Cook transferred because he was behind Gaines on playing time and both were freshman. I


They were recruiting, and pulled, multiple guards out of the transfer portal at or around that same time. Pinson & Adam Miller.

Gaines wasn’t really an issue.

Jalen cook has proved to be better than all of these players.

Miller wasnt coming here until a bit after Cook entered the portal. He committed May 1 and Cook entered weeks before that.

Pinson was to replace Smart leaving.

Cook was never forced out here and is just a narrative people run with for whatever reason. He was behind Gaines and both were in the same class, he decided to get more playing time elsewhere because he was an all offensive type of player and Wade wanted to play more defense than he had been in the past and Gaines filled that role better than Cook. That was always the issue with Cook.
