Me either and if he lets his brother run his recruiting process he isn't a fit here----or at Stanford.
Robertson skipping Georgia visit this weekend?
- Thread starter Mikeyk24
- Start date
Exactly....too many people in his ear....three high schools...all the time in the world to get your marks / test scores but wait until the last minute...even if he shows up at ND this is not the type of person who sticks it through.
http://georgiatech.blog.ajc.com/2016/02/24/for-tech-encouraging-statement-from-demetris-robertson/
This is from the same interview on the UGA site I believe (could be wrong) but this part was left off. I just don't see why he would lie and say he doesn't want GT when he makes comments in an interview like this.
No, haven't seen that one before, I don't know why kids tell different reporters from different sites different stories, but lots of them do. I don't think he really wants to go to ND or Tech, both of those have rankings high enough to meet just about anyone's academic needs would you not agree to that? Both are top 20 schools out of who knows how many. He is planning on taking the SAT again March 5, still needing about 50 points. There really isn't enough difference in ND or Tech's rankings to mention as for as academics are concerned. ND does offer far more as for NFL developement than GT because of their offense. I hope he signs with us, but one thing I hope is after all this talk about academics, I hope he stays his 4 years and graduates and not leave for the NFL after 3 years regardless of where he goes. If he does that, then all this talk about academics has been nothing but BS.
Honestly I have no clue what he's wanting lol, for some reason he just canceled on UGA again and now is visiting Alabama. Imo he's probably already decided where he's going if Stanford doesn't work out, and even if he makes the score im not so sure he goes there. I think he's just trying to get the score so he can atleast take a look and make sure he's not missing anything, but it's possible he gets there and chooses a different school imo.
He didn't cancel, coaches thought he was coming until it was reported he was at Bama. If he wasn't coming that's cool, but it is pretty disrespectful to tell the staff Thursday night he is coming and they the academic people lined up to answer the family's questions. And they are waiting on him to arrive and he is on the way to Bama. Bama is where Drob has wanted all alone, if he signs there it makes all this talk about academics being first complete BS, its the worst academically of the schools he looked at by a good bit. And in 2 years we will likely get to do this again, or someone will. If he isn't the center of Bama's offense and he won't be with Ridley and Howard returning, he will transfer to a JUCO and get recruited againt out of JUCO. My prediction then will the AU.
I would have liked to have signed him, but he has been about as disrespectful to our staff, and others too, as he can possibly be. Kid could have called at some point and said he changed his mind, but didn't, one of the Bama coaches called Kirby and told him he was there.
His brother, Carlos, just announced he signed a Financial Aid Agreement with Cal, and is looking at signing one with GA Tech, too.
I've read ALL the articles, from all the paid sites, and what I'm hearing now is that Alabama and UGA are trying to play games by saying they may be offer a package deal with a track scholarship for his sister if he signs with them whereas Stanford, Notre Dame, and GA Tech won't. It has nothing to do with distance from home, majors, position he'll play, etc., but trying to bundle the siblings. His sister graduated from High School early and was Validictorian of her Class, but it was a small, private school and she didn't take the prerequisite classes needed for the three schools that won't take her and that's why Satan, and his crony at UGA, Smartass, are trying to pull this stunt.
However, with him just signing financial paperwork with Cal this past weekend, and looking at signing with GA Tech this week, and NOT with Bama, UGA, Notre Dame, or Stanford, I think it's safe to say nobody knows what the heck is going on.
Maybe I can help with this as I attended GA Tech (and Lettered three years with the Football Team while there), and then went on to Law School.
First, every GA Tech degree requires two semesters of calculus, two laboratory science courses, computer science, which means there is no Major that a student athlete at Tech can take which will avoid these advanced math and science requirements like at other major programs. Also, of the leading technology research institutes in this country – MIT, Cal Tech, Carnegie-Mellon and Georgia Tech is the only one of those four that competes in Division I athletics, and has done so successfully (multiple Division, Conference, AND National Championships in Football).
Like me, many GA Tech Grads go on to Law School, Med School, or get Executive MBA's. Anyone who thinks everyone who graduate from GA Tech are Engineers is sadly mistaken/misinformed. GA Tech Grads run some of the largest Corporations across the Country (like Walmart), and are spread across every Industry imaginable.
As an aside, most of the Major College Football Awards are named after Former GA Tech Football Coaches.
The Heisman Trophy, which is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football in the United States whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity, is named after former GA Tech Head Football Coach John Heisman.
The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award is awarded annually to the BCS's Top Head Football Coach, and is named after former GA Tech Head Football Coach Bobby Dodd.
The Broyles Award is named annually to the BCS's Top Assistant Football Coach, and is named after Frank Broyles, former GA Tech Assistant Coach under Head Coach Bobby Dodd, before become Head Football Coach and AD at Arkansas.
just a thought, but this kid better pan out and he better be saying he is a 4 year player.
He is 5' 10.5 and 175 at present. He needs to get more mature and stronger. In D1 everyone is pretty fast and pretty big; it ain't H.S.
To be parlaying his scholarsip into extorting one for Sis will turn away/off the better schools. Plus, having to deal with a group so involved as we have seen, seems to never bode well predicting success!
No sour grapes here but if it came down to DRob or Claypool, I pick Claypool every time!
Same for JMcK. Both will be on the field for more plays and be more useful. It will not surprise if if we find out that ND, by ND's decision, is no longer a participant in this drama.
Football is a team game; not a 'me' game.

