Northwestern lands four-star guard

Northwestern got on the 2010 recruiting board in a big way when four-star shooting guard Jershon Cobb committed to the program after his official visit.

"I have a great opportunity to play right away at Northwestern and receive a great education," said Cobb, 6-foot-4, 170-pounds from Atlanta Columbia High School. "They plan on letting me do a little bit of everything from playing the point to playing on the wing to posting up some. I'm really excited about the chance."

Cobb, who averaged 20 points per game as a junior, was also considering Cincinnati, Bradley and Marshall.

He is the No. 90 ranked prospect in the Rivals150.
