Guys, I caught up just a little while ago with Huntington Prep (WV) three-star center Levi Cook. As most of you should know, with Joey Van Zegeren leaving the program, VT is now possibly looking to take a big man for the 2015 class. It's not a definite by any means and would probably require some shuffling around of a scholarship.
Right now, Cook is the only real definite offer. There's not a ton remaining, though there are some JUCO guys the Hokies staff is looking at. But as has been said before, it's usually difficult to get JUCO guys in to VT.
Cook right now has offers from VT, Pittsburgh, East Tennessee, Appalachian State and Drexel. He was a onetime West Virginia commit a few years ago, but both sides parted ways. Cook didn't want to go much into it.
Cook is originally from Beckley, WV and has a cousin in Roanoke and had an uncle in Christiansburg at one point. Cook has visited VT, for the Hokies' loss to Notre Dame last month. He said he still liked the atmosphere and how the crowd was really into it, even though VT lost pretty bad.
It doesn't sound like Cook has any favorites, but he also doesn't sound enamored with the Hokies. He said he likes his recruiter, assistant coach Steve Roccaforte, a lot and knows Buzz Williams can coach from his days at Marquette. "It's gonna be a good program," Cook said.
No plans to return to VT right now, but he is planning on taking official visits to Pittsburgh the first week of March, Missouri and South Carolina. Cook had planned to see South Carolina three weeks ago, but the trip didn't work out. He's already visited Pitt, in December. Still pretty open here, but odds simply ok with the Hokies right now. And again, they might decide they don't want to continue to pursue Cook. Kinda open right now in a lot of aspects.
