Top 10 college basketball graduate transfers of the 2020 recruiting cycle--CBS Sports

9. Aaron Cook

Old school: Southern Illinois | New school: Gonzaga
If you're looking for the graduate transfer most likely to make an impact on a Final Four team, Cook might be the best bet. The former Southern Illinois guard might not lead Gonzaga in scoring next season, but Bulldogs coach Mark Few doesn't hand out scholarships to just anyone, and Cook's career trajectory suggests the best is yet to come for the 6-foot-2 guard. His 2019-20 season was off to a great beginning both offensively and defensively before it was derailed by injury.
