Eric Cobb looks different

[Huskybass]

I think it is Cobb standing. He is thinner and has lots more ink now.

 

[superjohn]

We still have people trying to figure out who Cobb is in the picture or if either of them are actually Cobb. This board never disappoints.

 

[UconnU]

Remember early last season when Cobb looked great in practice even started the first few games then kind of tailed off, got suspended, and fell out of favor with KO? I think that had a lot to do with his conditioning. This season that shouldn’t be a problem. I think he’s a great fit at the 4 spot. This picture just may be our starting front court.

It’s Cobb his body looks great. Hopefully it translates to the court. Certainly a lot better then him being 330. Theirs plenty of minutes open for bigs maybe he takes more then we originally thought.

 

[MadDogRevival]

I commend him on losing all the weight, he looks to be in great shape for running up and down the court, he doesn't exactly look all that muscular though.

Jeeez I wish I could look “not all that muscular”

You know DJ2, we have to remember not to compare ourselves to Superjohn - it's an unrealistic, unattainable body type. Like women with models in magazines.
Remember, compared to SuperJohn standards, Cobb is not all that muscular.

Does nobody see the E C tats on each bicep...?

But yeah he clearly leaned out and that’ll make everything and even his face look different, but also his complexion looks totally different in this new pic, skin looks way lighter

Not sure what/why he feels the need to be screaming something at that exact moment but that doesn’t help either

No, I do not.

Maybe Josh Carlton changed his first name to Edmund.

 

[gtcam]

Yeah, that is why there are a lot of comparisons to him and JC.

There aren't a lot of people like JC - plain and simple
Frank Martin is certainly not one but I like his feistiness and his take no prisoner attitude
I agree it was a nice touch that he recognized Cobb for his scholastic achievement
Way to go Eric!!!

It has been my experience that big ol' boys, if they are strong to begin with, then really get in shape, they do not lose any of their power/strength. They just hone it, define it, and even add more. Plus, he's not trying to move around that 35 pounds that's not there anymore.

Samson Johnson, in this picture look at his shoulders and his arms, they are seriously big, Eric is a powerful dude. Plus having all this new core strength which really positively affects everything. It's gonna translate to the court, hope it translates to defense. With this mojo he's got going in his head and his new basketball body, if he has tightened up his game some, he must have a real good shot at starting at the 4.

Hopefully not your cheesburger and pizza weight loss plan.

Better than Warde's "cheeseburgers in paradise" conference realignment plan.

He looks to be in prime 3 pt shooting shape

[LIuconn]

love that he's bought in, considering his past. If he's in, Jalen's 100% in - look out. It doesn't take much for a group of kids to turn it around if they want to

Love it. Kid could end up being a real game changer

Good for Cobb - hopefully it will translate to a solid season for him.

Calhoun - So he will still hold a consulting position at UConn, that's good.
