I started watching Duke when he got to CU. I will follow and cheer for him from now no matter what team he is on. Cooper aka PITBULL is a future pro. He set the tone for CU in the first series in the TCU game. He bullied a bigger and stronger receiver. CU players, if for only one game, learned the intensity needed by watching Cooper that series. Many CU players lost that intensity later on because you cant teach that, a kid has to have that mind set in high school. One player can't carry an entire team. But a bunch of guys who have that controlled aggression can feed off each other all season.

[@CoachAB75]

Thanks for the comment

[@AdamGoNoles]

Lets go, if Fuller says ok so do we. Duke must have some hilarious stories about the Coach Prime circus. Love Deion but the circus always gets old fast without the winning records

[@vaughnmeyerjr6502]

I'm sure Pat Surtain had some say in it also

[@michaelsteven3990]

Solid vid, Db room is stacked with or without him.

[@MontanaNole]

Probably our best room on defence.

[@mikemyrick1458]

What's up fellas & this is Awesome! The secondary will be scary! GO NOLES #MIKEGOTUS #CLIMB 🍢 💯

[@timmy664]

Its wild that yall still questioning a HC that went 13-0 and A DC that had one of the top Secondary in the country last year. Thats what head scratching 😂😂😂

[@XsandNoles]

I mean I think we repeatedly said that they deserve the benefit of the doubt

[@KH-qs1di]

@timmy664: You sound like an idiot. Think about what you stated. The DC coached a top secondary in the country last season (without Cooper) and they were already projected to have another top secondary (without Cooper). Make it make sense.

[@CoachAB75]

Questioning?

[@timmy664]

@@CoachAB75 yes questioning Norvell on his take back of Duke

[@CoachAB75]

@@timmy664 didn’t feel like we really questioned it that much. I tried to insinuate some things about him maybe being a walk on as opposed to on scholly but maybe that didn’t come across.

[@georgehirsch9152]

Thanks guys!

[@Welldunn]

Will FSU play him at safety, which is what he was slotted to play before he transferred, or will they play him as the dime corner like AZ did last year? AZ was essentially a starter with the amount of time he played last year

[@XsandNoles]

I assume he'll be played at safety. It seems like they're still not very confident in that room

[@gabeanderson1571]

I feel him & cypress will share that other outside corner even sub with AZ let's remember no db plays every down we always rotate

[@stevengrizzle]

He has 2 years. If he sticks around he might be a much better player by then. Didn't he leave before Surtain took over dbs?

[@XsandNoles]

Yeah he did

[@CoachAB75]

He did and there’s a decent chance he regains that form and development we saw as a freshman.

[@jason15212]

Let’s see

[@richardsmith9709]

I feel he should start from the bottom. Our other boys stepped up in that group and are more than likely better. Idk about this.

[@bagboytay2454]

100% I’ve been seeing a lot of talk and so far have only seen a few people kinda have some reservations. No hate on him but definitely needs to prove himself again as a nole

[@drakodakid1096]

It aint always greener and to even accept duke back to the team when we over scholarships means something...me personally i wouldve rather kept greedy than to take duke back...what is we doing frfr he finna play safety our 3 corner spots ARE LOCKED UP...shouldve stayed at colorado for his senior year for real..but welcome back i guess......🤷🏽

[@bagboytay2454]

@@drakodakid1096 it does take a moment to step back and realize the type of “business” decisions these kids are tryna make and it makes me a little more open to understand it . Truth of the matter still stands , you left. I don’t think a lot of people leave out of spite but I feel like every kid who’s went to Colorado was to spite their former program. I hope he explodes this season but I do like greedy more

[@drakodakid1096]

@bagboytay2454 I think duke left respectfully we never heard anything about Duke but I do believe him leaving was a big part to stay at corner, which he wasn't bad at all I'm jus trying to see how he fits at this point, if he healthy he's good, but who is he jumping cause it's not fentrell or AZ he not playing nickle so he jumping Conrad? I don't like him jumping Conrad I think 12 is a pure baller, and for us to be over the limit on scholarships but taking another db after one just left is puzzling...I guess I'm the only one though🤷🏽

[@drakodakid1096]

@bagboytay2454 and then he left a team that was about to go 13-0 at that for Colorado...I'm jus confused. He a good player..but why take another db familiar or not, should've taken a swing at McClain then since we gettin more dbs lmao

[@sammyboykin5624]

♥♥♥

[@user-cf1gh1gw1f]

Y'all know which one is cooper. But we don't. Ever thought about that!

[@jason15212]

I don’t think he will play much if he’s at corner but I’m down to be corrected. I don’t get why this is more rewarding than just trying a young player there at safety. They have to learn and get experience. The portal has made the development process so weird man.

[@nolefan91]

🤔

[@GeorgiaPound77]

Why even leave? Smh

[@henrywiggins5893]

Why did we let him back? We were fine without him. Like AB said it’s head-scratching.

[@Dupreehundo-rq3bq]

What u need depth yall be Wilding acting like this dude doesn't have talent smh

[@drakodakid1096]

I like duke but i def wouldve LOVED TO KEEP GREEDY THAN TAKE DUKE BACK....he playing safety is my assumption....this wasnt a great move for duke if he tryna get drafted. He might play what 200-300 snaps...he not getting 4-500 theres no way

[@nole74]

Cooper has 2 years and the coaches know what they are getting here

[@XsandNoles]

I think they're looking for a safety more than a nickel

[@drakodakid1096]

I figured that and I like duke dont get me wrong but we already over on scholarships and got plenty dbs, is he jumping Conrad or devante for the other safety spot? He left for not wanting to play safety so are we sure🤔

[@ijustwanttonap]

​@@drakodakid1096You don't know where they stand on schollys. Pretty easy tp just give a player enough NIL money to cover the scholly and make him a PWO. No rules against it. Pretty sure they have done this before.

[@drakodakid1096]

@ijustwanttonap bro we all kno they over on schollys but they definitely going to have to go the nil pwo route for some guys, goes to show these boys really wan play for the garnet and gold, I love it tbh we got some dawgs

[@KH-qs1di]

This is a head scratcher. They don't need him. The secondary is stacked as it is. I'm assuming he will be a PWO. Their focus should be on LB and DT.

[@CoachAB75]

The PWO comment you made is why I said head scratching.

[@rudykinard]

He lost his spot at CU he is only a depth piece

[@yungling85]

im in the minority but fuck no we shouldnt of taken him back.... not to mention every highlight wasnt an actual highlight.... i just watched 20+ minutes of this kid giving up receptions lmao

[@williamgreen9865]

FSU IS NOW FULL OF PLAYERS THAT COULD NOT START FOR OTHER TEAMS AND A AVERAGE AT BEST QB, ONE INJURY AWAY AT LB, OL, DL, WR FROM DISASTER. LIVE BY THE PORTAL DIE BY THE PORTAL.

[@DavidStarr-eg2kv]

If he's a walk on what's the harm
