Potential Transfers '14

His effective FG% was 56.4% and his true shooting% was 59.6% which are comparable to Naz (59.3% and 60.1%), but he shot 104 non-3P FGs where as Naz shot 39 non-3P FGs. If he is a pg or combo guard he would be a good prospect.

I watched a couple of highlight videos from OSU's league play last year. He wasn't starting immediately but by mid year became worked his way into the lineup and became the starting PG for Beavers. From the little vid I saw has a decent handle, though no where near as good as Monte or Clayton. He is a proto type combo guard, sort of reminds me of a taller verson McThree... effortless shot.

Note: This is general highlights of Oregon State's team vs UCLA not just Cooke (#3).

I would imagine that Fred would be very interested in a combo who hit 45% of this 3's as a FR. He hit a 3 in 13 straight games this year. That's pretty amazing for a FR who has a joke for a coach.
 
@TheRecruitScoop: Iowa St, Davidson, Auburn, Dayton, Butler, GTech, Minnesota, URI, Creighton, Rutgers & more inquired about Oregon St transfer Hallice Cooke.

Auburn is beginning to be more like Marquette a few years ago where we went after the same kids it seemed.

I have a feeling that Bruce Pearl is going to try to be Fred Hoiberg Jr at Auburn when it comes to transfers. He saw what CFH did so quickly at ISU while he was an analyst and it looks like he going to try to replicate that success.
 
Of course you want some experienced players and some talented players but it is much, much easier to get a player who is good and play them till they are experienced than it is to get someone as talented as Diallo, who is a top 5 or so talent in the country.

And what if Diallo were to come back for a 2nd year? It's actually probably more likely than not.

Why we take them both

Does anyone else watch this video and think this kid looks (body-wise) and plays a lot like SDW, only a little thicker, more aggressive, and more polished? If anything, I watch this highlight video and see the kid that I've always hoped and still hope SDW becomes.

@TravisHines21: Don't know if it's out there yet but Iowa State expected be one of the teams involved with Oregon State transfers Hallice Cooke, per source
 
His name was tossed around on here but I don't think we were ever involved.

@GoodmanESPN: Marquette has landed a commitment from BYU graduate transfer Matt Carlino, a source told ESPN. Eligible to play this coming season.

Those jumpers Cooke is making would go in in a lot smaller hoop. All of them are almost to the bottom of the net before they even hit net. Great range, too.
