Mookie Cook

Mookie Cook is a star both on and off the court. Off the court, he took on the role of playing a young LeBron James in “Shooting Stars,” a movie set to be released in 2023. “As soon as I saw him,” movie director Chris Robinson told The Athletic. “I was like, this is the dude. This is him. He was so charismatic. And never having really acted before, he just kind of took to the script.” Cook went through the recruiting process twice. He originally committed to Oregon in March 2022 before backing away from the Ducks in June and eventually picking them again a few weeks later. Cook is originally from Jefferson, Oregon, and he played through his sophomore season at Jefferson High. However, he eventually moved to AZ Compass Prep after the 2021 season.
