Recruiting - 2016


Recommended Posts

-there seems to be a thought that T Cook doesn't want to play locally, I've heard that a few places but don't know the origin, but Wednesday this might be confirmed

By 'locally' you're just referring to SLU, right? Because I get the idea Mizzou and Illinois are very much in the mix, arguably the two frontrunners.

I wouldn't be surprised to see SLU in there, but I'm not expecting it, either.

It's just nice to see him finally whittle this list down because he's been so quiet about his favorites so far as he racks up the offers.

Kansas

Mizzou

Illinois

Iowa

Then 2 throw always

Those seem to be the ones we hear about most often but do find it interesting that reason he isn't big on SLU is he doesn't want to stay local. It's not like there is school not easily drive-able on that list.

Wonder if SLU may stay on his short list just because of Tatum? If Tatum decides on SLU, do people think that could help maybe get him to stay? He does seem to go to a lot of games the past couple years.

-what Cook means by locally, if he actually said that, is what is important and since I heard this I really haven't followed his recruiting

-heck, if the tin foil hat is on perhaps our coaches put this word out if Cook told them he has no interest in SLU but that seems out there, as the hat implies

-we should know more when he posts his list

When you have all the leverage, it's understandable if a recruit wants to take his time. Cook can chill, sit back and see how Mizzou's season goes, how Florida rebounds after Donovan and if there's an early departure at one of the schools he's considering, and make a decision in the spring. He's not Tatum. He can't go to any school on his list and expect to start right away.

Tyler Cook's Final 6 (per twitter): Iowa, Iowa St, Virginia, Arkansas, Mizzou, Florida

Wonder why Mizzery is included? I thought he didn't want to stay close to home?

I just don't see him choosing them over the likes of Virginia and Florida, there's got to be a reason as to why he'd include them though....

Wow. That’s really interesting. Probably unexpected for KU and Illinois fans, particularly the latter.

Arkansas, Iowa, and Iowa State are no surprise, but I am a little surprised he’s sticking with Florida. I didn’t realize Virginia would be a player here.

I didn't have any clue who it would be but surprised by this. Thought Kansas would have been in it, didn't think Florida would with their coach just leaving and thought Illinois would have made it. Not surprised but disappointed SLU didn't make the final 6.

He didn't want to stay at home - close to home is different. He has a lot of Mizzou ties; I'd consider them the favorite, and I'm guessing most others following his recruitment would agree.

Florida has no coach, Iowa State is close to having no coach, Mizzou is death penalty eligible all the time.

Yea, I am not really sure why this is a shock to us. About 50-75 pages back on this thread, there was discussion that he wanted to get outta town. Not sure why there is any feeling at all that we "lost" this recruit. I might have missed a correction/update though...
