS, a team that finished the year ranked #3 in the AP Poll. The only reason he didn’t start right away was because the two guys ahead of him were Xavier Worthy (1st round pick) and AD Mitchell (2nd round pick), both now in the NFL. Fast forward to 2024, another team that finished ranked #4 in the AP Poll. Cook was slated to start until two more upperclassman transfers showed up, Matthew Golden (1st round) from Houston and Isaiah Bond from Alabama, both now NFL players. Even then he still saw action in every game before his mid‑season dismissal. Then he came to Syracuse and was an unquestioned starter from Day 1. So yeah, I’ll take Steve Sarkisian’s and Fran Brown’s assessment of Cook’s talent over yours any day. [/QUOTE]
