Cooper Lewis

slcagg · Post by **slcagg** » April 23rd, 2024, 5:20 am

Anyone know much about this kid. Maybe our Utah county scout @2004AG. Utah player of the year. Averaged close to 30 and can shoot.

Believe he is the son of Quincy Lewis.

I have only seen highlights of this kid. He looks tremendous on those highlights but it is very telling that he has no D1 offers in the state of Utah. There is definitely something missing from his overall game, I just don’t know what it is.

If we are not going to offer a scholarship to the more skilled, Aggie legacy Jordy Barnes then we should definitely not offer a scholarship to a kid that will bail for his dad’s favorite school the second he starts to produce for us.

6-2 small forward. Sounds like he might not have the skill set of a guard and is too small to Olay small forward in college.

Thanks for bringing up. I, too, have wondered about him. I’m not sure if he’s immediately headed on a mission or what.

Guys, this kid is good. He absolutely dominated Utah HS 6A ball en route to leading to his team to the state championship averaging 27 ppg shooting 42% from 3.

Corner Canyon was undefeated this year when Brady Kozlowski played (a 6’8” USC commit that just flipped to byu when usc’s coach just left) and Lewis just obliterated them in the state championship.

He is a PG, not a SF. I understand why coaches are not offering, but I think it’s a miss. We’ve seen that as long as you have a bball IQ, are semi-athletic, and can shoot, you can be effective at D1. Obviously Wyoming not offering Jaycee Carroll is an extreme example, but I also look at guys like Jared Quayle & Brian Green when I see Cooper Lewis.

Check out these clips of him:

Maybe coaches don't want to deal with his dad. Or they assume once he's back from his mission he'll be byu bound no matter what.

I agree with this take. I have watched this kid a lot of times and dude can ball. He takes over games. My guess is the reason he has not been offered is he is very ball dependent. Needs the rock in his hands all the time.

He can definitely ball. Does his size concern anyone? Do we need to be targeting kids with bodies that can compete athletically with the top talent in the MWC? I realize 6'-2" isn't that small for a PG, but I would be very hesitant to see him play any position other than PG.

Why the positivity on this kid but the dismissal of Dallin Hall? Genuinely curious. Lewis and Hall are pretty similar type of players.

Q: How tall was Brian Green? A: 6'1".
Q: Did Brian Green play PG? A: No, he played shooting guard.
Q: Was Brian Green successful. A: Yes, we would have loved that shooting on our team last year, as a reserve he was named to 2nd team all-WAC.

At 6'2" that isn't too small to play a shooting guard. At that size he may not be a 30-min a game guy at a position other than PG but it can definitely be done. There are probably some other limitations, perhaps with his handles, speed or defense that are keeping other teams away. Most great teams have players who aren't eating up minutes but have specific roles for specific situations and can push you over the top in a game or two that you wouldn't win otherwise.

2 reasons. Cooper didn't sign with BYU and he isn't asking for $600K a year in NIL money.

Just from the clips I saw I would say Lewis's game is more similar to Ashworth's than it is to Hall's. He is more similar in size to Ashworth as well. I highly doubt this kid is really 6'2" but he is a baller, at least on the offensive side.

With his dad resigning as coach at Lehi it will be interesting to see how this plays out

He seems like a player that deserves to get an offer from USU.

Size isn't all it's cracked up to be. I saw a five year old score over Sahko the other day.

All I did was dismiss any notion of Dallin Hall coming to USU. I'm not dismissive of him as a player. I am dismissive of us having to use $500k NIL on him and give the starting PG spot, yes. But that's an entirely different discussion than a Cooper Lewis.

I don’t know. If you want to maintain status-quo then I agree with your take, but if you want to win MWC championships and make runs in the tournament then we need to elevate our talent and athleticism to meet those expectations. Don’t get me wrong, Brian Green was fun to watch and a great Aggie, but like others have said, we didn’t do (I can't express myself without swearing) in the tournament for decades with those teams. I don’t want an all-WAC player, I want an all-MWC player. There’s a difference there.

Hard to want a mission kid when as a program we’ve had 3 head coaches in the time he will be gone.

Along those same lines, there is less risk in offering a mission kid.

Guys, this kid is good. He absolutely dominated Utah HS 6A ball en route to leading to his team to the state championship averaging 27 ppg shooting 42% from 3.

Corner Canyon was undefeated this year when Brady Kozlowski played (a 6’8” USC commit that just flipped to byu when usc’s coach just left) and Lewis just obliterated them in the state championship.

He is a PG, not a SF. I understand why coaches are not offering, but I think it’s a miss. We’ve seen that as long as you have a bball IQ, are semi-athletic, and can shoot, you can be effective at D1. Obviously Wyoming not offering Jaycee Carroll is an extreme example, but I also look at guys like Jared Quayle & Brian Green when I see Cooper Lewis.

Check out these clips of him:

Randy Bennett saw what I saw. Cooper Lewis signed with Saint Mary’s. I think this one was a miss by usu.

Agreed!
Hard to want a mission kid when as a program we’ve had 3 head coaches in the time he will be gone.

I’d imagine that plays into it, and Randy Bennett is pretty established at St Mary’s
Along those same lines, there is less risk in offering a mission kid.

Seems like a big risk, I bet he never plays for St Marys.

Thanks for bringing up. I, too, have wondered about him. I’m not sure if he’s immediately headed on a mission or what.

Not a big risk to the coach that will not be around when he comes home from his mission.

If anything it establishes a relationship for the coach to have if he wants to go after him at the new school when the kid comes home from a mission.

In finance we call that a real option (a call option in this case) and there is always value to an option.

Not necessarily.

Call and Put options have exercise dates where the option expires and thus lose some value each day due to time decay, or Theta. As the exercise date approaches the impact of Theta increases, eroding the value of the option. They can certainly expire worthless.

I think your analogy is apt however, as an option can provide exponential returns with less risk than an outright purchase of the asset. In this case, Cooper is signed with the intent of stepping on campus in two years. If everything goes as planned, it's a high return for St. Mary's at a low risk. I say low risk because a scholarship isn't being tied up for the next two years. If Cooper changes his mind there is plenty of time for St. Mary's to redirect.

I think he would be a solid offensive threat but he could be a defensive liability in the MWC on the wing

I would have taken Wynott over this kid. Calhoun is not much into taking HS kids.

If there were an actual scenario that came down to choosing one of the two. You take Wynott EVERY time.

Lewis is interesting; during the tournament, it was announced that he was going to attend CSI for a year.
