Have you enjoyed all the videos in this thread?
it will be interesting to see what happens; i was kinda hoping he would early enroll, but, of course, he wanted to finish out his HS basketball career
safety is a pretty key position... just get him on the field
Don't know, but his reputation as a FB player is his schtick.
They finished 9th in the nation and won a New Years 6 Bowl Game. Worse than who?
its interesting he won National Player of the Year (based on the competition he faced)
Unfortunately Cooper never got to attend any of the high level football camps. All the Nike, Adidas and UA camps were shut down and the All American game was cancelled. It is impossible to tell how long it will take for him to adjust athletically but I am confident he will quickly.
Personally I think the tougher adjustment will be how he adjusts to the physical nature of the game.
I think Sash is a good comparison.

Have you heard anything through the grape vine if Fran has feelers out for a transfer for Center?
We have to get the National Player of the Year on campus, first.
I have a feeling we will see him in 4 games and that's about it.
We shall see.
Not so impressive, I used to do that on my Nerf hoop years ago.
16 days ago, on March 24th, I posted that he was running track. And my source? Cooper himself. Go up 6 posts and you will see that.
Thanks for the update. And don't feed the trolls in the duplicate thread.
Find a home for him...somewhere. Would LOVE to see him at TE. That said, a practice observer told me the other day Arland Bruce could be fastest player on team after watching practice, so there's that. I know wrong thread but carry on!
thanks for the track updates
i still wish he had early enrolled so that he'd be part of spring practices
i guess he wants to experience his entire senior year
Not a great time for 100 yards, but pretty good for 100 meters.
He has pretty decent speed but those time aren't going to turn heads. Its early in the track season. He will likely improve.
This.
Some need to tap the brakes a little.
I doubt he'll make the Drake finals in anything but maybe long jump.
You need to ask Santa for a trampoline this Xmas.
Saw he just one the Relays long jump and ran a 10.7 split in the 4x100. I think he is criminally underrated by the ratings services. Every bit the prospect Nwankpa is at safety.
Based on their performances in the Dome this year he’s a better prospect than Nwankpa. Can’t speak to it beyond seeing them there.
Better all-around athlete for sure. I went to school with a guy like Cooper - HS QB, starting G and a top scorer in BB, top 400m finisher at State, BB pitcher with a major college fastball and could hit with power .... he just (seemingly effortlessly) excelled at whatever sport he picked up; a real natural athlete.
DeJean is one of those unique type athletes that come around only so often. Hard to say right now if he can play the Safety position better than Nwankpa but no doubt he was under-rated by the commercial recruiting services. The Iowa staff is good at evaluating these under-rated guys, Reece Morgan hauled in quite a few.
