Cooper announced his commitment to Illinois earlier this year at the Under Armour All-American game over offers from Oklahoma and Mizzou among others. However, he was still scheduled to take a visit to Florida State, and there was some concerns of a possible flip. But it appears as if that visit never took place, with some reports saying that Cooper never went on the scheduled flight down there.
