Cooper says Tennessee, Baylor tried to get him to transfer after his freshman season.

Yes they did. Surprised it took this long to  come out.


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

Is Baylor in trouble now, too?  Boy, I love Cooper's quotes.  That's the kind of attitude that makes me so admire this young man!

I used to think that Bruce Pearl was a good guy who broke the rules more or less by mistake. I was mistaken. Bruce pearl = serial violator. Show cause penalty = justified

I remember seeing Bruce Pearl say that the first thing he said to his assistants when they watched film on OU  was "who is this Cooper kid and why didn't we recruit him?" What a sleezebag for thinking he could still get him. And good for Coop for staying loyal.

curious though, why is this coming out now and will it be a distraction?

Don't think it will matter much, but don't like the timing as well. I think Groce will squelch it early and will tell Coop not to address it anymore.

The truth is the truth.  If Coop is asked about it again, I expect him to tell the truth.  I think it's good that it has come out, though it's surprising that it didn't come out before this.
