The Eric Cobb Appreciation Thread

Love his energy and passion. Perfect compliment to Carlton down low.
 
Sorry I couldn’t resist...that dude was popping all over the place

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

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.

If I had his arms, I think I would have that same urge.

Polley added a solid 32 minutes and 9 pts and also hit some clutch shots as well. Nice job by Polley as well.

Yeah, played an all-around good game with a couple 3's and 3 blocks. Definitely like him at the 4 when we go small.

Him and Carlton are the perfect tag team, and I'm not talking committee.

Right. We can't call it by committee until Yakwe joins the party. Maybe next game. Yakwe has it in him, so I expect to see it somewhere down the road.

Your schtick still sucks and you are an embarassment to @nomar's beautiful avatar. Cobb looks solid. He looked comfortable with the ball in his hands at the high post, rebounded like a demon and had some solid footwork. Have you seen the returning bigs in the AAC? Not exactly a smorgasbord of talent. If Cobb can rebound like a beast, catch the ball and finish he will be a plus all year long.

Oh god suck on your inhaler a bit more.

Eric Cobb is <<<< worse than a lot of what we've had in the front court over the years. He was ostensibly thrown off the team a few months ago after a mostly unimpressive JUCO career. He's had moments, but this was his first really good game.

And truth is - he doesn't have to be great. Just OK. If him, Carlton and Yakwe can figure out who shows up 3-4 times a month, we're going to the tournament. But this idea he's really good is stupid. Even if he's improved.

I want to be wrong very, very badly. I'm just not going to get carried away. And if he outperforms his own talent - then good. That's what we should all want.
