Everything points to Cook being an effective low-post presence and high-energy rebounder. Cook averaged 26.2 minutes per game, making 4.8 of 8.8 field goal attempts a night (54.4%), and only 2 personal fouls per game last year, fouling out only against Mercer and Iona. Cook grabbed 3.3 offensive rebounds per game and 5.2 defensive rebounds (8.5 RPG). Cook is a career 252-404 from the charity stripe (62.4%).
When formally announced or confirmed, the 6’9” Cook will join a Hoyas front court with 6’10” Akok Akok and 7’2” Ryan Mutombo.
