Not to be disrespectful to the rest of the Notre Dame fan base -- but we both fall into the same category. Very storied in past success, but still striving to get back to the top.

Also, why was this post even needed considering what I posted?

And what insight do you have to make assumptions about how/why Robinson is thinking about changing his commitment?

My post was intended to clear up stuff that you all are trying to pass off as fact, when it isn't even close.

People in Nebraska have actually talked to the family and friends of Trevor. Where do you think this stuff is coming from?

TR chose Nebraska because they were close to home, that was the only reason. And now it's not big enough of reason and he's having doubts. He won't come out and say he's thinking of de-committing because you crazy people are blowing up his phone and keep the insane pressure on him to stay in state. He's come to ND what 3 or 4 times? He really needs another visit to make sure he's all Cornhusker? I don't think so. You're all under the impression because he said "I don't know when the visits are scheduled my dad might've already done that." Yeah his dad helped schedule his visits so now it's his dad pressuring him to go somewhere else? It was always between ND and NU with Michigan just being a fallback option. If he de-commits he de-commits, don't come here spewing your "theory". I read the Nebraska baords and thats exactly what it is "Your theory" so theres no inside info or anything you're all just hoping it's because TR doesn't want to ND and accually make you feel embarrassed for losing him. It happens to every team so you need to suck it up and accept his decision.

See, more baseless assumptions. The bad thing about free boards on Nebraska sites is the half-truth only gets discussed. People make assumptions and try to go from there. If you headed over to the premium board in the past week you would've seen posters and insiders who talked with Trevor, Trevor's family and some who talked with Trevor's friends about the situation. The entire conclusion was the same -- dad is calling the shots.

Listen, how my post is getting twisted into something that will turn into a p****ing match, I have no clue. I responded only to 'rumors' you all are posting, and passing off as truths. Not only that, but I did it by not even referencing ND, but only in the light that they are a more prestigious academic school -- because they are.

Man, some touchy folks around these parts.

.

are you serious? ND and Nebraska in the same catagory? Nebraska has had good teams in the past maybe 10-15. Notre Dame has had 25-40 good teams.

I think you need a hug, but I'm not going to give you one, sorry Neb fan

[mlcspinner]

Also NEVER say neb and NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL in the same breath

If dad is calling the shots how can you say nothing is wrong when his dad let him verbal to nebraska and now want him to look at other schools to make sure. You might be right about him not decommitting but something is going on.

How can you bee 100% anything but still want to look around ?

It is why Trevor's father has been in favor of Notre Dame from the beginning. His father has not let up about taking more visits in hopes Trevor would change his mind to go to what he thinks is a more 'prestigious' academic school.

If the decision was left up to Trevor, he would be a Husker. Kids from Elkhorn, NE are usually diehard Nebraska fans. As Larry the Cable Guy said, "if you're from Nebraska and not a Cornhusker fan, you must be a communist."

So basically, the recruitment will be decided upon whether dad wins or Trevor wins. Sad thing is, it is looking like dad may be winning.

Did this little rant remind anyone one else of the delusional Tennessee fans from last year that were in a denial about Harrison Smith?

Trevor is not one of those die hard Husker fans though, and I've heard him say as much during a radio interview.

About some WR reconsidering his commitment -- I have no clue what you are talking about. We only have JUCO Adrian Hilburn committed, and their has not even been one rumor suggesting he is backing out on his commit.

Lastly, in reading some threads, I have seen mention of Bryce Givens being unsure of his decision. Completely false. Bryce is 100% Husker. Yes, his dream school was Texas, but once Texas spurned him, that was it. Bryce wasn't ready to be 'Plan B' for them once a few lineman transferred.

Another reason to know Bryce is 100% -- his best friend and teammate Jimmy Miller is a HUGE Husker fan. I bring this up because Jimmy's mother is originally from Nebraska and posts regularly on a Nebraska message board. Bryce came to Jimmy's house just to use her account to make a post about his recruitment. He clearly stated he had ZERO interest in other schools and only showed interest to raise his stock to get into the Army All-American game. Lets face it, getting into that game is more about hype and offers list, so you can't blame Bryce for it.

Sorry, I was thinking of Givens. For some reason I had a picture of a WR from TX in my mind when I wrote that.


All in all you better start accepting the reality now that you're most likely going to lose Trevor to ND, so when it actually happens it'll come as less of a shock to you. Have a nice day.
