“There’re so many things I can/will take away from this season that will be forever inspiring to me,” Cooke said in a statement. “I want to thank my family and friends as well especially for their unwavering supporting of me ... With this said, I will be entering the transfer portal to see where my journey leads next.”
Cooke is the third member of Maryland’s 2022 recruiting class that has revealed their intention to play at a different school next season — Mila Reynolds and Ava Sciolla announced their intentions to enter the portal earlier in the week. Currently, Bri McDaniel is the only member of last year’s recruiting class slated to be on the 2023-24 roster.
The 5-foot-9 freshman played in 20 games this season with an average of 2.2 points per game in 6.4 minutes of action per game. Cooke, a Clinton, Maryland, native, struggled to find a role on a team with excellent defensive length on the perimeter.
Maryland now has three scholarship roster spots available.
