Missouri DE likes first trip
Hazelwood (Mo.) East defensive end Jamal Cooper said all along that he's going to take all of his official visits. The same holds true after he returns from his first visit of the year.
"I liked Illinois," Cooper, who is 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, said. "The coaches were cool and the players were great to hang with.

"I learned more about where they are going with the program and what type of kids they want."
But just like Cooper said on Thursday night before his visit, he's not rushing anything.
"I'm still going to Wisconsin next weekend," he said. "UCLA and K-State are in January."
Cooper does not claim a leader at this point.
