Cooper didn't play at all in the A-Day Game. Chris Black did and he made a pretty big impact in that game, second only to Yeldon.
Cooper did play in A-day. He was targeted twice on long balls. One was barely incomplete; the other was caught but negated by offensive pass interference. Black had 1 big catch in the game that went for a TD. So, did Black have the better A-day performance? Yes, but the daily practice reports that I read continuously stated that Cooper was ready to play whereas Black was a little tentative. One beat writer even said Black may be a candidate for a redshirt. Somehow, the Black hype really got thrown into overdrive before the SECCG with this "Black was ahead of Cooper prior to his injury" talk.

Saban mentioned Black by name at Crimson Caravan last year. He seemed to be very pleased with his performance in spring practice and believed he would get some playing time in the fall. He also mentioned Cooper but only as an aside to what he said about Black.
And I had quite forgotten that Cooper did see playing time in A-Day. My bad.
