Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 5617288, member: 362"] Oh no! How will replace Cook's 2 td's, suspect hands and ball security, lack of effort in routes or knowledge of the playbook??! Surely we cannot hope to replace a player that broke 0 tackles and constantly got tracked down from behind and looked winded!!? It must be about money!! I suggest anyone that thinks this is a massive loss due to his 5 stars 3 years ago goes and actually watches his highlights. Even on many of his catches the ball is constantly being stripped end of play but still count because he was luckily ruled down or the fumble bounced out of bounds. His long catch at Clemson he had a 5 yard head start and got tracked down easily by 2 DBs and a 1 legged JRS from behind before being stripped end of play. He couldn't outrun UCONN defenders nor break their tackles but I think the most telling thing about him is what he didn't do vs Colgate. He caught a crossing route and couldn't get the edge to turn up feild by outrunning Kenny freaking Langston. Not a knock on Langston but he's 6'0 200 lbs SS and had a reported 4.74 40 on his own hudl recruiting highlights. Guy didn't even have a profile on major recruiting sights. Surely an "elite 5 star athlete" shouldn't be be brought down from behind by him. This is all on Cook's mid-season highlight reel on YouTube. We gave Cook a chance to prove his worth and he certainly did so. It's just not anywhere near what his entourage or stargazers think it is. He showed nothing that isn't easily matched or surpassed by existing or incoming players given the same chances and only showed effort when he decided to be interested. Will be extremely curious to see where he ends up with his contract demands as coaches will see the same in film. [/QUOTE]
