2020 RB/ATH Mookie Cooper names Michigan to top 10
It's been a slow couple days on the MGoBoard, so I'm going to throw out a recruiting tidbit. St. Louis (MO) Trinity Catholic running back Teriyon "Mookie" Cooper named Michigan to his top 10 yesterday. He's a 4-star, the #5 athlete, and #85 overall. At 5'9" and 186 lbs., he's smaller than Zach Charbonnet and I think would make for a nice 1-2 punch, but he could also play in the slot.
The rest of the top 10 is Nebraska, LSU, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Missouri, and Alabama. The crystal balls are all for Texas right now, so Michigan has an uphill battle.
Here are his Hudl highlights (LINK).
TBH, I just want a guy named Mookie to play for Michigan.

I can hear the "Mooooooook" or "Cooooooooop" crowd chants already
December 25th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
and every announcer for every home game, That's not a boo, they're saying coooooop, for 3-4 years. hehe :D

Thanks for posting, Magnus.
I bet Texas will have a battle to hold on to him.

Thanks Magnus! Go Blue Mookie!

Off topic... Is there another site people go to for 40/shuttle times? Cuz 247 doesn't always have them. I keep searching and sometimes find, but not on one site.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.

The best place to visit is the player's Hudl page.
247 used to do a better job of keeping up with those things (and stats), but since they redesigned their site/coverage, a lot of that stuff has disappeared.

I like going to your web site. I just wish you had more posts. And maybe even a forum, a board, where commenters could make posts.

I need to start going there more too. Used to go quite a bit, but haven't this season.
If for no other reason the scenery. :)

I do have a message board. It's just not frequented very often.
December 25th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
Thanks Magnus. Not sure why, but I go to HUDL with blinders on, looking at video. I need to poke around a little bit more there.

2020 WR Julian Flemming, 5 Star, #15 overall for 2020, has Michigan in his Top 10.

He has a very impressive offer sheet. But it already looks like he's leaning toward Penn St or Ohio St.

He seems to play like a TE.

Impressive offer sheet for the #15 player in the nation eh?

Fleming and Mookie would be great gets. Fleming is a beast of a WR. Mookie has "SEC speed".

Frost is going to get Nebraska good.

Another example of Michigan targeting small twitchy athletes on the offensive side of the ball. I truly believe this is intentional and different than the way Harbaugh had been recruiting. I think he’s interested in at least incorporating some of what they are doing in places like KC and New England, Air Raid etc, and even what the Buckeyes did this year.
I also think that this was what Jim is looking for with the McDaniels hire.

Maybe I’m just a grinch, but I have a hard time with the trend of recruits making a “big announcement” of their top ten or more potential schools. Wake me up when Michigan makes the top three!
Gripes aside, he’s definitely a fit on the all-name team. I wish him better fortune than Mr. Blaylock.

It's more of a top 9... Putting Missouri on there I'm sure is just a locality obligation to maybe keep mom and dad happy...
December 26th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
Even if he were a pedestrian 3* I'd be all in for Mookie to Michigan.
December 26th, 2018 at 3:54 PM ^
History has proven time and time again being on a recruit's top ten list almost guarantees that Michigan will land him come signing day. Take this one to the bank along with all the others.
December 26th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Still think McDoom could have contributed this year. Sorry he left
December 27th, 2018 at 6:24 AM ^
Agreed.
