About Cooper

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would say that I am a strong, physical player with skills in the paint but shooting abilities from the field. Strengths are rebounds, strong defense, and put backs.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am driven and tough. I am a team player and like to lead by example. I had strong leaders that came before me and I want to always continue that with younger teammates.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am a leader in the Black Student Union at our school and involved in our home church supporting children and youth ministry.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a school that will allow me to support their basketball program.

Cooper Buelna Cooper Buelna Cooper Buelna 6'4" | SF Crystal Lake South | 2025 State IL , 6’4″ SF Crystal Lake South 2025: Buelna is a force to be reckoned with inside the paint. He is a strong, big-bodied forward who always fights for defensive and offensive rebounds. Even when Buelna was matched-up against a taller opponent, he still produced continuous effort on the glass creating second-chance opportunities, or strongly securing defensive boards and quickly delivering the ball for an outlet pass. Buelna even displayed patience when he received the ball in the post, holding his pivot foot to create scoring opportunities, or keeping the ball alive to deliver dump-off passes to cutting teammates. If Buelna receives a pass along the three-point line, defenders shouldn’t lazily close out because he showed the ability to knock down the three ball.
