Are they hurt? Not interested in playing this year? Being benched?

Collins is hurt, Cook fighting a hamstring so maybe is going to try to be 100 for SEC tournament but Trae H has played very admirable

Cook was cleared. He’s choosing not to play.

Have you never heard of the secret playbook? Russell Shepphard took it to his grave... or at least his house in the suburbs, not sure which...

Collins is likely getting a medical redshirt.

Cook isn't 100% and probably won't be until the postseason

CMM has always been very secretive it seems Re: injuries but from what I hear Collins has a legit injury but Cook not so much.

Cooks body language wasn’t great after he was pulled from the starting line up.

It’s been posted on here by a few that have said they have sources that Cook was hurt but was choosing not to play through it because he and his camp were upset with McMahon benching him. There is a difference between hurt and injured. Collins was injured. Hoping it’s not true. If Cook can come back healthy with the right attitude this team could make some noise in SECT and would set himself up for next year with the freshman as backup.

From what I hear....he's been cleared to play for a while but the reasons for which he's not playing, that situation ain't getting better.

Yea getting the feeling these guys thinking cooks is just injured are putting their head in the sand.

A lot of smoke that more is going on. It’s a shame because MM has started having a much better year after the bad start.

That’s sad to hear but if he’s not going to get with the program, then he needs to find a new home next year.

I think our team is better without Cook fwiw.

How good should Collins be when healthy?

Also, what’s the scoop on Chest? Why the redshirt?

Hannibal basically played on one leg the second half of the Kentucky game. And he did not want to come out. Quite the contrast.
