Tyler Cook had a big game yesterday

[redbirdhawk]

Did not know he injured his back in December. Nice write up about Tyler and his Chaminade team's game against SLUH (St. Louis University High) http://www.stltoday.com/sports/high...cle_14a6dd0a-c7a4-11e5-b4c6-cbffb4090299.html

I expect Tyler to start early on in his Iowa career.

6'10"?

 

[redbirdhawk]

Yeah, I thought that height statement was a bit off. Wish it were true.

 

[Quintana]

6'10"?

no way, unless he's grown.

AJ is 6'5" and i don't think there is anyway Tyler has 5 inches on him. I'm guessing closer to 6'8"? That said the kid is physically mature and seems to be college ready.

 

[BBHawk]

6'10"?

Weird. Listed as 6'10" in the article but 6'9" in the box score.

"The 6-foot-10 Iowa-bound Cook went for 17 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and two blocks. He had a mean left-handed jam in traffic that punctuated the afternoon."

This. I like this.

The future for Iowa's bigmen looks bright! Cook, Kriener and Pemsl will be fantastic additions to this Hawkeye team.

Cook is listed as 6'9" and 253 on his school's roster. I suspect that once he is freed from being Tatum's Robin, he will become a proficient scorer in our offense.

TK said 6-7 to 6-8. Hope Kreiner at least is a legit 6'10".

Take about 1 1/2 inches off AJ's hair and Tyler is 3 inches taller. Than have Tyler stand up straight instead of leaning over and I could see 6-9 or 6-10.

I"m really glad Cook measures in at 7'1" cuz he'll be the perfect replacement for Woody!

 

[MNHawk]

I think you guys are actually looking at this picture wrong - AJ is 6'8" in shoes and Cook is 6'10" when he stands up straight.

 

[Colorado_Hawk]

253lb?? More like 223lb

 

[Quintana]

253lb?? More like 223lb

i don't think i'd bet against the bigger number. the guy is thicker than he looks with a strong base. by the time he graduates he is going to be a full grown beast.

Take a look at his legs alone.....a couple of bills there? Talk about tree trunks for a base. And Tyler gets a ton of spring upward with those legs.
