Center coach Larry Taddeo isn't saying much about his team, but he can't keep two-way starter Ashton Cobb a secret.
Cobb, a 2004 all-Midwestern Conference selection at defensive back, drew interest from Cincinnati, Indiana, Bowling Green and Akron, but decided to make a verbal commitment to Kentucky.
