Thanks Pete.

Wish Cook all the best. I can't imagine how difficult a decision this will be. Obviously you have family that wants him at UM but you also have the opportunity anywhere in the country.

Hopefully he stays home to help the Canes win their 6th National Championship! That's right Cook family 6! That would be more than FSU and UF combined. Also, I'm sure the Cook family wants the best education for their son. Guess what? UM is ranked #47 in e country. That's better than UF and FSU.
 
Welcome to the U Dalvin, we'll just have Dixon, Pelon, Hester and JC Jackson come along with you to help you enjoy your stay with us and the rest of your 2014 class. How's that sound? :mmkay:

This is the type of kid that turns us from slightly above average to elite. Win win for all. With the OL we are bringingy
in....OH ****. Willis type ****.
 
I mean with the opportunity to play with two of his current teammates, go to the same school as his bro, be close to friends and family, and get the best education out of all the schools in consideration, he'd really have to be adamant about leaving home to not choose The U. Oh and not to mention one of the top O-line classes in the country.

Being a parent of a top division-1 recruit is crazy enough, but Von Burnett is used to the process by now. Burnett is the mother of Miami Hurricanes freshman guard DeAndre Burnett and Miami Central 5-star running back Dalvin Cook. Today’s story will focus on Dalvin’s recruiting process and tomorrow’s story will look at DeAndre’s path to Miami.

Having dealt with both of their recruiting processes, which one has been crazier?

“It’s crazier really for Dalvin. They have the same mother and father, Dalvin stays with his father and DeAndre stayed with me. This whole thing for Dalvin is just bananas. I just want him to make whatever decision that his heart leads him to,” said Burnett.

Burnett has tried to stay away from pushing anything to Dalvin, but she has given him some advice to lean on.

“Everybody is kind of like pulling at him with all of these people in his ear and I just tell him to remain grounded with his decision Your passion and heart will never lead you wrong. I try telling him this will be where he lives for 3-4 years.”

She gave what seems like an honest answer when she says she does not know for sure where he will end up.

“I really honestly don’t know. I know he knows he has a big family on both sides and that we would all want to go support him, so I think it’s going to be in-state.”

Although she is letting her son make his own decision, it’s no secret who she is a fan of.

“I grew up as a Hurricane. I’m a Hurricane all the way and I grew up watching them.”

What would it mean to the family if Cook stayed home in the same city as his brother?

“Oh gosh (laughs), it would be bananas, it would be crazy. The way I look at it, if Dalvin stayed home, him and DeAndre could support each other. They could go to each other’s games and it would really be a great support thing for both of them. Wherever he decides, I will support him, but if he stays it would be really crazy.”

Cook met with Al Golden and staff last night, but she was not present for the meeting. Her visit will come next week.

“I had talked to Coach (Hurlie) Brown and he had told me they were going over there to his father’s house and they’ll be coming to me next week. I think whoever wins him over last will get him. So maybe this is a good thing that this is the last visit.”

Be sure to read tomorrow’s story on DeAndre Burnett.

This staff may turn into Simple Jack on game days, but damnit they sure can recruit with the best of 'em.

Howard was all UF at one point, Coley was all FSU at one point, and Cook seemed to be signed, sealed, and delivered to FSU...
 
DOES DALVIN REALIZE OUR LAST 10 RB MADE IT TO THE LEAGUE! Damien Berry, Lamar Miller, Mike James all played together!
