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

[grover]

For $1million, you can get 2 FCS & 1 G5 RB out the Portal.

Especially considering 2 of the top 5 leading rushers in the Nation right now are former G5'ers & the Nation leader is a current G5'er.

NGL, I just don't think Cooper is worth the investment. Has all the measurables but isn't a natural RB. I'd take CharMar over him 10 out of 10 times, and I'll bet UM NIL paid Brown less than half what UTX has committed to Cooper.

The returns say save the money for the portal, get sure fire talent via HS especially along the DL. If the kid wants in, you take him but not for that price. Not sure he is worth half that.

Give his money to Myson Johnson-Cook.

Looked like Fletcher on that run. No wonder Mario wants him so bad.

While running 10.7, this kid is a monster

Hope not

If it’s going to cost monumental money for him I feel like I’d rather have a Latimer and another DL of some sort. Not my money but still. I hate having to force a kid here lol

 

[judge smails army]

Maybe use those bags for DL

Ferman mentioned last night on his podcast that the deal with Texas was for 1M,didn't specify for how many years but also mentioned Miami was not going to pay that to a high school RB.

Texas dumb af

Derrek cooper does not want to come here and have one run play in the play book. Run straight up the middle over and over. There’s nothing appealing about Mario and Dawson offense. What we saw last year was not Dawson’s offense. It was Cam Ward going off script. Nobody can convince me otherwise. We saw this garbage with Van Dyke. And we are seeing the same again now

Idk if this kid has seen one win all year

That celebration is very FSU esque.

That would certainly throw a wrench in a lot of things (I care more about moving UF down the pecking order but all good)

Could you imagine Texas scooping Lane out from underneath them?
