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

[JennStrawley’sBabyDaddy]

I honestly can’t remember 1 “cane lock” that looked around, pushed back their commitment, then actually came here. I could be wrong, but I’ve been doing this a long time and that never goes our way.

So we're gonna go from worried about pushing out Mallory to only landing him alone . This is a massive failure. And at this point I question if even winning 10 games and an ACCCG will even matter to turning the corner.

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 am here

Doesnt usually happen but this is the roadmap Cantwell just took. Probably not same outcome here but yeah.

Guys relax he’s got Miami gloves on

Check the slippers. That’s how u find the truth.

I didn’t want to believe when I read it 1-2 days ago but this has been the deal for some time now with cooper.

I know alot of mothers, I mean alot, NOT one single one wants their baby boy to move hundreds of miles of way. Not one.

So if he is going to Texas its because they waxed our number.

Is Mom getting a cozy job and house in Texas or was the narrative that she wants him close false

Money talks, simple as that. RB is the easiest position to fill. I’m not worried. Cooper wasn’t winning us any games this season anyway. I believe in the horses we got in that room. Go Canes!

 

[iamB_rock]

#1 offense in the nation. Elite OL. Kid in the back yard. And alleged too NIL.if you can’t land this “lock” Holy whiff

 

[Coach Macho]

Sucks but RB is the last position I'm worried about.

 

[nickster]

This definitely is a whiff if we lose Cooper but it's not a make or break situation like Cam Ward was. We have a decent backfield BUT it's time for Mario to start winning NOW. I believe if Carson Beck plays to his potential we can and should win the ACC along with being in the playoffs. I'm certain these recruits are hearing a ton of negative recruiting versus Mario. The way you stop this is WIN AND WIN BIG. Beating BOTH ND and FL are a must and let's see what happens. If Mario pulls another year like last my gut is that he will be on the hot seat! Such a pity the Coopers wasted all of UM's time if they decide to go to Texas but he does not define this team at all.

Is that because of the roster currently ? Or is it the nfl mindset of next man up rbs don’t matter don’t pay them ?

Cause man idk rbs matter is college. Previous champions show that to us.
Taint: judkins and henderson
Michigan: corum and edwards
Georgia: not elite but Milton and edwards

But if you have me the option of Stewart and green the safety’s or cooper then give me the safety’s. Problem is we aren’t getting either of them

Ya in CFB running back quality definitely matters.

Lots of Texas buzz this AM out at the Crib Classic.

This must be going over like a ***** in church with our future targets.

Thank god we stole Mallory from Bama

@DMoney, so does this recruiting news mean we're going Portal shopping in the Winter window?
