DEMARCO COBBS

[allentxsooner]

No way Uterus pulls this kid out of OK Right?

[snp]

Possibly. He'll be making a trip to Austin at the end of this month for their Junior Day.

[NorthernIowaSooner]

Kind of strange, i thought texas refused to recruit in oklahoma

Texas pulled in a 5* DE (Brian Pickeryl) back in 2002. But you're right, it is pretty rare for them to cross the border.

[Rhino]

It'd be kinda shocking if he didn't go to Texas. Grew up a horn fan.

[Sabanball]

Agreed that he'll probably end up in Austin, but I can't help but think you guys will be in the mix before it's all said and done. I think he's supposed to be in Tuscaloosa this weekend for our junior day. IMO, he'd be a tough pull for us but nice that he's listing us high on his list.

[ousooners182]

well ryan broyles and mossis madu also grew up horn fans but we converted them.
:)

[OUmillenium]

Pikreryl (sp?) grew up in Texas, sort of like Russell Gaskamp (Weatherford Ok). Not sure about Adam Doirion (Duncan).

It's not like UTerus is plucking lifelong Okies and turning them into All-Americans.

[goingoneight]

As far as "growing up a [team X] fan," I'm not concerned. Tommie, AD, Dusty, MK, and plenty other big time performers have changed their minds in the Stoops era. I'm sure if you knew the truth about all things, you'd hear a whorn or two had a soft spot for OU back in their day before they signed with UT.

Exceptions are not the rule. There are plenty more players who signed with Texas because that was their dream school than guys who spurned their dream school in our favor.

["MVP"]

Damn, he was an interesting prospect.

[BASSooner]

4.76......?

[soonerfan28]

4.76 won't keep him from being a top prospect. His senior production might. That's probably what the majority of guys run out of HS. If he has the talent and skill set then he'll be fine. He's rated as an athlete out of HS, so he could play a number of positions.

No it won't since he's already been offered by everyone. Schools don't care about posted 40 times or high school stats. They care about athletic ability and if you watch his videos, you'll see he has tons.

[boomersooner28]

Didn't know he committed to Tennessee till I just now saw it on scout.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Didn't know he committed to Tennessee till I just now saw it on scout.They have snatched a few other top OK athletes during the Stoops years.

[boomersooner28]

Yes they have...Robert Meachum is the first that comes to mind.

[pappy]

gerald jones was another

[Curly Bill]

Demarco Cobbs is one that I don't mind getting away. I don't know the kid personally, and he may be a great human, but there's just something about him I don't like. Seems kind of a snake to me.

[Eielson]

4.76......?

Don't hate on the guy for being realistic.

[CK Sooner]

I wish him luck, but if he expects to win championships he is in the wrong place.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I wish him luck, but if he expects to win championships he is in the wrong place.Rocky Top won't beat Saban or FU, but maybe he doesn't care, or he'$ got hi$ fir$t job$?

[DakotaSooner]

Rocky Top=$=probation

[BillyBall]

Rocky Top won't beat Saban or FU, but maybe he doesn't care, or he'$ got hi$ fir$t job$?

Or maybe he wants to play in a pro style offense...

[CK Sooner]

Rocky Top=$=probation

If they continue like they are then they will be soon.

[stoopified]

I could understand Okies going to Tennessee in down years like Marcus Nash of Edmond a few years back but now?If I wanted to go out of state I would at least want to play for a winner.

No kidding, USC is one thing, but the vols are another, I mean really, seems weird with all the offers he had that he picked them. Could be just me.

[DakotaSooner]

I agree, something ain't right with Kiffin.........

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I agree, something ain't right with Kiffin.........S'pose he's the new Callenberger?

[starrca23]

Cobbs commitment is not what you would call solid.

[CK Sooner]

Cobbs commitment is not what you would call solid.

What makes you think so?

[Salt City Sooner]

What makes you think so?
Maybe the fact that he's now verbaled to the 'horns?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Maybe the fact that he's now verbaled to the 'horns?"Priceless"...or is it?

[starrca23]

He isn't done waffling yet...

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Haven't gone to the site does UT = Tenn or Texas?

[stoopified]

If he does go to UTI hope he turns out to as worthless to them as Pickryl and Doiron neither of whom set the feild on fire during their careers.

[BillyBall]

They offered really late after he contacted them, hopefully it means they have given up on Darius White.

[Frozen Sooner]

But...but...but...Texas doesn't recruit in Oklahoma! Ever!

[Curly Bill]

Have I mentioned before that there's just something about this kid that I don't like?

Looks like now I have even more reason to feel that way.

[starrca23]

I don't want him to go to either UT, but I've talked to him some...seems like a good kid.

[Curly Bill]

In all honesty, as hard as I've been on the OU coaching staff this season I should give the kid some benefit of the doubt if he decides to go elsewhere.

[IronHorseSooner]

Much like I said in another thread, there is at least one other receiver that we are/were in on, Lucas, who is all but eliminating us because of the WR recruits that we are bringing. Both of these young men probably know that White and Prater are on their way to Norman, and they would never see the field.

[NorthernIowaSooner]

there are six kids if i counted right outside of texas on the texas roster. one being from mexico, making mexico more of a hot spot for texas football then oklahoma, i add nothing to this conversation other then just pointing that out

[TJKDone]

Is there any reason that has been rumored or spoken about as to why he has disdain for OU?

I don't know that I've ever heard of a kid from Oklahoma who hated OU and loved us without some kind of family tie or something.

Hook'em

[goingoneight]

Lots of Texas fans have popped up in recent years all around the country. It's part of winning an MNC in 2005. I don't necessarily know if he's a Texas fan, since he's committed to the other UT... but just pointing it out that it's not the craziest thing to ever happen.

[35-45]

Demarco Cobbs switched from Tenn to Texas

[Eielson]

Demarco Cobbs switched from Tenn to Texas

You're quick.

[goingoneight]

Give us Darius White and we'll be good. :D

[delhalew]

Nobody wants to take the cheap easy joke about kids that Kiffin recruits and knocking over the local Pilot? Kiffin keepin Knoxville thuggin.

[owenfieldreams]

While I now live in Galveston, Tulsa is my home town. I am told by people who are familiar with this kid & his situation that those who advise him & look out for his best interests, recommended that he go out of state to school.

Apparently, he lives in a very tough environment. I may have the specifics wrong but possibly one parent in jail & his "posse" a group of undesirables that have, in the past, had undue influence on him.

There is nothing about OU or OSU that is making him go elsewhere, it's all about an attempt by those who care about him to get him as far away from Tulsa as possible.

[goingoneight]

There was an article awhile back in the TW about how he's had to "re-focus" in life and how he "turned things around."

I don't care if he ends up a whorn, I hope if that's what it takes to get a thug off the streets and make a better life for himself, I'm all for it.

Just be careful about putting us on any of your "lists" once you get there, Demarco. :D

Yeah, if this is the case, I have no problem with him heading down south. His life and his future are the most important things.

[47straight]

If he needs to go someplace for school to avoid the criminal element, I'd say UT is the last place he needs to go! :texan:

[IronHorseSooner]

If he wants to get away from bad elements in state, then why UTerus? Why not A&M, Tech, Mizzou, or even somewhere far away like Penn State, tOSU, or Michigan?

[Curly Bill]

I say the get away from trouble story is a proverbial red herring.

[owenfieldreams]

All I can say is, I trust my sources.
