Class of 2023 WR Johntay Cook (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (5/1/25)

[anomander]

Quinta Funderburk?

or the Standford CB that visited Cuse
last week and ended up going to Arkansas for probably more money.

 

[bnoro]

Hope he goes to Arkansas. Less headaches for Fran

Oh I forgot he went to Arkansas

 

[RyanCuse44]

If this becomes about money, we should probably not even entertain a bidding war. The focus should be which place will support him in getting his life together again.

Unfortunately the portal doesn't work that way. They don't give a crap about the latter, which I agree is more important.

 

[Offthedome]

Any word from anyone on how this visit went?

 

[crales44]

Arkansas board thinks he's theirs. Is that because he is really heading there or because they assume as the only SEC school he's considering that he's theirs by default isn't clear. His interview about his Arkansas visit was lukewarm at best, but that may just be his personality.

[RF2044]

Whoa.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Any word from anyone on how this visit went?

I'd guess it went well.

 

[djorange1989]

Wiltfong says it, it happens, we got our new WR! Hopefully he does what he needs to do on and off the field

 

[GoSU96]

Not interested in the program being filled with problems, but I’d think the kid will be on double not secret probation.

Also tells me Russell is just another guy.

 

[baggerbob]

If this kid gets here and doesn't buy into "DART", is Fran going to compromise or will he get rid? Because once you compromise your values things unravel.

I think Fran showed with Pena that if you don't fit his principles you need to go somewhere else.

 

[sufan59]

This guy has sky high potential. I hope the message is understood and he gets to work. Many many millions is possible for this player in his future if he goes all in on DART. 4.30 40 yard dash wide receiver is a nightmare for defenses.

 

[Whitey23]

Is this Hykeeem Williams' spot or are they both takes (if Williams commits obvi)?

 

[RyanCuse44]

I'd guess it went well.

But Fran had to set him straight first -

 

[RF2044]

So what type of player is this kid? What kind of wide receiver does he compare to?

I.E., is he a post threat like Zeed? A slot guy? A well rounded guy? Etc.

 

[CA Monk]

SU is a player now.
Fran has elevated us.
In recent times landing a guy like this would have the board in a frenzy.
Now it's more like business as usual.
Don't know what next year will bring, but we certainly aren't sitting on our hands and feeling satisfied w/table scraps.

When at Texas Xavier Worthy compared him to... himself.

Big track guy. But had a reputation as an elite route runner with outstanding body control.

 

[Ernj]

Be curious the details of the misdemeanor theft charge. Less than 2oz of weed shouldn't be illegal

What i read, Somewhat related...

He went to a smoke shop. Tried buying something and his CC was declined. He was asked to leave and he reacted by grabbing a key fob and leaving. When stopped by police they asked for the key fob to be returned and he refused.

Oh and, he was arrested for Marijuana possession in Pottsboro, TX...

 

[BANYC]

Is it official?

No BOOMS or DARTS posted.

 

[TheHaze315]

Is it official?

No BOOMS or DARTS posted.

Just the prediction from Wiltfong who, as others have said, is usually pretty spot on. Guessing it’ll be official official soon.

 

[hoopsupstate]

What is our roster situation? There’s been so much coming and going it’s hard to know where we’re at with numbers.

96 scholarships +-2

Fran won’t play him if he doesn’t buy in. Fran is gonna be Fran.

I don’t understand refusing to give up something you stole when you are caught red handed. I always gave some leniency when the offender cooperated. I hope he has changed and makes better life decisions from here out.
