Warlick seems to know very little about Cooper's supposed knee issue, which is very strange and more than a bit troubling. Her comments were completely vague--the usual nervous, response that we often get from Warlick. It seems that Cooper, or someone representing her, simply called the staff and told them that she has a knee problem and won't be playing this year. No specifics at all! Has Cooper been examined by a UT medical trainer? It doesn't sound like it, and of course that question was not asked of Warlick by the crack group of journalists who cover the team and covered the presser today. I get a strong sense something other than a knee issue might be up with Cooper--hope I'm wrong, but that's the sense that I get.
So now, with two regular guards not playing this year, we're looking at yet another difficult year. The team has no backcourt depth at all now--and will be relying on two players, Jackson and Middleton, who played very little last year. Not good.
