Commitment from 5-star Mookie Cook skyrockets Oregon Ducks near top of 2023 recruiting rankings

The Oregon Ducks were ranked No. 13 in the 2023 recruiting rankings before Mookie Cook committed. They skyrocketed after his announcement.

The Oregon Ducks landed a massive commitment on Thursday afternoon, signaling a huge win for Dana Altman and his coaching staff.

5-star small forward Mookie Cook announced that he would be coming home to the state of Oregon and playing for the Ducks in 2023.

Cook, who plays for Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona, is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 4 overall player in the 2023 recruiting class. With him now committing to the Ducks, Oregon’s prospects for next season have gone through the roof.

At the start of the day on Thursday, the Ducks sat at No. 13 in the national recruiting rankings, with just 4-star PG Jackson Shelstad — the No. 1 player in Oregon — committed thus far. With the addition of Cook, they now stand as the No. 2 class in the nation, behind only the Duke Blue Devils.
