5-star Texas CB Anthony Cook.
It became apparent shortly after his official visit to LSU than Anthony Cook was having a difficult time making a final decision prior to the October 30 deadline he initially set for himself. Now that he has postponed his announcement, it is clear the Tigers made quite the case to the Cook family, and most importantly Anthony Cook himself, that Baton Rouge could be the destination for him.
Numerous phone calls reveal that Cook intended on committing to Texas, but the LSU visit exceeded expectations. The LSU staff continued its push after the visit, and Cook is listening. Throughout much of his recruitment, Cook always appeared to be looking for every reason possible not to sign with the Longhorns. A recent push by Texas commits and staff members gave them the surge they needed, but a strong week for LSU backed away from being a Texas lean.
Ultimately, we think LSU pulls this one out, with Cook making his announcement by the end of November.
