Still A Target?

Early UNT target

TheTastyGreek · October 13, 2010

Still a target? I sure hope so.

Based on some message board chatter (and an Oklahoma State rivals article) it sounds like he's not interested in committing early to anyone. Considering how much we need to lock in a lot of early signees, I'm not shocked that we haven't heard more about him.

Probably better to try and get him here on a visit during basketball season (Tech game?) rather than football season. That was one of the things that Abron said hurt us after he made his official visit.

You tend to be one of the guys that knows the most about HS talent and appropriate recruiting targets. The first time I heard Robinson's name was when you wrote something about him, maybe a year ago. Is there something going on that we don't know about with him?

One side note: Looking up Robinson's Rivals page reminded me why it's so important to take some of the information that Rivals lists with a grain of salt.

According to his Rivals page, Robinson has a scholarship offer from Centenary.

But this is Centenary's final year as a D-1 basketball program. Next year, they compete on the non-scholarship D-3 level. D-3 rules forbid any athletic financial support... Basically, an "offer" from Centenary can literally only be an offer to attend school there and play basketball with no scholarship or other athletics monetary aid.

He was an early verbal to Utah in 2009 then backed out so I guess we can stratch them off the list (?) as well as Tech because I think they are full. Arkansas & Oklahoma State I believe only have 1 more ship to give , but I'm not sure. Says he wants to wait as long as possible , so that's got to be good for us. Offers not on the rivals list include USC,Penn State & Marquette

I think that unlisted Penn State offer may actually be Penn.

He's listed on an Ivy League recruiting blog as having an offer from them.

I really don't understand the interest in this kid, other than length. Its almost impossible to state how soft he is right now.

Length and yet still soft... How is it that you know this about him?

Yeah you're right. He's definitely not Sunbelt material and how dare he think he think he deserves to set foot on he Super Pit. You guys over at SMU can have him.

Take it easy, people. This is why we can't have guest over to visit us.

From what I recall, ESPN and Scouts evaluations say the same thing as far as lack of toughness/focus.

With Army in your name you should understand "dont ask, dont tell" better than anyone.

Robinson is visiting Tech this weekend

1) How many scholarships do those bastards have to give out this year?

2) To borrow the tongue-in-cheek observation from Cooley: Will landing Robinson allow them to lock down the top recruiting haul in the Sun Belt?

Don't defend that guy...

It's like defending that NT03 character every time he goes to an opponent's site and tells them how much we suck.

Just 1 more. I'm sure they will say now or never to him this weekend.

That is the Navy you are thinking of.

The only soft I see in him is in his shot. I have to go to Abilene sometime this Fall, and I'll see if I can time it to where I can catch one of his games.
