So is it LSU, Bama, Vol race??? I feel like if a recruit has a final three with one of those three the other two are in it???

USC could still be on his list, especially considering that they were the leader like 15 minutes ago

but maybe it was just too far away for him

USC is still on his list:

One school that is sure to make the cut, Cobbs confirmed, is LSU.

What other schools are in the running to make the final five?

“Alabama, Tennessee, USC, Georgia, Florida and Oklahoma are the other schools I am really feeling,” he said. “I am just trying to weigh out the pros and cons of each, because it seems like my overall feeling changes everyday.”

7.5 Cobbs

Cobbs’ favorite list, which he said he plans to trim down in the next few days, consists of Alabama, Arizona, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, USC, Tennessee and Texas.

"I’ll play a lot more receiver this fall,” said Cobbs, who had six catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns in 2008.

I dont see him at Bama, would love to have him but doubt it. I think he waits to see what teams do well, who can play him as a freshman, and if wanting to be a WR which teams throw the ball the most.

The concern for UT this year will they demonstrate a passing offense enough to entice him. I know we probably wont. Even if passing is in the futre for Kiffin he might run more this year to try and win games, especially with Brown added to a good backfield. Bama showed even with a weak offense you can win games by running.

I agree. In this situation for UT hypothetically, Kiffin might say he didn't have the players to pass more but if he had Cobbs then he could pass more.

I know you just joined this site, but I have to say that you are without a doubt the best Bama contributor we got. I think we all share the concerns you alluded to before. I still have this feeling that Crompton might just have needed the right situation and system to utilize all of his potential. Perhaps Kiffin's system is the answer. I think if you see Crompton in the top half of SEC QB's this fall and Scroggins commits, we have as good of a shot as anybody. Of course alot of things would have to go right for that to happen...

I agree if Kiffin can demostrate to players like Cobb or even Prater that his system will incorporate and good passing scheme I think he will get the WRs coming, but it does depend on several factors. No matter where UT might be in the pecking order of the SEC right now the fact still remains that everyone knows they will be back and again they play in the best conference. No player can get better looks from the NFL than playing in the SEC. UT is not MissState or Arkansas that has a good year here or there. They are a program that usually competes year end year out. Why wouldn't a player who has NFL potential be in a program that offers that, plus a chance right now to start as a true freshman.

Personally I have more concern with us holding all our commitments to NSD. It is nice to have a top 5 class each year but some players might not see that appeal when it comes to playing time. But again my two cents for what it is worth.

"My top six is in no order, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, Oklahoma and Florida," Cobbs said Thursday night.

Tennessee: "Lane Kiffin is from USC, and he ran that offense the two years they won the national championship. He has college and NFL experience, and I know he will try and install the same offense at Tennessee. They are going to bring in the same type of players too, and while they are rebuilding, anyone who goes in now has a good chance of making plays and winning games for him. I believe this year they are going to take their lumps and bruises, but by my sophomore year they will be a good team and making some noise in the SEC."

i like his mentality. its refreshing really. he knows what to expect, a bit of a realist. he knows that he isnt going to be utilized to his potential his freshman year and that our team will be relatively young. that says a lot, and he believes that we are in the right direction and that he can be apart of it. he knows what CLK plans to do here. all we have to do is convince him that if he comes here and is ready to ride out the "bumps and bruises" before he is a star then we have a legit shot at him IMO.

cool thanks man. However, I don't have a membership. Does he sound about equally high on everyone or does one school stand out

he talks most about UGA, but thats because its UGA's site, and i would say hes pretty even on everyone, if u divided it in the middle for three higher teams and three lower, just based off his comments id say.. top:UGA, UT, Oklahoma, bottom: LSU, UF, BAMA.. jmo

He should have said Georgia cracks under pressure in big time ball games.

I can't see him going to Georgia or Bama. Too much talent at WR all ready and he really doesn't sound too big on LSU. I know he was discouraged with them in the Spring cuz they weren't contacting him. My guess right now is that the Sooners are the leader...

And imo, Cobbs > Ambles...
