On Sunday, Robert Morris men’s basketball received some positive news regarding its future.
Class-of-2025 guard prospect Eddie Cookie III committed to the Colonials, announcing his commitment on Twitter.
“Thank you to all of the coaches and trainers deserving credit for my commitment to Robert Morris University,” he said. “Special thanks to @CoachK_Lew for believing in me!”
Cooke is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound wing out of Legacy Early College High School in South Carolina. Earlier this month, Big Shots Global, a recruiting service in the region, ranked Cooke as the No. 3 shooting guard in the state of South Carolina for the class of 2025.
He took an official visit to Moon to check out Robert Morris back on Sept. 7, and shared photos from his visit online shortly thereafter.
Assistant coach Kim Lewis joined the Robert Morris staff this summer.
