Sidney Cooks, a 6-foot-4 forward at Saint Joseph (Kenosha, Wisconsin) and the No. 5 prospect in the espnW HoopGurlz Top 100 for the 2017 class, has committed to Michigan State.Cooks also considered Purdue, UCLA, Wisconsin and Michigan.It came down to Michigan or Michigan State, Cooks said. This was tough for me to decide. I also pondered whether I should leave the state of Wisconsin or not. ... I want to credit former Michigan State assistant coach NcKell Copeland for building a friendship that stood strong. I built a good bond with her.Cooks, who averaged 23.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 4.1 blocks per game as a junior at Saint Joseph, spent the spring and summer collecting hardware with USA Basketball.She teamed up with recent UConn signee Megan Walker and TCU freshman Amber Ramirez to win the USA Basketball 3x3 U18 national tournament. She then won a gold medal with Team USA at the FIBA Americas U18 championship in Valdivia, Chile, starting all five games and averaging 10.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.Cooks, who was known to entertain college coaches with a piano concert during home visits, will bring versatility to East Lansing. She blends a stretch-4 game that brings defenders out to the arc with an interior game that creates spacing. She elevates in the key and consistently hits the shot.Sid is one of those bigs that when she grabs a rebound you are not afraid to have her lead the fast break, said Ralph Gesualdo, Cooks coach at EYBL Midwest Elite. You can also put her in the corner to shoot a 3. And shes a triple threat in the high post because she can shoot, pass or take you off the dribble.Cooks joins Claire Hendrickson, a 5-foot-11 guard, in Michigan State coach Suzy Merchants two-player class.Cooks became the sixth and final top-10 prospect to sign in the past six days, following No. 1 Walker, No. 2 Evina Westbrook (Tennessee), No. 3 Rellah Boothe (Texas), No. 6 Chennedy Carter (Texas A&M), and No. 10 Michaela Onyenwere (UCLA).The updated class rankings will be released Thursday.

The England cricket season came to an exciting finale last month. Three teams had a chance of lifting the County Championship trophy as the last matches came around, and it would have been a fairy tale for all the possible winners. Yorkshire were going for three titles in a row to give their ridiculously popular Aussie coach Jason Gillespie the perfect send-off as he planned a return down under. Somerset were attempting to win their first ever Championship after coming very close on a couple of occasions. Middlesex went into their final game at the top of the table hoping to win their first title in 23 years.I decided weeks before the match between Middlesex and Yorkshire that I would cover the entire four days and attempt to do a behind-the-scenes at Lords at the same time. Its obviously relatively easy for a photographer to sit in one spot with a 600-millimetre lens on a tripod, waiting for something interesting to happen that makes a good photograph. Its slightly harder to rush about trying to find different angles, using different lenses and also trying to get a few significant moments on the trusty 600.I popped into Lords on the Monday, the day before the contest began, to see if I could get a couple of shots. On Tuesday I walked along St Johns Wood road, primed to see some MCC members lined up outside the famous Grace gates. No one was there - not a sausage. This project had got off to an inauspicious beginning. Not to worry, I thought, as I cracked on and moved inside looking for a better, more photogenic opportunity.I went into the stands, the famous pavilion, TV trucks, the media centre, out on the pitch, always looking for a different shot. Early starts and late finishes were the order of the day for me.The match was extremely exciting on the Thursday as Yorkshire reached 350 in the first innings to pick up a fourth batting point and stay in the race for the title. It became even more exciting on Friday afternoon as Middleseex set Yorkshire 240 runs off 240 balls to win the Championship.dddddddddddd At 5.30pm, Toby Roland-Jones of Middlesex completed a hat-trick, wrapped up the game, and his team-mates duly chased him around the ground and piled on top of him.Soon after, it was champagne time. I think it is such a waste of champagne to spray it over one another after a victory, but in the time-honoured fashion the Middlesex boys got their hands around the necks of the bottles and proceeded to soak anyone near them.I have some experience photographing champagne moments and know the first rule is to be quite far back, so that you are not soaked yourself. The second thing is to try to convince the television cameraman that it is not in his interests (it is always a man - Im not being sexist) to get in your way. This can be done in a friendly way or by threatening to physically assault him with an empty bottle of Veuve Clicquot after the presentation has concluded. To be honest, cricket cameramen are normally very fair and keep out of the way as much as they can. The corresponding shot of the Leicester football team winning the premiership was ridiculously bad, as ten people were between the celebrating team and the photographers. The third thing to probably do is to take your camera/lens off the autofocus setting, as flying champagne will really muck up the focus.Ive included a tiny selection from the week to show you some of the variety of shots that I captured. They include Steven Finn bowling; the members visitors book in the pavilion; the screens in the TV truck; paint marks made on the ground by bowlers Tim Murtagh and Tim Bresnan; Roland-Jones under a pile after his hat-trick; and captain James Franklin lifting the trophy as champagne flies.By the way, I did stay dry.Nikon D4 cameras, various lenses, various shutter speeds ' ' '
