What can you tell me about Graig Cooper?

[TheSwagger1]

I've read about him on the recruiting sites, but I was hoping to get an opinion on him from someone who has seen him live. He committed to Miami and I'm interested in hearing if you guys think he's the real deal and can play there.

 

Thanks for any response.

To tell you the truth I had my doubts about Cooper in the beginning. However I saw him play in a scrimmage against MUS at the beginning of this past season and was just wowed, and MUS had one of the better defenses in the state this past year. He would run over the first tackler and then juke another and out run the secondary, great instincts and a good runner.

He can play at any level. Maybe the best running back I have seen on a high school playing field.

He is for real, not that my opinion or anyone on this board would know better than the recruiters from Miami, they have limited scholarships and do not wasste them on people that might be able to play. their credentials are better than any you might run across on the message board.

I went to our (CBHS ) game against Melrose at Melrose. We stopped Graig Cooper because we stacked 8 men in the box, if I remember correctly. I will say this though, he's good don't get me wrong, but how good, I don't know.

Maryville faced a lot of good running backs this year. They faced David Gaston,Rommel Hightower,Dustin Lindsey,Chris Shiverdecker,Brad Walker,Darius Ewing and the young man from White County. All those young men are good backs. Lindsey is good enough to go to UT. But! I was more impressed with Graig Cooper than anyone.

 

Graig Cooper is tough. He runs hard every down. He can make you miss or run you over. Cooper has good speed but his main strength in my opinion is his vision and cut back ability. I would love to see him at UT.

copper has the utmost respect of the maryville high school coaches and players. When watching film on him he would cut it through any seam. NO mater if it was horizontal or strait up the feild. Great back hope to see him start at miami.

Swagger, I saw him play the best defense in the state in 4A and he gained 100 yards...pretty impressive. He's quick, elusive, not very big, but tough. Has good hands. Can catch and run both. Really good center of gravity

Not to mention, he made alot of plays by himself- his oline was less than stellar that game.. he also has great hands out of the backfield

I agree with RebRon, Cooper is head and heels a better all around back then is Alcoa's Linsey, or any other Maryville faced. The is no compairsion Cooper is a real talent IMO, and I thought him to be better than Riggs.
