And to note Cook won Louisiana Gatorade player of the year over Beekman as well. 

Not to slight Beekman, they would both look good in P&G, he averaged a TRIPLE DOUBLE for crying out loud. He was never going to come here, not a native.

Im not sure I believe Wade wanted "Cook over Beekman." Beekman is ranked higher on every recruiting service and they both had offers. That being said I think the staff should be fine having Cook instead. Cook and Walker actually gave Beekman and SLV one of their only losses last year and Cook had 40 in the game. I honestly feel like Cooo may be badly underrated at this point, in part due to his size. But youre right. Beekman is from Wisconsin and had no strong ties to Louisiana so getting him would always have been tougher.
