It would be interesting if he was Coach Fulmer screwed up big time not recruiting Randall Cobb
You are so right. I don't know how many times folks have to debunk the myth that UT didn't recruit Cobb but they didn't lie to him so he went elsewhere.Don't blame Fulmer. He was the only one telling Cobb the truth. Cobb wanted to be a QB and Fulmer told him he was going to be an NFL receiver. Guess what... Played QB for like 3 games at UK and then switched to WR. The rest is history.
Thanks for the info Dog I didn't know that about Fulmer telling him that he should play WR and it's too bad that he didn't listenUT did make a run at Cobb late in the high school season. I remember seeing UT coaches at an Alcoa game on the news one night. Pretty sure it was Chavis of all people, but it was way too late to flip him
From what i have been told, coming from his grandfather, Cobb wanted to be a VOL all his life. He was a huge standout in our back yard and we didnt recruit him until late into his senior season and he was already comfortable with/at Kentucky and didn't want to start all over. Was also, in my opinion, a little hurt it took us so long to recruit him.You are so right.

Yeah, that's about how I remember it, tooFrom what i have been told, coming from his grandfather, Cobb what to be a VOL all his life.

What about all the other names as well? Lay off the boozeI am not superstitious or anything but was the last time we won a National Championship a guy named Tee won it. Has there been another kid named Tee since then here. I know we missed on tee Higgins. Maybe this is the Tee we need to reverse the curse. I know I might be overthinking this. Just having fun tho.
UK also gave him a shot at QB, which Fulmer wouldn't promise. Fulmer saw him as a WR. Guess he was right.From what i have been told, coming from his grandfather, Cobb wanted to be a VOL all his life.

RivalsAnother running back from the state of Tennessee, Hodge is a class of 2020 prospect with great size for and a hard running style that make him tough to bring down. Right now, he only has major offers from Tennessee and Louisville, but after coaches get a chance to see his film it’s going to be hard for several other programs that feature a big back not to offer. Expect him to move up the charts at his position when it comes time for the next rankings update.
