Talks about his commitment to Illinois. Considered himself a commit for over a year. Was receiving interest from MSU, Colorado, Louisville, Wisconsin, and Cincy amongst others. "Super soph" is a term being thrown around.

By A Trieu. Cooper says he knew where he wanted to go, so there was no reason for him to wait. He will still take his visits.

Corey Cooper Profile

"I was offered by Notre Dame," Proviso East star Corey Cooper told Scout.com last night.
Cooper is an Illinois verbal for 2010, but went to South Bend for camp and impressed the Irish enough to subsequently earn this offer. Cooper says he will still take his official visits come his senior season.

From the ND site...more on the ND offer...remains committed to Illinois but also is interested in any school that offers. Grew up an OSU fan and is hearing from the Buckeyes.
