IF Cook has committed, which kinda seems far fetched to me. The kid acted like he wanted to announce at the prime time slot at the UA game, so Im not sure if this is accurate just yet.
IF he has, so what? Im not saying not landing 5 star kids like him doesn't hurt to some degree, but really? We cant land them all, but we are getting more than our fair share of the Local talent. Sooner or later, all of these 5 star kids will want to be Canes and stay home. We will work back to that!
My reason for optimism, We still have the best RB out of SoFl from 2 seasons ago. Duke Johnson, when healthy is a total game changer, we have a capable backup in Dallas Crawford, A big back that is learning how to use his size in Gus. Soon we will add 1 of 3 best RBs in SoFl. We all seem to forget that Miami Central chose Yearby to start at the prime position in that Offense. Cook was a utility guy/split out wr. By no means am I throwing shade on Cook, but lets be real, if you're the best, you should do what Yearby was doing. We also have a good player in Powell as well, the kid seems like a winner to me because he will be able to do a lot of things, like punt/kick returner, possibly play defense or be an extra athlete to have in the game when we need a big play.
I don't believe in melting down, and neither should some of you guys on this board. Our staff is doing a great job in recruiting and we are getting some awesome talent. Lets take a look at how our recruiting is going to take off next year when we are totally free from the threat of sanctions.
