...and never will be.
That is all.
That is all.
Cook is not NBA material
- Thread starter LaQuintaHawkeye
- Start date
Neither will anyone else on this team..... who cares they got the dub
What was up with laying on the floor and needing to go to locker room? I watched that replay 5 times and from all angles it looked like he threw his head back himself and no one touched him.

Thought the same...pride was hurt more than anything
Cook's not a very good shooter outside of 3 feet. Needs to have a jump shot to play in the NBA. Layups and dunks won't cut it unless you're Shaq. Especially now when you have to beat teams like Golden State.
That was your takeaway? What about having the most unathletic team in the Power 5? That is my takeaway.
What an asshole thread.
It looked a little as if he might have caught a little elbow going up didn't it? Didn't look bad though, maybe he's thinking of going into acting if the nba does work out
Agreed. They did just win a tough game, and we are stull undefeated. And Cook is still our leading scorer.

Bear seemed pretty clutch tonight. Nice to have a lot of potential clutches
Cook is so clutch he choked 2 fts right at the end. Brutal.
Agreed as well. What’s the point in starting a thread railing on the guy?
He had an off game offensively, but had 5 offensive boards including a huge one late.
Sorry he didn’t make his free throws. Get over it toddler.
3 defensive rebounds for the game. Thank heavens Joe W understands what needs to happen to win. Dumb turnovers and bad shots from our “experienced” players.
I’m not a big fan of Cook. Major acting job there, then made it worse by going to the locker room. He’s very much about Tyler Cook. I don’t know that we wouldn’t be just as good with Kriener getting his minutes instead
When Cook dribbles the ball, then he is a turnover
waiting to happen. He needs to work harder on his
free throws. He does not play smart and gets silly
fouls.

He was just frustrated tonight he will adjust and be back but he needs to dominate the paint going forward
Exactly. Cook is the teams best player and after a tough win to move to 6-0, we have a thread bashing him. Predictable but sad.
Chumps like you would be singing a different tune had Pitt made that bunny at the end to win. Admit it.
Also, if the referee hadn't jumped on top of Cook, he was already kind of "swinging" at a Pitt player. Imagine that ending.
Maybe he was tired of all the flopping Pitt was doing and the refs rewarding them.... thought he would give it a try.... hope he’s not a drama major
Does it really matter? Kid is tring to chase his dreams and your here posting this shit after a sub par game from him.
He is not going to be on fire every game. He still improved from last year and honestly he should be back his senior year to finish his degree.

My biggest concern was our staff’s inability to get the ball inside to Cook on the block. Some many of our fans assume TC just gets to freelance. If true, that’s on Fran. We should have been hammering the ball inside and did not. The constant railing of TC is ridiculous. He’s not perfect, but I’m having a tough time finding a player that is on this roster.
Should we start a thread titled “Bohannon is not an NBA player”? Kid has NBA aspirations and for some reason half the people want to use that as a slam at every opportunity. Nothing wrong with having aspirations.
Its one game people. The best opponent we've faced so far. This is really annoying.
These posts that consistently point out he's not NBA material are not simply due to one game.
Let's see:
1) No outside shot - didn't have it last year either
2) Sloppy with the ball - same as last year
3) GREAT DUNKER - same as last year
4) defense - well, jury is out, maybe he's focused more on it, I'm not sure yet
5) Puzzling offensive sequences at times - trying to "prove" it.
Definitely nothing wrong with having aspirations, he has been pretty up front about that. There is also nothing wrong in pointing out the areas where he isn’t cutting it. Unfortunately, last night, there were many including lack of composure. He appears to me to still be inconsistent in getting his game figured out. They are trying to showcase him bringing the ball up and creating more. Results have been suspect at best.
As for Bohannon, I’m not sure why you’re bringing him up. He gets CRUSHED on this board regularly, far more than Cook. Case in point, "Bohannon can't guard anyone" thread.

He took a light elbow to the face and I think he was trying to flop his way into collecting a foul,... With all the flopping Pitt was doing he probably thought he could get some of that action too....
You mean putting your head down, loosely holding on to the ball, and bull rushing a defender isn't what NBA players do?
Debatable. Oregon was better on paper, but they did play us without their FR stud...and even UConn appeared to be playing really well just prior to our game.
Calm down Dolph.
PS - I think you're right. I could also get on board with Tyler cutting his (pretty poor) acting down a notch or two and just play.
