'10 CA ATH Harold Mobley (Signed to Colorado)

[TheEvilBeak]

I just updated the Big 12 Commitment Tracker thread. Nebraska took its 3rd DE verbal over the weekend, with 5 total D-Linemen now. I believe EvilBeak is right and unless one or more of these guys falls out, it's doubtful Mobley is going to be a ****er (they're recruiting him as a DE).

Mobley is still a possibility at 2 positions. TE if a JUCO guy doesn't come and DE if the kid from Oregon doesn't come..1st and last name begin with Os and have lots of consonants. Big Time Player. Knows Suh.

Mobley will be good where ever he ends up.

I think he is waiting for that UCLA offer.

Ya We have been plan B to Nebraska for a while and it doesn't look like that's gonna work out. fUCLA

TE Chase Harper (JUCO), TX just verbaled the Corn.

Mobley sure would look good in black and gold.

Is he any relation to Orson?

John.

[bombay]

Neither John nor Orson.

John.

Neither John nor Orson.

From BuffStampede article dated May 27, 2009:

His cousin John Mobley played eight seasons as a linebacker for the Denver Broncos. He was an All-Pro in 1997. His great uncle is former "Fearsome Foursome" defensive lineman Roosevelt Grier.

Oh. Bad assumption on my part, John being from Philadelphia and this kid from California. John's brother Phil is a friend of mine and he didn't mention it when I saw him last week, but then again, why would he.

Two of John's brothers still live in Denver. Maybe that would be of some help in recruiting Harold.

Damnnnnnnn. That's some bloodlines.

[SuperiorBuff]

John.

I assumed Orson due to position.

[ThndringHerd]

I assumed Orson due to position.

I did too. Bronco blood, either way.

[sliderNcider]

I wonder what's going on with him now

New Scout Article

Riddle's been recruiting him hard and has kept us in it by working the phones and making the only in-home visit Mobley has had. But Mobley says he is 65-70% Nebraska and has been close to committing a couple times. Family pressure is split (uncle likes NU, sisters like CU). Looks like it's going to be the Corn. Wildcard in all this is UCLA. That seems to be where he would really want to go, but they haven't offered.

I don't understand this guy(Mobley). The ONLY way he goes to NU is if NU has other decommits or we Greyshirt a few(like maybe him).

We took our TE in Harper, We have 3 DE for this class and he is way down the list for WR(if he could even play there).

On the other hand, he seems too good for other teams to not be all over him.
