I'm usually pretty critical of Elton, but thought this was a pretty good piece. I also like the quoted section below, hope he's right.
The only college player one can argue who had better numbers than Cooper (and in just three seasons) was Oscar Robertson, generally considered the best all-around college (and pro) basketball player in history. The NCAA did not keep steals stats in his era, and only counted assists in two of his three seasons. But "The Big O" delivered 2,973 points, 1,338 rebounds, 425 assists (two years) and an unknown number of steals for the Cincinnati Bearcats.
That's the company Cooper's numbers sit with, and quite possibly could land him 2013 MAC Player of the Year honors.
