DL Willie Mobley (transfer to Orange Coast)

[Jaxbuck]

I can't believe for the life of me that at this point in his tenure people are still questioning JT and his staff on talent evaluation/development.

[RB07OSU]

First off it was one game...then you also have to look and see how well he did in all of his other games. Other coaches rave about his production and how difficult he is to block (the article is in this thread). He also is outstanding on film and would be a great compliment to Goebel. Just adding some other points beyond the obvious one, which is that JT wants him and we should too.

But on the other hand, if our staff sees fit to offer Mobley a schollie, then I will give that the most merit by far. Maybe his HS coaches just don't know how to utilize his skills - don't know, I didn't see the game like Butcher and Hollywood did.

Oh, I'm not discounting any reports. I don't know anything about this Mobley kid. I was just teasing him about his wording in his post.

Willie says he will likely visit Ohio State, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe Tennessee.

Willie says he is leaning heavily to leaving the state and tOSU and Wisconsin will definitely receive visits. He picked up offers from Tennessee and Louisville.

The UL letter was leaked; here's a portion of it:

William,

The Louisville program would like to extend an offer to you to play football for the Cardinals. With it comes the opportunity to play (or even start!) on our defensive line immediately... in fact, can you be here this Saturday?

Best Wishes,

The Cardinal Family

P.S. PLEASE HURRY!

Prep football: Eden Prairie dominates, clinches share of crown
The Eagles took control in the first half, going up 33-0 on Kennedy. Even defensive end Willie Mobley got in on the scoring.

By Brian Stensaas, Star Tribune
Last update: October 12, 2007

Eight different players scored in the game, including Willie Mobley's first touchdown of the year. The 6-2, 265-pound Division I defensive line recruit reported in on offense on the second play of the second quarter and caught a 5-yard pass from quarterback Ryan Grant for the score.

Mike Grant said Mobley could have the best hands on the team.

"I don't know about that," a smiling Mobley said. "I just want the ball. I'll play center; I'll even kick."

From the OSU site...talks about his team's season and his performance individually (down to 250 lbs.). Talks about where on the DL he likes/see himself playing in college and talks about the rampant rumors on the Internet about his recruitment as well as his interest in OSU and Minnesota.

[RB07OSU]

I love how he is a DE/DT combo...we could use either one really so he will contribute wherever he fits in best.

Mobley did not visit Wisconsin this weekend and talks about his upcoming visit to OSU and his communication with other OSU recruits/verbals.

[CausticMick]

Um, that sounds good.... really good.
