2026 Derrek Cooper 5* RB/ATH from Chaminade Commits to Texas

[GrozDozer]

Several issues with this post.

1. We DO NOT have the the current roster Texas has.

2.Texas will finish ranked ahead of Miami.

3. Miami does not have the winning or draft picks to sell.

Then why do they keep whiffing on recruits this cycle?

 

[Problem2]

Texas will have a better class than us when all said and done.

Think it’s gonna be pretty close. They’ll get Matthews. Atkinson is going to Georgia most likely

Most of their other top targets have commited elsewhere, with us hopefully getting Cooper

I don’t think much of Texas. Sark is a mid coach and they haven’t done anything much in most kids lifetimes either

But they’ve proven they’ll get their recruits (recently) unlike us. So not sure why we even bring them up comparing to us

Pipo, Lamar Brown is from Louisiana.

I know. Was saying LSU didn’t let him leave their backyard cause they ponied up. We have to do the same with the top recruit in our back yard.

Was just an observation, yall acting like I said Miami was better lmao

Oh not meant towards what you were saying at all my fault

I’m old enough to remember everyone here sucking off USC and Lincoln Riley his first year as well

Takes a few years to let it play out

With Cooper it’s probably a bit concerning that they’re feeling pressure to land him. We’re not FSU. We took Wiley from them (if I have my facts straight) but still

Been saying to y'all mom was pulling the strings. Go see her X account.

So the UM HOF pulls the strings but now he may be slipping away?

My bad, I just hate seeing comparisons to established football programs when Syracuse and Duke are our real competitors.

Hes not slipping away at all Texas is just upping the bag and we will have to match. The mom wants both highest possible bag + DC to stay home. How often in the past have we seen this play out in the past being on the opppsite side ? But somehow this is new to people now lol

Didn’t they literally just have the #1 class ? People on here are wild. We are a tier below the bama Georgia taint Texas recruiting tier

A lot of words for so little substance. Reminds me of a few of you mouthbreathers.

They've come into the state of Florida and taken who they want from the skill position since Sark got there so i can see why some would compare.

I wouldn't exactly call that going out on a limb

Gaby being fed what to say

 

[AUcane]

I've heard many folks pretty solid on Cooper to Miami but I've heard other "insiders" claim that Cooper is gone, most likely to Texas. His family is supposedly looking for reasons to bail on miami.

Only in sofla.

I guess that’s kinda what I meant. We can’t really compare ourselves to them on a recruiting front because we aren’t on their level

At least at the moment and certainly not moping about our recruiting
