Well, not my fault, they only put it on the net yesterday.
I’m stunned, everytime I see a list of top impact transfers for this season and Mike Cook omitted. Seth Davis at SI.com at least got it.
Mike Cook | 6’4″ | jr. | G-F | PITT
Began at East Carolina and did the unusual: moved to a higher-profile program. Will make a difference once he learns to play Big East D.
He seems to be playing rather good D right now, but there is a wait and see on that aspect until at least Saturday.
Sports Illustrated college B-ball preview puts Pitt at #10. Behind G-town (#7) and Wisconsin (#9). Washington is listed at #14. The team preview is rather stock, focused on Gray.
For the record, although Pitt lost to Georgetown last year, Gray owned Roy Hibbert (few people saw the game because it was on Super Bowl Sunday). The performance was so dominating that Hibbert was benched in the second half as Thompson made a great adjustment by playing a small lineup. He forced Gray to matchup with Jeff Green at the 5 on offense and played a zone on defense. This year I think Pitt has the personel to combat such a move, especially if the improved perimeter shooting continues. Also Krauser had a few too many turnovers in that game as well. I think ultimately Georgetown will be a disappointment because of the loss of Bowman and the loss of their best perimeter shooter in Owens.
