2016 Verbal: Jabril Cox

[gavin2126]

I just looked at Jabril’s twitter followers. I think he has someone from basically every FBS school on there between position coaches and recruiting coordinators. This a rough list of teams I saw coaches/recruiters for before I got bored and stopped looking.

Michigan state
Michigan
Alabama
LSU
Texas
Virginia
Florida
Florida State
Washington
Minnesota
Iowa State
Washington State
Tennessee
Texas Tech
Baylor
Kansas
Syracuse
SMU
Toledo
LA Tech
Liberty
Florida Atlantic
East Carolina
Northwestern
Eastern Michigan
Ball State
Kent State
Georgia Tech
Nebraska
Mississippi State
Cal
Utah
UNC
Illinois

(This doesn’t include Iowa and KState where we have known coaching ties)

Interesting to note that both Bama and LSU have multiple coaches following Jabril including Ed Ogeron.

Maybe he'll go to UNC so he can beat JMU one last time.

Sad that a school like LSU can't develop their own players when they bring in all sorts of 4 and 5 star players every year.

Yeah, LSU can't develop players so they have to come poach them from North Dakota... ffs!

Sucks for us but if a student athlete comes to NDSU and graduates, their "debt" is paid in full as far as I am concerned.
I hope he comes back but with all the schools after him, it would be hard to turn down an opportunity to play 7 home games at a place like LSU. Now, if he leaves us for a MAC program, let the boo birds fly and lets burn his jersey in the Ducks parking lot.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. He's already projected as a mid round pick. We'll see how much a year at a P5 changes that either up or down.

It could also be about personal development as well.

Then maybe he should have taken an FBS offer, or walked on at an FBS school. Need to insert "In my opinion", in front of your post. NDSU is not some junior college for FBS teams to pick up players from. Also, seems many of the younger generation don't have a clue what loyalty means.

Our very own PL transferred. I am mostly with you, but I get it. These guys got one shot at for sure playing football. He wants to play FBS. He is probably going to go to a P5 and have a great time. NDSU has taken transfers in the past. Guys transfer more nowadays. It can suck but dude wants a new experience so hopefully he gets what he was looking for. Think it'd be great to see him in the P5.

I cant believe anyone wouldn't support him for this. He just went two years undefeated and maybe just wants a challenge.. other than Oregon next year we will still be favored by 21 plus in almost every game so I doubt it costs us any wins either.

Where would he be projected in the NFL draft if he declared this year? He had already made a name for himself why risk injury playing an "FBS" schedule haha. We can finally tilt the tables on the FBS schedule arguments! But serious - He has has a tremendous impact while he was here and good luck to him in the future!

Selfishly sad to see Jabril go, but NO,he is NOT betraying any of us nor his teammates nor anything related to Bison Culture and Pride. I wish he'd be drafted while a Bison, but he is still a Bison wherever he goes. Who wouldn't want to play 60,000 fans-in-the-stands football as soon as he can?!

This is a perfect reflection on how we should all feel.

Man Oh Man, if Cox can get on LSU with Coach O and Bo....what a joy that would be!

He played 4 years. During that time he represented us well in the community, and he excelled on the football field the class room and he will be graduating in May..
He has fulfilled his contract with me.

If the right situation doesnt present itself that will increase his draft stock I will welcome his return with open arms.
