A bit under the radar, and not actually confirmed.

Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia has reported that former East Carolina guard Mike Cook has decided to transfer to Pitt. Cook made the announcement yesterday at a news conference near his home in Mount Airy, Pa., a Philadelphia suburb. Cook, a 6-foot-4 guard, averaged 15 points per game last season. Cook, who must sit out this coming season, would have two years of eligibility remaining. Pitt could not confirm Cook’s decision last night. Under NCAA rules, a coach is not allowed to speak about a transfer until he is enrolled in school and on campus.

Comcast Philadelphia‘s site has nothing.

Cook is a shooting guard. He decided to and released by ECU to transfer in May. He was the leading scorer for the Pirates. He averaged the most minutes for the team at 33. His FG% was .370, 3P% – .316, and FT% – .726. In his first season at ECU he was part of the all-freshman C-USA team.

According to the old recruiting pages, he was a 3-star recruit for the class of 2003. Pitt never recruited him, though he drew interest (but no offers) from Marquette, WVU and PSU.

Can really score. From Philadelphia and has a nice aptitude for the game. Medium-range jumper is soft and sweet. Can hit 3s, but more efficient inside arc. Will also rebound and work the baselines. Just has a nice knack for scoring.

It reads like he has the potential to be a decent outside and inside threat on offense. He has to sit out a year and adapt to a team where he is not likely to be the primary focus of the team.
