Back on March 9, five-star forward and Portland native Mookie Cook revealed the top three schools remaining in his recruitment, a list that included Oregon as well as Gonzaga and Kentucky.
Now, Cook revealed through the social media account of recruiting analyst Joe Tipton that he is planning to make his announcement during halftime of the Geico Nationals game on Thursday, which is set to tip-off at 3:00 PM PT.
Cook is from Portland but played high school ball at Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona. He is a 6’7 small forward ranked No. 4 in the Class of 2023. Currently, the 247 Crystal Ball predictions lean toward Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks, which would be a massive pickup for next year’s recruiting class.
There are also (unsubstantiated) rumblings that Cook could attempt to reclassify to the class of 2022, allowing him to potentially join a class alongside a pair of five-star recruits Kel’el Ware and Dior Jordan – which would make up the most impressive recruiting class in Oregon basketball history.
