I’m going to miss Quinn Cook. Not just the player on the floor but the leader of the Duke Blue Devils. He had to endure the losses to Lehigh and Mercer in the first round of the NCAA Tournament during his Freshman and Junior years. You all remember that pain and the ridicule that you had to endure from all your peers. He experienced the same torment. But all that can be forgotten now as Quinn Cook is graduating and he can call himself a champion.
I write this piece now because as Duke’s team banquets have just concluded the reality of Quinn Cook not suiting up next year has hit home.
