Supreme Cook, yes, that’s really his name, a 6’8” PF from NJ from the class of 2020 has committed according to several sources on the Net.

Supreme Cook is 6'8 200lbs. His strength is toughness and rebounding with a developing mid-range game. He played last year at St. Benedict's and will do a post grad year at Peddie. He played AAU with the NJ Roadrunners

Below are various posts about him. Some may require an Instagram account.

Interesting point about PG year for Cook. It used to be common in Ivy football to do a PG year (Harvard for example used Exeter for this purpose) but not so much in basketball. Now it is unusual to see football PGs but it seems pretty commonplace in basketball.

I think we will see more and more of this as the likelihood of a normal year in college becomes less and less possible. A lot of people will decide to take a gap year rather than attend an expensive school remotely, and this becomes even more of a factor for athletes who will lose eligibility (in the Ivies, anyway).

Agreed. It's unfortunate in some respects, but an athlete potentially has a lot to gain by taking a gap year.

there are so many more opportunities to take a post-grad year in basketball now as a school only needs 12 players for a team so many of these "academies" and "institutes" pop up and provide opportunities. Grant Mullins did a post-grad year in Canada and left school as soon as the season was over.
I can hear Jimi!

Didn't Mullins do his post-grad at California? The redoubtable Bill Walton became a fan. (he was the color man on telecasts)
