When coach Fox left Nevada, one of his players left, too – Malik Cooke, a 6′5″ guard, who averaged 9.6 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game in his sophomore season at Nevada for Fox, while starting all 34 games, decided to transfer. Cooke could have possibly been in the red & black, but Fox didn’t think that would be fair to his former school.
“We didn’t consider taking him at Georgia because I didn’t think that would be fair to Nevada.”
Cooke, who is from Charlotte, N.C., ultimately decided on South Carolina, signing with coach Horn, and Fox says they are getting a terrific player and person, who Fox says “loved Nevada but was homesick.” Fox will have to sit out this season per NCAA transfer rules but will be a nice addition for Coach Horn at South Carolina, who continues to do a stellar job early in his career with the Gamecocks.
