Former UVa recruit Cook resurfaces to burn Cavs

Posted Oct 23, 2005

The most notable player to back out of his commitment to the former George Welsh staff was Rikki Cook, a high school All-America fullback from Montclair, N.J. If the Cavaliers had lost track of Cook over the years, they weren't too happy to learn of his whereabouts Saturday. It was Cook who was responsible for the only touchdown in the Tar Heels' 7-5 victory over 23rd-ranked Virginia. (Roanoke Times)
