Chris Stock picks Cook to Miami

I will say this right now. IF we somehow manage to get Cook, its going to be for 2 reasons IMO. Duke and Yearby being hurt. If he comes here, I think he is probably thinking he may be able to blow past everyone on the depth chart. And Im not convinced that its not a real possibility. Duke's injury was no joke. He's not going to come back and be carrying the ball 30 times a game. Yearby is hurt, which could put him at a disadvantage for Spring. If Cook DID come in, as an EE, he is almost immidiately #2 behind Duke, with Duke still being hurt, and in rehab.

IMO, if he comes, that will be the biggest factor for his "change of heart".

If it happens, family will have had played a huge role IMO.

- He's still deciding on the 14th after his game. “I’m looking forward to it, I’m going to do it with the guys that I grind with every day,” Cook said. “I just want to announce it with them guys and share the moment with them.”

- He's very close with Yearby and it killed him when he got hurt last Friday. “It’s tough, I feel like we’ve been together all of our life, we grew up together. Joe, that’s my boy and without being with him on Friday, without 3 being next to me, it’s going to be a crazy feeling. But I just have to do everything for him now.” He doesn't want to have to carry the load but he isnt afraid of it

- AG, Hurlie and Coley met with him and fht family for 90 minutes even before Cook arrived. “It went good,” Cook said. “It’s starting to be crunch time and I’m starting to narrow it down because I’m an early enrollee. They are trying to get everything in and they just told me that they need me real bad.”

- AG did most of the talking and convinced Cook that he's needed. “I saw that they really, really want me and they need me down at the ‘U’,” Cook said. “I could see it in Al Golden’s face and with the way he used some of his words, he expressed it more.

- Cook also asked Golden important questions which he answered well. “I asked how they were going to use me in their system, that was my main question and they told me they use their freshmen a lot,” Cook said. “They were giving me a lot of other freshmen names like Stacy Coley and how they used Duke Johnson.”

- Cook received a financial aid agreement from UM so they can speak publically about him and contact him freely. Cook plans to sign it yet and here's something interesting, he hasn't received one from UF or FSU.

- Coley talked to him about how he's going to be used in the offense

- He wants to find a system that fits him perfectly. “The best system for me is the system that’s going to give me the most space for me to make plays and I feel the ‘U’ does that with Duke, they give him a chance to use his ability on every play they get him to touch the ball,” Cook said. “That’s a great system for me.”

- Cook has a really good relationship with Duke. He thinks Duke is a great person and he's been like a brother to Cook. he gives him good advice but doesn't try to lead him to any school he just wants Cook to follow his heart

- Cook has pressure to stay home but doesn't focus on it. “I grew up a Cane, my whole family grew up a Cane—who didn’t grow up a Cane? Sometimes you have to just do what’s best for you and you just can’t listen to what everybody else says because they’re not going to be out there at practice and won’t be there in the dorm with you so you have to do what you’re heart says and just block people out sometimes.”

- He's been discussing his decision hard with his grandmother and mother. “I talk to (my grandma) about it, but I really talk to my momma about it because she’s been through the recruiting process with my brother (Deandre Burnett) down there (at Miami) now. She knows what to say and gives me a lot of great advice.”

- His brother Deandre Burnett tells him UM is a great place and it's a place with a great college life for the next 3 to 4 years

- He will isit this weekend but will also be at one of the open practices to the public (fans can come and show him, Dixon and many others love).“They are going to be practicing this weekend and I really want to see how they get after it in practice and see what the running backs do and just spend time with the coaches,” Cook said.

- He is still committed to UF. He had a UF coach visit him for about half of the day Monday. “We just kind of chopped it up and talked, that was it,” Cook said. “They were talking about the new offensive coordinator they were fittin’ to get and they are going to change their system up a little bit and things like that.”

- He will focus on who the next oc will be because it will play a big role in his future and how he'll be used

- He's an ee so he has to hurry but he says he's being patient and letting everything play out

- Tim Brewster was there later. “We kind of chopped it up, we talked, he came for a little bit, he didn’t stay the whole time, but we talked and we of talked like we always talk--kind of on a personal level,” Cook said.

- He's happy that FSU is #1 because Freeman is there and he's happy for him and all around for the program as well

- Freeman says they will us him well by taking advantage of his strengths and put Cook in the best position to be successful

- One thING Trevor Darling said that the team will get with Cook is an explosive player

Yearby is going to be back in 5 weeks and I'm not sure of dukes timetable but off a conjecture I don't believe he will miss that much time. If we get Cook, it's because we won.

5 weeks my @ss. For what? Rehabbing sure. He's not going to be ready to play in 5 weeks. I dont believe anything a recruit's camp says at this stage after an injury. I dont doubt that the fracture may not be severe, etc.. but if the Doc said it might take 4 months, I doubt the family is going to say that, they will put the best spin on it possible. That's not to say that he may not be ready to play in the fall, just that between the injury, and Cook being an EE, he will almost certainly leapfrog Yearby on the depth chart.

As for Duke, we dont know what we dont know. That was a nasty break. He had surgery. Even if he does come back healthy, there is no way he's going to be able to handle 25-30 carries a game less than a year removed from a broken ankle and surgery. Whoever is #2 is going to be getting a LOT of carries.

I have no doubt there are other factors playing into this, but I just think its interesting that with Duke and now Yearby hurt, Cook is having this last minute coming to Jesus moment where suddenly we may have a shot, after having all but ignored us all year.
 
Im sorry but that ******* interview is MASSIVE!!! Im not saying he's coming but god**** I haven't seen him give anybody an interview that in depth

Hopefully this will give him a moment of "****, this don't feel right not having 3 next to me…"

God dammit that might be the turning point.

If Miami flips Dalvin Cook I'm going to lose my mind. Hate to see Yearby AND Cook rot down there.

ITS HAPPENING
