Cooper needs to add weight, so I'm not sure he's an instant impact guy at the Big 10 level.
Even if he is, given that we play mostly a 4-2-5, it'd be hard for him to start. We have Hansen and Eifler (who is just a monster physically) as 2 all-Big 10 level starters. Then we also have Harding, and I'm pretty high on Tolson too.
I defiinitely agree that Cooper is a huge recruit for us though. He's going to be a really good college player. I was at the Trinity vs ESL game and he was the best defender on the field. If he can maintain his speed while adding weight, he has a chance to be really special, because like Hansen he has great instincts. Landing him would be a huge win for Lovie in terms of StL recruiting and LB recruiting
