Mookie Cook, the talented Oregon basketball forward, has made a surprising decision regarding his commitment to the Ducks. Contrary to the initial statement, Cook has actually decided to leave Oregon and commit to the San Francisco Dons ¹ ².
This news comes as a shock, especially considering Cook’s initial commitment to the Ducks. The 6-foot-6 forward from Portland, Oregon, was a highly touted recruit, ranked as the 21st prospect in the ESPN top 100 and the 40th ranked prospect by 247Sports ³.
Cook’s decision to transfer from Oregon may have been influenced by various factors, including playing time, coaching, and personal reasons. Despite being a consensus four-star recruit and a McDonald’s All-American, Cook’s playing time was limited during his freshman season due to injury ³.
The San Francisco Dons, on the other hand, offer Cook a fresh start and a new opportunity to showcase his skills. As a talented forward, Cook will likely be a valuable addition to the Dons’ roster.
It’s worth noting that Cook had initially de-committed from Oregon in June 2022, only to re-commit to the Ducks a few months later ⁴ ⁵. However, it seems that Cook has now made the decision to move on from Oregon and start a new chapter in his basketball career.
As the college basketball landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Cook’s decision impacts both Oregon and San Francisco. One thing is certain, however: Mookie Cook is a talented player who will undoubtedly make a significant impact wherever he plays.
