Demarco Cobbs

What is the latest on Demarco Cobbs? Will he return from his injury? Will he ever have any impact?

I like too know also.

He had so much potential. Since the injury it seems everyone has written him off.

According to some tweets last month, he's excited about Strong and ready to play next year.

He has healed fully, but don't look for him to be a heavy contributor if at all.

He struggled in Manny Diaz's system but he wasn't alone in his struggles. It's just hard to see someone with so much talent turn out this way.

Didn't he find Mack Brown's doghouse?

It's guys like Cobbs who are going to benefit the most from Strong's arrival. If he works hard and deserves to be on the field, this is the best chance he's going to have. It was obvious that he wasn't going to play under the former staff. There's no promise that he's going to with the new staff, but having a blank slate is never a bad thing for a guy like this. Now it's up to him to work his tail off and prove to everyone that he's healthy and deserving of a shot.

On another note, we sure haven't had a lot of luck when we recruit kids from Oklahoma. Pickryl was never able to overcome his shoulder injuries and Cobbs had injury issues too. I hope that Turner can keep working and turn that trend around.

Yep, he needed 4 good years of LB coaching. Highly rated coming out, maybe Bedford can salvage something.
