Reporter: "When do you think you’ll finish your degree?"
Cooper: “Just because of the busy schedule, probably be in the summer.”
I'm not particularly fond on of this one:
Reporter: "How do you compare to the other Ohio all-time greats?"
Cooper: “I would say I’m one of the best, if not the best, if I had to say.”
Reporter: "Who is your all-time Ohio starting five?
Cooper: “Me at the point. Who at the 2 (shooting guard)? Probably Armon Bassett at the 2,” Cooper said. “Gary, big Gary (Trent). Brandon Hunter. And what’s the white guy’s name?”
Reporter: Dave Jamerson?
Cooper: “Yeah, Dave Jamerson.”
That's a little too much ego on the sleeve to suit me. Also, his choices are just a little myopic in terms of time frame, but that's probably just a function of his youth. What really surprises me about this is that I was always very impressed with his post-game interviews in which he usually demonstrated wisdom beyond his years. He always sounded like a coach in his analysis of game situations. This sounds immature by comparison. Not a big deal, I still love DJ and everything he's done for old OHIO! Please don't take these comments out of context. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
