Cooper initially committed to UGA but changed his mind just four days later, leaving many to wonder if he was still interested in the program.
However, Cooper’s recent visit to UGA’s Junior Day suggests that he is indeed still considering the Bulldogs. The visit, which took place last weekend, seemed to go extremely well, with Cooper and his mom expressing that it felt like “home” to them. This sentiment is music to the ears of UGA’s coaching staff, particularly Kirby Smart.
Cooper’s mom also praised the visit, stating that it was “different from all other visits.” This kind of feedback is invaluable for UGA’s recruitment efforts, and it’s clear that the Bulldogs are making a strong impression on Cooper and his family.
According to 247Sports, Georgia is currently one of the top contenders for Cooper’s commitment, alongside the University of Miami. The fact that UGA is still in the running despite Cooper’s initial decommitment is a testament to the program’s persistence and appeal.
If Cooper were to recommit to UGA, it would be a significant coup for the Bulldogs. Not only would they be adding a talented running back to their roster, but they would also be proving that their recruitment efforts can overcome even the most unexpected setbacks.
As the recruitment process continues, it’s clear that UGA is in a strong position to land Cooper’s commitment. With his recent visit and glowing feedback, the Bulldogs are undoubtedly one of the top contenders for his services.
The story of Cooper’s recruitment is a fascinating one, full of twists and turns. From his initial commitment and decommitment to his recent visit and renewed interest, it’s clear that this recruitment saga is far from over. As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: Derrek Cooper is a talented running back with a bright future ahead of him, and UGA is eager to be a part of it.
