Eric Cobb Highlights

[Lefty2one]

1. Nice to have some new video.
2. The lack of D at the juco level never fails to disappoint.
3. Cobb is lighter on his feet than I expected.
4. Not going to get much offensively out of him but hopefully he can box out, get so boards and follow simple defensive rotations.

 

[upstater]

Wow--I mean, the competition!

 

[3rdbass]

He looks more mobile than I thought. Definitely has a good handle and passer for someone his size. Hopefully he can produce.

A big man who can pass. A nice job of getting position and presenting himself on an inbounds play to take advantage of a defensive lapse. Nice wide body. I think I was right when I predicted he would start over Enoch, were they both here. Obviously needs some development and to prove he can keep up the intensity for 20+ minutes and we'll see how he can do against D1 defenders, but he was a good get by the coaching staff.

 

[Vancat]

good energy

<full mixtape disclaimer with this statement>

On the second play of that video I made a little noise

 

[superjohn]

Great, now we have 3.5 point guards. We'll never get Waters or Carey.

 

[Ant3411]

His ball handeling is better than I expected. Also, it looks like he's got pretty good/strong hands. I feel like we haven't had a big that would could rely on to catch a pass cleanly or rip down a rebound in a while.

 

[Kenny11]

His in and out dribble in kind of nasty.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

Some thing there to like. But the tape looks sped up, giving illusion he's quicker maybe ?

 

[reddevilhusky]

At the very least he looks a lot more athletic than some on here made him out to be

 

[Marat]

Yes, looks like he lost some weight. We just might have something here to work with.

[auror]

He looks fluid and fairly long, but with almost 0 lift. Below the rim guy unless he's completely wide open. Footwork didn't impress either. They don't really show rebounding in these kinds of videos, so hopefully he can use that butt, because that's where we need him this year.

 

[Fishy]

Yes, looks like he lost some weight. We just might have something here to work with.

It's a season highlight reel.

He hasn't lost weight - that's what he looks like.

 

[Yankees32123]

My biggest takeaway, and something that will translate to high-major D1 ball is he is always looking for the outlet/pass ahead. That's something Brimah REALLY struggled with, he could not pass. He would be desperately looking for someone to hand the ball off to after getting a board and often couldn't make anything happen. Cobb looks like a very willing and able passer. Remember how good Josh Boone and Charlie V were at passing? Promising looks from Cobb here.

 

[Yankees32123]

I also see a lot of Gary Clark in him. If we can get half the production Gary Clark gives Cincy, we found a winner.

 

[PAHusky]

Looks like he can actually catch ball. Baby steps for the big men. Not having hands like feet is a bid deal for our 5's.

 

[Chin Diesel]

1. Actually grabbed a rebound and looked up court vice standing waiting to hand ball off to a guard. Good.

2. Used his body to gain position in the post. Good.

3. Grabbed an offensive rebound, kept ball above shoulders and put it back. Good.

Hope it translates to D1 bball.

 

[AntG168]

I didnt know he was so versatile

You post hadn't loaded when I started typing mine.

Absolutely agree with looking to outlet pass vice stand and hand off.

 

[AntG168]

I mean he's looks a lot better than i thought he was. He's much more than just a big body

 

[aceboon]

Hard to evaluate what will translate to this level but I wasn't expecting to see that kind of skillset. I was expecting to see a big bodied stiff, the first couple of plays with him advancing the ball up court by himself and making those kinds of passes off the dribble threw me for a loop.

Cobb in JUCO highlight video > Enoch with Armenia highlight video

 

[Wordbomar]

He can handle the ball and pass well for a big, this is a plus even against lesser comp
