Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2114519, member: 10"] Article from Jeff Jacobs. Mostly about Frank Martin but some stuff on Eric Cobb in there. [I]After playing for Chipola (Fla.) Junior College this past winter, Cobb, the big body rebounder UConn dearly needs, committed to the Huskies. "I just spoke to Eric [Wednesday]," Martin said. "He is a beautiful kid. All of us who get old, we start judging these kids and we forget ourselves when we were that age. None of us were perfect. None of us lived life at 18, 19 without making mistakes. Some of us got away with it. "I am telling you he is a beautiful kid. He comes from a background of difficulty. I'll never forget the day he knocked on my door and goes, 'Coach, look, look. I haven't had a 3.0 since second grade.' He wanted to show me his grades. Kevin [Ollie] is going to be a great role model for the kid. I'm happy for Kevin. I'm even happier for Eric. He didn't pout. He didn't complain. He went to junior college, handled it right and now he has another opportunity."[/I] [URL="http://www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-jacobs-column-south-carolina-teacher-0324-20170323-column.html"]Jeff Jacobs: From S.C.’s Sweet 16 Team To UConn’s Eric Cobb, Frank Martin Always Teaching[/URL] [/QUOTE]
