From a strictly football standpoint, with everything that has transpired in Waco this 2016 recruiting cycle will probably go down as one of the strangest maybe ever. And only helping add to that narrative was 2016 CB Parrish Cobb’s decision on Friday to re-join the University of Oklahoma’s 2016 signing class after Baylor granted Cobb a release from his national letter of intent.

Few here need to be reminded Cobb had long been an OU commit prior to changing his mind shortly before NSD staying closer to home and signing with the Bears. After being granted his release, however, Cobb did not lack for suitors now that a top-flight cornerback was unexpectedly back on the market.

Ultimately though it was Cobb’s previous connections to the OU defensive backs coach Kerry Cooks and the staff as a whole that won out in the end and the talented DB is now headed to Norman (again).
