Reidsville Rams RB/LB Jariell Cobb Offered by UNC

[TheMule]

Was earlier slated to attend Air Force Academy. Great student and a hard worker. Attitude A+++

Don't know about other offers. Maybe other Reidsville posters have more insight.

Jariel probably had about 10 offers or more on total . He had Ivy League offers, hbcu offers and the likes of Marshall and app state . He had a Louisville offer, idk if they rescinded it or not.

But I’m pretty sure he will probably take the unc offer if I had to guess.

Kinda sad if he backs out of the Academy. But I totally understand and very happy for his hard work paying off

Good for him whoever he chooses.

In the long term, I would think, that sheepskin from the academy would be worth more.
Not to mention the character molding.

Plus they run the ball mostly so it makes sense, but to be fair Carolina sends alot of RBs to the next level.

Would you rather take 100k right now, or a penny a day, doubled every day, for 30 days?

Thats the best analogy I can come up with for this.

With big-time schools like Ivy League and tough competition like Louisville throwin' offers, he got a lot on his plate. It's real nice he’s gettin’ props from all them different schools, shows he put in that grind and got mad skills.

Cobb is a baller. Easily the best player on the field for Reidsville when we played them this year, he carried them. Without him, Page wins.

That’s why when he went down right before the playoffs we were done for.

I agree that with him
Going down was probably gonna cost a state championship but losing to East Rutherford is ridiculous with or without him…..

I can agree with that

Cobb was huge for us in stopping the run. That was our Achilles heel this season.

They were NOT going to win a state championship with or without him. They had Cobb and struggled with West Stokes and Walkertown. They were weak in the trenches on both sides and weak at linebacker. East Rutherford was already good at slowing down run games, and their DB's overachieved in shutting down the Rams in the air. Forest Hills, Shelby, Monroe, and Brevard would have eaten them up for snacks.

Some of you Triad citizens starting to sound like those guys out east. Stop

But my POINT was it definitely wasn’t happening with out him all I said. Do I think we would’ve won with him, no.

He didnt play enough D to matter honestly.

I think he would have n the playoffs. Teams that can run the ball, eat clock and keep our offense off the field would always give us trouble. We lost a lot of LB leadership from last year.

Yes, he would have been a LB that would actually TRY to make a tackle if given a chance.

#0 should have been dominant on defense

Key word there being "should".

The game against East Rutherford we had him at linebacker and that was a mistake

And fwiw I don’t think that was his fault. I get why they tried it cause we were desperate
