Message: [QUOTE="nyhuskies13, post: 2168909, member: 4134"] Again, the comparison was purely based on attitude and approach - especially these past two years. Cooke also loved the spotlight, listened to the wrong people, and attempted to take an easier route to the NBA because he thought he 'should' be playing in he league. Would be silly for either of us to predict where he'll be in 3years. But if he doesn't mature and become a professional soon, I don't think it's unrealistic to think he won't be in the NBA after his guaranteed rookie contract. We all wanted him in a Huskies uniform - mostly because of the time, money, and effort spent recruiting him and his potential. This turned into a blessing in disguise - it might have really forced the AD to look at Ollie if Hamidou pulled this off at UConn during this particular offseason. [/QUOTE]
