The Eric Cobb Appreciation Thread

[spudzj6]

I’m loving Cobb’s performance tonight, but cmon. Zion would dunk over Cobb, nuts in face and all.

Obviously...

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Cobb was the best BIG on the court tonight.
Unbelievable.
Thank You Cobb!!!!!!!

We saw more growth in Cobb in 2 weeks with Hurley than 2 years with Ollie.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Let Cobb shoot. He's our stretch point 5 and he needs to be recognized for his bevy of skills.

 

[huskyinfl]

All praises be to Lord Cobb. Bless up.

 

[Lefty2one]

Love his energy and passion. Perfect compliment to Carlton down low.

I’m smiling so wide & hard that people at my job may think I’m happy to be there

Ok, fair enough. You got me.

 

[TerryBoyz]

Sorry I couldn’t resist...that dude was popping all over the place

 

[spudzj6]

Ok, fair enough. You got me.

Although if we face duke, it’s in the tourney, so color me serious, I’d take that!

All that great stuff that Cobb did,rebounds, points, defend, but the best thing he did was catch the ball on the foul line against that zone and quickly make a decision. Opened things up when we needed it.

 

[imno1]

That had to be one of our best rebounding games as a team in quite some time. Hats of to Jalen also with 8 boards

 

[WrenchFan69]

Would love to see Cobb making a few hundred K on a Greek beach court for the next 10 years.

 

[Waquoit]

He just needs to realize that the glass is his friend.

Late in the game Cobb got an offensive rebound down low and I am yelling at the TV to pass it out. He tries to make a move and gets called for an offensive foul which looked like a flop. No replay of course which was going on all night. Boeheim wanted all ticky tac fouls called on us only. Cobb did a great job tonight not trying to do too much. This bodes well for the future. I was very impressed with his effort on the boards but with his athleticism and strength this should be an every night thing. He really should be the player he was tonight. Good for him!

Let's be honest. Eric Cobb is not good.

But he's playing. So. Good.

I swear if we go to the NCAA tournament with a team of Eric Cobb's, basically - look out for when we actually have legit talent. And I don't mean to knock these kids. But they're max effort.

But wanna put you mark on a program? Save it. Be the team that wasn't that talented, but got the job done because effort and caring about what you're representing. And you can hold your s------- above everyone for eternity.

If this is gonna be our rebuilding year, sign me ---- up.

Eric is a space eater down low. He gets good position and keeps it. 13 rebounds.

Disagree.

I thinking Cobb IS good. He's got handle, hands, a decent shot, decent footwork, and can rebound. Now that he's much thinner, he has fitness too.

Brace yourself for a big year from the big man...

I know what you're saying but we have legit talent, our backcourt is damn good.

 

[Towney007]

It's really good. Up front, not as much.

I REALLY don't mean to be mean. But a team that's better than the sum of its parts is 1000% what this program needs right now.

 

[Towney007]

Bottom line - with their front court - that's a team that should eat a team like ours alive.

They didn't because effort.

If someone shows up for the big games - be it Cobb, Carlton or Yakwe - we'll be fine.

[Com'rGordon]

Not gonna lie i was going to post early in the game that Cobb was a liability because he couldn't do anything to help us against the zone. I'm a pos, long live hurley

 

[Huskybass]

Love Cobb, his performance tonight reminded me of Justin McBride from UCF against us a few years ago. He has skill, he just needs to resist the urge to knock guys over when he has the ball.
