Former Bishop Montgomery star Cobbs transferring from Minnesota to Cal

| | Comments (10) |

Point guard Justin Cobbs, a former Bishop Montgomery High standout, has decided to transfer to California (Berkeley) after playing his freshman year for Minnesota.

Cobbs, the 2009 Daily Breeze Boys Basketball Player of the Year, leaves the Golden Gophers after playing in 34 of the team's 35 games, averaging 2.1 points, 1.3 assists and 10.7 minutes per game as a backup.

Cal coach Mike Montgomery said he's excited to have Cobbs join his team.

"He had a fantastic high school career. He won a state championship. He has a year of experience in an excellent program in the Big Ten," Montgomery said. "He should really solidify our guard position for years to come. ... He has all the things you look for in a guard."

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports since 2007.
