futbolking 766 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Awesome. From what I am hearing, he has had several D 1 Schools showing interest. Lot of eyes on the G-Men this season. With College scouts in the stands, some of the other athletes have a chance to get recognized as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Found out that Cooke ran a 4.40 40 yard dash at a developmental camp in Charlotte back in March. Ran the fastest time of nearly 400 kids at camp. Has 3 D -1 Offers currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be quite impressive, considering his previous best official clocked time was 4.70... helendx60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that his best official time was 4.70. Must have ran backwards that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that isn't electronic and doesn't account for wind-aided times. A certain FBS school in Montgomery County used those tactics for years to crow about how their recruits could run the 40 in elite-level time.

I don't need a clock to see that he can fly. He ran faster than nearly 400 kids at this last camp, I assume they all used the same system. Not sure why all the doubt about his speed. If you have an eyeball in your head, you can see it. As a Graham fan, I for one am excited for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about Cooke running a 4.40 and the FACT that THS has a willing donor to put in turf and revamp the stadium, then I like my batting average. Sure hope he doesn't choose UVA though, that would suck. See Link Below. Cooke was #88 in Red. https://files.armssoftware.com/1537735/3de545a26a9b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take me a while, but I"ll be fine. Believe me, I have much more pressing concerns in my life right now then worrying about you one-upping me. As for the UVA bashing, that should come with the territory here. I have been given plenty of grief for being a WVU fan. Have a good day, sir.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Since I've apparently released the Kracken... A 4.40 electronic, non wind-aided, official time would put a recruit in the Top 10 of his position (in the entire nation). A recruit who has historically run official times in the 4.7 range, and who has run in the 4.5s in non-official sprints, isn't suddenly going to be ripping off 4.40 readings in an official time trial. If he ran an official 4.40, he would have a Hell of a lot more than 2 commitable offers. i an higher than most on T. Cooke. You can teach hands, and you can teach tackling and reading routes, but you cannot teach his shiftiness and elusiveness. He has D-1 "football speed", if the measurables don't bear that out. I think he projects better as a CB/FS, and I think he could be a decent D-1 contributor at the lower FBS level. See: Ponder, Ansel. But can we PRETTY FREAKING PLEASE stop falling into the trap of over-inflating expectation and measurables for local boys for the simple fact that they are local boys?!

Nowhere did I say it was an official time. Nowhere have I said he was an elite athlete. Fortunately, you have come along and put a negative spin on something that I was trying to put out there as a positive thing. He performed well at a Developmental camp and ran a 4.40 end of story and he has some D 1 offers on the table. Take it for what it's worth. If you want to be a big skeptic and burst everybody's bubble, far be it from me to shed some positive light on something. I have a special request for G-Man. Please drop the hammer on me. I'll support my team where I always have, up in the stands EVERY friday night for the past 42 years. I hardly if ever see some of you so called fans grace the place with your presence. Even when I lived 4 hours away, I made it to a few games each year. Bicker amongst yourselves. As mentioned before, I have a lot more pressing things to worry about. I enjoy positive banter, if I wanted to argue with folks, I would have stayed as a member of Virginia Preps. Go piss in somebody elses lemonade. Also, see you on the turf at THS in a couple seasons.

It isn't exactly a challenge to beat UVA. Doesn't mean that VTU hasn't lied for decades about their recruits' 40 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
