I believe he smiled and said his mission was to get more black guys to BYU. Seriously. I think he was just having fun, but at the same time, he was serious.
And you're right, a lot of freshman have been, and Lake is very impressive. I wish we had more corners so we could put him at RB, but oh well. BYU is always dying for corners.
I thought Cook was coming here for a year then leaving on a mission. Maybe not. I think it sets up well. He's here for a year, then when he gets back, he can jump right in behind a senior Warner/Takitaki or even play inside.
