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

[canesbaby]

Absolutely correct. #1 in the ACC the last 3 cycles.

Let's win the ACC, let's make the playoffs, and then let's elevate a notch or two when we are in the Big 10. Or SEC. And have the corresponding money.

Love the subtle throw in "Or SEC". Definitely got my attention. Much prefer B1G for some great new travel destinations but if the SEC is a real option I gotta believe Rudy is seriously evaluating that.

This doesn't tell the actual story though. Shaun Shivers was the RB coach and track coach at Chaminade last year. He just recently took a job with Eastern Michigan.

This thread just needs some talk of George The Animal Steele, Best BBQ Sandwich state, and what was the loudest Miami game you have ever been to and how you are wrong its was as loud as ______.

Then we can lock this up.

With a possible housing and condo crash we can probably get a good chunk of land somewhere near the old ob and build our own stadium!!

That's weird maybe it was the running back coach after that

Cam likely coached him during spring. I think its a great addition but I doubt it changes anything with Cooper.

You good, gang. Ignore the hate.

Nah it ain't got nothing to do with hate. I don't care about any of that. But how many people does he know that killed themselves over their jobs. That ****ed their brains up for his entertainment. That are sitting in prison for God knows how long because they don't make rational thoughts. Then some ***** *** dude like him will make a comment about CTE like it's just funny. CTE isn't an amusing topic for me. People wanna get laughs go try out stand up. Ain't **** about what we put in is a joke.

Looking forward to seeing what Damien can do this year as the new Dline coach because we absolutely need him to get the defensive line room to elevate for a playoff run.

I got a lot of confidence in Damion. Only deciding factor on that for me is how much JT gets in his way.

Didn’t we do this from a basketball standpoint to try to get The Boozers?

I don’t like moves like this, honestly; but, we’ll see if it works out.

We ever have contact?

Idk who this is, but I hope it's someone Texas wants.

South Cack a lack

So has the ship sailed on this one or are we still in the game?

No one knows BUT that’s not gonna stop them from trying to convince us

It does seem like desperation but hope it works

 

[JamesQuall]

**** I missed the good part? ****.

We getting soft because someone mentioned CTE?

 

[Dwinstitles]

Hiter is the better back by far imo, you give him anything. But I still take Cooper, you can’t keep letting the best in your backyard leave.

I dont think that is fair because the Boozers were already locked up to Duke at that point. If we had hired Jai a year sooner maybe.
