Pharoh Cooper Thread (2013 Signee)

[treyno2722]

He is ranked 27th in the state at a 4-star. Players 9-26 are all 3 stars. Does this mean Pharoh is now ranked 9th in the state?

Full rankings should be done by the end of the week. He should be a top 20 athlete.

Another example of our staffs superior ability to evaluate talent

They have updated the star ratings, but I don't think they've updated position/state rankings. I think that comes later in the week.

A 9 year old blind kid could tell you this dude is an elite talent.

Watching him in person makes it painfully obvious that he's BY FAR the best player on the field.

Tell that to all the star counters around here that think we will never win unless we recruit nothing but 4 and 5 star players.

Cooper is a four star. Should we drop him?

Just noticed that Brad Lawing was his recruiter. I know that UNC had been making a push for him recently, and now that his recruiter from Carolina has left is there any chance he may flip?

It's been said we have nothing to worry about, and I think I even read one time that he told his coach to ask other schools recruiting him to stop contacting him. Could be wrong though. Hope I am, because this dude is a hell of a player.

Will start off at CB and will get the chance to catch punts/kickoffs.

Actually, my only concern about Lawing leaving is Lawing's connection in that area. USC has gotten solid players from eastern NC that may have been overlooked somewhat by other schools. I know it is because Lawing knows the area well. As for Pharoah, I have no worries.

Good size! Can't wait to see him (possibly) on the field next season!

No chance they will look at him for WR?

[EveryThingGreen]
