5-Star SF Mookie Cook Commits to Oregon over Gonzaga, Kentucky, More

Mookie Cook, a top Class of 2023 prospect, announced his decision to attend the University of Oregon.

Cook chose the Ducks over teams like Kentucky, Arizona and others.

Cook told Eric Bossi that he has been having a great relationship with the coach. I have good relationships with both coach Mennenga and coach McKenna and they feel like I'm the priority.

Cook is a 5-star recruit and the fourth overall player in his class.

The small forward has good size for the position at 6'7'', 200 pounds, while his athletic ability allows him to finish inside with consistency. As his career progresses, he has a well-rounded offensive game that is only getting better.

Cook said a year ago that he plays both sides of the ball, offense and defense. I'm a team player.

Cook has an extremely high floor as someone who can score consistently in the paint while also being a quality defender on the perimeter because of his athleticity.

His play gained the attention of college coaches and led to dozens of scholarship offers, including from top programs around the country like Kansas, UCLA, Michigan and more.

He decided to play for the Ducks, giving the team a player who should make an immediate impact in his freshman year.

Cook might not be a go-to offensive option right away, but he should fill up the stat sheet while helping both ends of the court. It will be a stepping stone before the NBA draft.
