Cook had 17 points and five rebounds in the win. He went 7-9 shooting and 3-4 from the line. Jason Tatum went 13-22, so Cook maximized all the opportunities he got to score. I can't wait to see him at Iowa.
Tyler Cook State Championship

Can't wait to see wagner and cook play together. Finally some athletes in the post.
No. He's a strange guy to peg because he's a physically gifted big man that loves to finish at the rim. He's basically ambidextrous from 10 feet in as he can drive with either hand as well as shoot/finish....and has explosive 1st step. He needs to refine his game a lot but Fran has a wonderful canvas with which to work.
I almost got back and see Gerry Wright / Wayman Tisdale / James Worthy.

Wow... CW and Wagner look good from this current class. Moss and hutton roll over to next class and have Athleticism. Cook sounds like a guy Iowa never gets.
We need CW and Bohannon to play above their recruiting rankings. Getting a healthy 3pt shooting Jones back would be huge.
Next year we won't have the flirtation with B1G title, top ranking, but we will have a much younger group with a much higher ceiling to reach from start of season to end of season.
Cook may challenge Aaron White's dunk record
Would love to see it, but I think Whitey's dunk records will be tough to
beat, in our lifetime.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.
just give him a couple years.... Many of you will be calling him a gutless choker in no time

Unless one of them develops an outside game, I just don't see the two of them playing together very much. They have similar games. I think our offense works best when one if the bugs is a 3 point threat, like Uhl it Uthoff.
I hope the kid is great but you people are pinning a lot of hopes on him.
The last true frosh who came in and, to me, made a true impact was Marble, RIP, and that was 1986. White was darn good but didn't get drafted.

I wouldn't mind having two guys like that on the floor at the same time. Most games I wish we had ONE.
Um, what about Ricky Davis? He averaged over 16 points a game and got drafted in the 1st round of the NBA. I'd say that's quite an impact.
Plus Jeff Horner and Dean Oliver were 4 year starters. Kenyon Murray played well as a true frosh, Joey Range was pretty good as was Guy Rucker in his 1st year. Greg Brunner and Glen Worley made significant contributions as freshmen too. Roy is my favorite all time Hawkeye but there have been many freshmen since him that made an impact.
And Brody Boyd, even though he barely played in the regular season, went off in the BTT his freshmen year averaging over 20ppg and was a huge factor in why Iowa won the BTT that year and got an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney
Boyd was a cruel joke as a B1G guard at 5'9" and about as fast as Troy Skinner. You must be high!!!
White didn't get drafted? STFU before you lose all credibility.
It would be best to hope he isn't one-and-done Ricky Davis. Oh what might've been had he stayed.
He still had that run to win the BTT which was Iowa's only chance at The Tourney that year. While Boyd was a defensive liability he did lead the Big 10 in steals his senior year so your 'cruel joke' analysis is way off. Dude was a demigod in Indiana high school and no Troy Skinner in a good way. You must not remember history.
Too easy to remember the All-fraud years. DenverTurtle, you need a drug test.

I said Boyd average 20 ppg in the BTT after rarely playing during the regular season, as the stats you show support.

How dare you have such a cool name from such a great movie and such douchey things, take your own pee test bro.
I'll take that compromise. So it shall be settled this here in 2016 that since the great Roy Marble Ricky Davis and Jess Settles have also been truly impactful freshmen. Here here.
Brody's career stats were the real measurement of his time at Iowa under All Fraud, not some qualifier tournament over a couple of days. Brody, Glen and Jared Reiner were just blips and how that hyped class got to be a top 5 ranked unit was as fraudulent as the mortgage industry.
Career: 128 G, 7.4 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 1.4 APG
