DeMarco Cobbs did not attend UT’s camp but insisted that no one should read anything into his absence.
“I’m definitely still considering Tennessee,” the 6-1, 200-pound receiver from Tulsa (Okla.) Central High School said.
Cobbs said he expects UT to be one of his top five schools when he cuts down his list. Widely considered one of the top 100 prospects in the nation, Cobbs has 37 scholarship offers and is primarily considering UT, Southern California, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Texas Christian.
Cobbs hasn’t been to Knoxville, so getting him on campus is a must for UT’s coaches. Cobbs said he’s trying to secure a summer visit. If not, he’ll likely take an official visit to UT this fall.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to visit,” Cobbs said. “I’ll definitely try to make some plans to go out there and visit. We’ll just have to see.”
Cobbs said he’s a fan from afar of UT’s coaching staff, especially Lane Kiffin and his history of explosive offenses at USC.
“I want to be able to play in a pro-style offense with some of the spread,” Cobbs said.
Cobbs is being recruited by UT defensive backs coach Willie Mack Garza.
Roster Report II: The trio of defensive backs from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale did not make the trip north for UT’s camp. Cody Riggs, Lamarcus Joyner and Keion Payne were expected to attend but didn’t make the trip because of a scheduling conflict, Riggs said.
Riggs said Georgia and Florida lead for his services but he’s intrigued by Tennessee’s coaching staff and still hears from them “a lot”.
“I heard the coaches are doing some real good things so I want to check it out,” Riggs said. “I don’t know much about the coaching staff so I want to get up there.”
Riggs said he’ll likely take an official visit to Knoxville during the season but hasn’t selected a date yet.
Riggs is the younger brother of former UT tailback Gerald Riggs, Jr.

TEXAS CHRISTIAN????? You talk about an odd inclusion. With that company, it's like one raisin in the bowl of corn flakes!

spot on smokeydog, I completely concur with your statement toward zrotag!

I agree, 1standGoal! I was expecting really good news of a real commit when I clicked on the article (although I didn't think Cobbs was that close to a commitment to us and he's not). Poor choice of words in the headline by the writer. Ppl make mistakes...

Dave used the word "committed" in his headline just to get us to read the article. It worked. We're starved for good recruiting news and they know it!

You told it all wrong. Once you get to the 27 part, you then ask how many dollars does the bellhop have..$2 so how many dollars is that? Make them say $29.
The answer is 27 minus the $2 bellhop for $25 which is what the manager has....
AllVol1 writes:
This is a silly challenge. Accounting for the money is simply a matter of addition, not some convoluted series of mathematical processes. The manager has $25 in his register. The worker has $2 in his pocket. The guys have $3 between them. 25+2+3=30. I don't see what this proves about intelligence.
"That's what your wife said..."? Do you really need to go there? Does this represent intelligence? I understand you got angry at the other guy, but honestly, this makes you seem childish. Now I said "seem". I do not pretend to know you or judge you. So, think on this a little before reacting. I am not trying to insult you, but I must say that I would like to see UT fans rise above the little squabbles and petty insult games. We could be a strong Orange Nation, but we need to rise above the behaviors that make us seem backward, ignorant, and immature.
Let's try talking football, ignoring trolls, refraining from Inner-Orange insults. Let's unite in the Swarm!

Yow!! Lil testy, huh? I know Mondays suck, but ... your seriously gonna tell people what they can and can not post about? And when you 'gay' are you referring to 'happy' or using a homophobic intended slur?!? And I say 'slur' because of the context in which it was used... Just asking -- not trying to start a huge debate or anything...

I mean "when you say 'gay' -- LOL
AllVol1 writes:
Thanks for the Amen's Jackdup and Bolivar!! And thanks for getting into the Union of the Orange Swarm--or should we say the United Orange Swarm--or Orange Swarm United? That's my vision, though. If we could be united as the Orange Nation, we would stand head and shoulders above all other programs. Everybody can squabble and fling insults. FU, USC, Bama, everybody--they all bicker among themselves and in so doing, bring themselves down. Let's raise the level of the swarm to new heights. That would be the BUZZ!!

MagicMan, show us how you dissapear!
At the O&W game, I spoke with Coach O and asked him his opinion of all the Orange color around. He said, "I love it!" I told him it was an Orange Swarm and it was going to get bigger. He said he liked the "Orange Swarm" and was going to use that! We should see the D-Line do an Orange Swarm on the opposing backs soon!
