Farad Cobb (6'1/G/2014) of NW Florida State is currently on an official visit to Cincinnati
 
University of San Francisco lean as of now never know after his visit here. Scoring guard who shoots high percentage from 3 and Ft line. To me this is a guy who comes off the bench for you and drops 7-8 a game and may have an outburst or two where he drops 15-20 every now and then.
 
Another late random transfer. Just googled some JuCo stats and I want him pretty badly. Looks like a lights-out shooter. Shot 46.3% from 3-point range (75/162) and 51% overall field goals. Had a game where he went 8/9 from behind the arc. 82.5% free throws. Throw in 3.4 assists per game and just 1.7 TOs. He's only 6'1" and would probably have to play the point or a little bit of SG.

Has good range and looks quick. He would be a good addition.

Looks like he has a little Cash Wright in him.

He retweeted Chad about his official visit. I think he could very easily commit. I mean UC or San Francisco? Easiest choice ever.
 
He has tools I look for in G. He's quick, excellent handles, high confidence, and deadly shooter. Didn't see him dunk though, like my players to try dunk.instead of lay ups

If you're expecting a little 6'1" guy to posterize, you're nuts. Very few of that size can dunk in traffic. And if they can only dunk without traffic, there's no difference between that and a layup.

i never once saw the Big O dunk. All I care about is making the basket.

No big deal. Just like guys that explosive around rim. I name 5 positives bout him, wanna talk about them?

Me and you both its been hard past years making them though. EVERY position on team has struggled with shots around rim. Going for dunk be aggressive wouldn't hurt to try once

have no problem with guys drawing contact. Really think Shaq would be a much better player if he would draw contact instead of trying to avoid it. I think players today rely on atheletism rather then body position and fundamentals. My point is rather then throwing a occasional dunk down I would rather have a fundamentally sound player who knows how to score and draw fouls.
 
Hopefully Shaq, JL, Clark and DeBerry dunk enough that our guards don't have to worry about it.

It's hard to be too excited bc I didn't even know who Cobb was when I woke up this morning, but I like the idea of killing 2 birds and getting a ball handler and shooter in 1 player. I didn't know anyone besides Devonte Graham was out there this spring at this position.

That's my point. Young guys today don't want contact at all. If you show aggressiveness and go for dunk guys are going to get out your way or foul you.
