BALTIMORE, Maryland -- At first, Jerell Cooke thought he might want to leave Baltimore for college. The Randallstown senior was recruited mostly by junior colleges, so he was preparing himself for a life away from home.
Then Morgan State came calling.
“After the … county championship, the [Morgan State] coach called my [high school] coach,” Cooke said. “Morgan was looking to offer me and they wanted to recruit me. [I told my coach], ‘Yeah, I like that.’ [He said], ‘Yeah, me too.’”
Cooke committed to the Bears last month, ensuring that his family and friends will be able to see him play in college. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound shooting guard will redshirt his freshman year and then have four years of eligibility to play for the Bears.
