The "cope by blaming the source" trick isn't working - blame harder!

If true, this sucks but almost impossible to go a season with no injuries to key players. Is it a slam dunk that Cooper comes back for a redshirt year or would he try the NFL?

I think it is. Wouldn't be the wisest decision to try for the NFL rehabbing an injury through all of training camp and maybe part of the season.

I believe he could regular redshirt this season and medically redshirt the next season (or vise versa) if he has any setbacks in rehab.

You cannot make this stuff up. Unreal.

Edit: extremely concerning, especially because they moved him to CB because of a lack of talent there to begin with. Afraid we could see a Tayshawn James vs KU situation.

 

[Cyhig]

Still holding out hope, but as others said there’s too much smoke.

Next man up

 

[SolterraCyclone]

I feel terrible for Cooper if true. One of my favorite Cyclones. Had real NFL aspirations after this year I’m sure and was really coming into his own at corner. This derails that.

He either comes back (which I’m sure he wasn’t planning on doing) or he goes to the NFL but will be a lower draft pick.

 

[Gibbon]

Well.... he wouldn't go in the NFL draft would he? Probably will come back next year with his redshirt still available?

Not so much lack of talent at CB but excess talent at safety, but I get your POV. All this team knows is adversity after the true freshman walk ons from towns of 35 people starting in conference games all of last year

Put down the crack pipe. No, no true freshman walkon started last season.

There was no lack of talent at corner.

There was, however, a combination of lack of experience, surplus at safety, and a better NFL shot for Coop playing safety.

Pretty sure I could tweet out that Rocco cut his hand off in cooking class, and by tomorrow it would be retweeted across X, and people on here would have dozens of posts of people with 3 followers tweeting it.

It may be true, it may not be, but none of these so called sources have any info beyond reading it on twitter from other people that read it on twitter. The first person that started this rumor Yesterday, was a gag/troll account, that just posts garbage to stir the pot. I have yet to see anyone post any kind of source besides they "heard" it. Right, they read it on a gag twitter account and believed it.

Ok but is she saying this is a rumour thats false?

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Welp. Guess it's time to look forward to basketball season.

He is sooo important to this team and has been for the last 3 years. I remember knowing we were doomed when he was out against kansas 2 years ago. They abused his replacement.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Also even if true, we still have good depth in the backs room.

We have tre bell and no one else or cooper wouldn't have switched positions.

Quentin Taylor played 44 snaps against Ark St.

Well hopefully he proves he's good but he won't be cooper.

 

[bozclone]

Well hopefully he proves he's good but he won't be cooper.

He is depth. Bell and Williams should get the majority of the snaps. At least Taylor got some game experience and did ok for his first significant playing time.

 

[cyfan92]

Injury reporting in college needs a collosal update. The NFL does it right.

Also.... How crazy fun would a trade deadline in CFB be!?!?

You're being too optimistic. You can't lose 1 of your top 5 players and expect everything to be ok.i also am usually optimistic but this injury is crushing to the defense.

 

[bozclone]

Cooper is a big loss. He was playing at an all conference level but Bell has really improved and appears capable of playing a bigger role. Hopefully Taylor and maybe Coffey can show they are ready to play too.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

I still think clones win Saturday but maybe not by 10-14 points like I initially thought.
