Ashanti's brother Ahmaad Cook signed with Ronny at Ball State
Cook, a six-foot point guard, finished his senior season at Westchester High School in Los Angeles with a 25-7 overall record. He averaged 15 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals per contest and guided Westchester to the Los Angeles City Championship, defeating nationally-ranked and favorite Fairfax in the semifinals and Woodland Hills Taft H.S. in the title game.
Cook, who is the younger brother of Georgetown guard Ashanti Cook, was named the Most Valuable Player of the Los Angeles All-City Basketball Championship and also earned MVP honors earlier in the season at the Westchester Tip-Off Classic, where Cook led his team to a 4-0 record and the classic title.
Westchester High School is a nationally-ranked high school program known for developing players such as Amir Johnson (the last high school player taken in the NBA Draft and current member of the Detroit Pistons), Trevor Ariza (UCLA and current member of the Orlando Magic) and Hassan Adams (Arizona) among others.
"Ahmaad knows how to win," Thompson said. "He comes from a perennial top five or top 10, nationally ranked program at Westchester. He has a pedigree of winning and winning at a national level. He's a playmaker who can knock down shots."