Like I said you know more about Tech's curriculum than me, Tech is noted instate and the south for their engineering program, but not so much their business, medical or law degrees.
Carlos is parading him around like one of those dogs at the Westminister Dog show.
http://notredame.247sports.com/Bolt...tson-signs-FAA-with-Cal-Georgia-Tech-44148677
"Five-star WR Demetris Robertson signs FAA with Cal, Georgia Tech"
Five-star wide receiver Demetris Robertson (Savannah, Ga./Savannah Christian) has secured himself a spot to play college football this fall. But the nation's No. 1 wide receiver has not signed a National Letter of Intent.
Instead, per his brother Michael, Robertson has signed financial aid agreements with California and Georgia Tech so far, allowing him to enroll at either program this fall. Robertson took an official visit to Cal in October, and one to Georgia Tech in late January. Alabama and Notre Dame have also had Robertson on campus for official visits, and Georgia is slated to get him in town for his fifth and final official visit March 18.
Robertson is hoping to gain admission to Stanford and is awaiting his latest test results, which are slated to come back in May. The deadline to sign an NLI is April 1, but as of now, Robertson is not expected to do so.
Yea, I'd rather pass on him at this point. Great talent but I don't think he'll fit at ND
^ they risk minor NCAA violations. Clearly, r by signing w/both institutions that is not a concern of DR.
some think ND may have Apr.1 as fugetaboutit
under the what goes round comes round theory, this kid has a lot coming round!

It was scheduled for Sat. March 5, he didn't take it. I don't know when the next time he can take it, but he has no incoming score on the way. Cal was kind of out of nowhere, but a good school. Maybe he wants to get away from Carlos and make some of his own decisions for a change.
Wonderfulwino: Chose to leave out two of the world's top engeneering and tecnological institutes when listing Georgia Tech in the top four. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/engineering. http://www.topuniversities.com/univ...10-universities-engineering-technology-201516. Robertson has stated that he would like to see the Stanford campus before making a decision. How is it possible that he took an offical visit to Cal. last Oct., and not take the 45 min. drive to Stanford? I don't think I need to point out that both Cal and Stanford play Div. 1 sports.

RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES, based on $$$$$.
Your list includes Cal and Stanford, both of which, obviously, play College Playoff Football, like GA Tech, but aren't considered in the same category of RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES of GA Tech (whereas many football factories have hundreds of millions in revenues keeping them going, GA Tech has billions in grants for research but much less support for the athletics).
For what it's worth, GA Tech HAS NOT received any paperwork from him, contrary to what's being reported at this time, however, they have had discussions with Carlos and Demetris about this and expect it to happen soon.
I think the brother is overestimating his value a bit, he is a sub 6 ft WR with decent speed, around 10.7 100m who has never led his team to any kind of championship. Carlos is enjoying this process way more than he needs to be. Drob is going to have very little choice in where he eventually ends up, my question is if he isn't mature enough to decide whats best for him in a college, how is he expected to be successful academically at a place like Stanford, ND, GT or Cal? Obviously Carlos doesn't trust him with a decision, Tech will be a wasted athletic career playing RB and will cost him more than he will ever make with a college degree from anywhere. He won't get an opportunity to play in the NFL as a RB.
I know all of you think everyone in the SEC cheats, but the general feeling in the SEC is only a couple are actually buying players, so if Carlos had his hand out, Auburn and Ole Miss would definitely be in the picture.
These GT fans are a little like the fsu fans with some tact. Stanford and Cal aren't in the same category as research universities? Is the poster familiar with Silicon Valley at all? Do the poster know why Silicon Valley is located where it is? It's because of Stanford and Cal.
BTW, I'm not aware of a Silicon Valley in Georgia. Anywhere in Georgia. But Tesla, Google, and Apple, Genentech, and NASA, and JPL, they are in Silicon Valley.
Not to mention Hooli.
Go Irish!
Top 50 research Univ.http://www.bestcollegereviews.org/top-research-universities/ Top research and development.http://www.bestcolleges.com/features/colleges-with-highest-research-and-development-expenditures/ Univ. that receive the most gov. money.http://247wallst.com/special-report/2013/04/25/universities-getting-the-most-government-money/3/ What is the source for your statement that GT receives and spends billions on rsearch? Is Robertson interested in education? He is applying to 3 schools with the best engineering programs in America. However, what makes Stanford unique is its interdisciplinary major in Values, Tecnology, and Society, a program popular with football players.

I think the drama will continue long after any commitment and enrollment.
Please!!! Can we stop talking about this kid? He is not coming and I could care less if he did. I am more concerned about the kids that want to be here and the defense. We have tons of talent in the skill position...we don't need him.
As a ND fan I moved on from this kid long ago. Not even worth keeping up with.
while ND's participation may be a 'was' thing, this recruitment is interesting if only because of it's bizarre developments.
One thing about the 2016 recruiting session of note was that a huge part of the ND projections came from CB's by the mods of TOS. After the fact those CB's came up 'O-fer', and while those CB's generated interest in the 2016 recruiting, they also devalued the notion that there is any real value added in being a premium subscriber. Misinformation should be free of charge.
