high-upside Virginia Tech guard with proven prep pedigree
Cooke arrived at Virginia Tech as a highly regarded 6-foot-3 guard from Nansemond River, where he was a three-year starter, a first-team all-state pick as a junior and senior, and a 26.1 PPG, 9.6 APG, 6.3 RPG senior performer in the 2004 season. His profile points to a combo guard who can score, create, and rebound from the backcourt, with recruiting services ranking him among the nation’s better point guards in that class.
