Cook released this statement on his decision to On3’s Joe Tipton.
“I would first like to say thank you to Coach Altman and the entire basketball coaching staff at the University of Oregon for believing in me.
“I am grateful for their support as well as the fan’s. However,after much consideration and talks with my family, I have decided to reopen my recruitment. During this time I will weigh other options in addition to The University of Oregon.
I look forward to the continued support as I embark on this journey.“
Cook has been committed to Oregon since late March. Originally Kentucky and Gonzaga were his other finalists before deciding on Oregon.
Oregon is now left with a single commit in the 2023 class, West Linn’s (Ore.) point guard Jackson Shelstad.
