Is Cook a better prospect than Duke?

[I'm Hurt Dawg]

Not sure if Cook is better, but it is interesting that Yearby has been the #1 TB on the team during their careers; Duke was the starter for most or all of his time at Norland (not sure if he started in his first couple years in HS).

If Cook is so much better than Yearby, for example, then why doesn't he start on his own team?

Been wondering about this.

Yearby played HS ball before Cook and was the better RB earlier on.


Yearby has better feet, vision and cutting than the other 2.

Can we talk about how deep our KR and PR return units would be.... yikes
Coley, Cook, and Duke.

I think Cook goes for 400 yards this weekend in the championship game. Will be interesting as this is the first time he will be lining up without Yearby in the backfield with him.

And how can you say Cook is faster when Duke ran a faster 40? This thread sucks, I want Duke Yearby, Cook, Powell, and Crawford all on the field!!

FIFY homie

From reading all the articles on both Duke and Cook, I thought Cook was a much superior athlete as well. However after I checked their results from the Opening which is a good comparison of what type of athlete they were at the same age, this is what I found: Cook is bigger and taller but Duke is the better athlete. Yearby’s measurable are identical to Duke but he is not quite the athlete.

It's pretty clear Cook is the better athlete going by this. I mean, 16 lbs heavier and only .04 behind in 40 time and .08 in shuttle is not a big difference.

I still maintain that at the same point in their careers, Duke is/was the better RB, while Dalvin might have more potential due to being bigger and close to the same speed.


Oh, and Berrios' SPARQ rating is ridiculous lol

Disagree. Duke is elite in all 3 areas. Yearby is a little behind but **** close.

Duke is better by virtue of being a cane already THAT ALONE.

IF Cook comes their respective numbers will answer this question.

IF Cook's numbers are better than Duke's we will be in for something TRULY special as Duke is off the charts.

However and importantly topping Duke is a huge feat in itself.

IMO Duke is not only an amazing RB, kick returner, receiver but he single handedly turned recruiting around at the U.

So in my heart DUKE IS THE GOAT at the U

Duke is good but Cook is AP........u aint catching him n his body can take hits unlike duke. More of an NFL back.

Wet trying 2 b serious here, so Duke is better than barry sanders? If Cook goews 2 fsu or uf hes still better than all our backs. The uniform doesnt make u great the players make the uniform great.

Yeah that dude Braxton is NOT to be messed with in the shuttle...dayum! Quick little ******.

I love Duke but does nobody feel he is slightly overrated ? I'm trying to think of one BIG game where he showed out, not against teams the soft acc teams

Shuttle. Y'all talking about shuttle when white man can't jump hit a 40" vertical.

My goodness that Berrios is one heady player. Glad we got a white heady player instead of an athlete

True freshman he had nearly 1000 yards. Not many true frosh can do that.

This season he had almost 1000 with 4 games left that he didnt play due to injury


Oh and he had 97 yards in 3qtrs vs the #1 defense in the country this year

Duke could've used a redshirt as most RBs should not named Adrian Peterson. But Duke has been balling

I guess you didn't watch the FSU game last month.

People who say this should be punched in the face. Duke is one of the 5 best RBs in college as a So.

Why should he have redshirted? He had almost 2100 total yards and 13 TDs in 2012. He was the best RB we had last year (and this year etc.) and looked **** good.
