'16 GA ATH Demetris Robertson (Georgia Transfer)

[IrishLax]

I'm going with the theory that he's already committed to ND and everything else is misinformation intended to build drama for his announcement.

I still believe that the timing of BK's in home visit was significant. I think it's significant that all the buzz is about ND, but Demetris has time to post a photo touting the Cal coaches visiting, but nothing about ND visiting. I think it's significant that he suddenly schedules a GT visit. It just comes across as trying to downplay ND and trying to "pump up" all these other serious threats.

By the way I also believe that there are aliens living among us. So take all of this with a grain of salt.

This is the best conspiracy theory ever, and I hope you're right. Almost seems plausible.

here's how I see it:

no bama visit, no SAT=ND leads/he's already a silent
one day bama visit/takes SAT=ND Stanford and Bama all in it, get ready for high drama, and he waits for results past nsd.
2 day Bama visit=between Bama and ND and Bama may get him in the end.

either way we are still in it in all scenarios, albeit some better than others.

"which is nice..."

 

[irish4ever]

He gone.

 

[Prof K]

He gone.

He's Irish (just as likely, but more optimistic.

I showed DRob two things last week when I met with him at the Internet Cafe. The first was the highlight films of Cooper and Ridley. The second was the bill for our two cafe latte's. I politely paid the bill of $125,011.32 and told DRob to keep the change.

It's really petty to quarrel about a kind adult buying a high school kid a lousy cup of coffee.

per rivals---Stanford isn't really pursing Robertson hard right now and they had their big recruiting weekend last week which obviously he didn't go to.....

they continue to hear positive things and even as late as last night, nothing but good things regarding ND

also on podcast by rivalswoody---they like where Notre Dame is trending and talked about how ND is really doing a good job playing up the academics angle and how he's a kid that values that

hard not to get excited about that news.

sounds like it really boils down to how this weekend goes in regards to the bama visit. if the kid "values" the academic angle I really don't see how this can go wrong for us, but being a fan of Notre Dame I know that it is possible that it may.

LOL. I figured that would happen. My guess he's not really taking the SAT either and not visiting Georgia Tech later in the month

So he's still 'planning' to visit Bama before NSD? If so this is the worst of both worlds IMO.

Could he be taking the SATs to qualify for admission at ND, or has he already been admitted?

 

[ab2cmiller]

How many times has he "rescheduled"? Too many to count. He's not visiting Bama. I bet all my puny vbucks.

Perhaps we'll finally find ourselves on the right side of "keeps pushing visits back, when in reality he's not taking one at all."

I feel like there is a top-10 recruit every year that has visits planned for ND, but has to keep postponing them until it's clear that it's not happening at all.

loy stated he is a go from ND admissions from what he was told

Mentioned above that he is already a green light for ND admissions.

^^damnit Panda

...one of these days.

 

[Rizzophil]

Hard not to get excited about the Irish chances at this point

 

[DillonHall]

I don't understand why he's taking the SAT. Does he love Stanford that much?

 

[PANDFAN]

per loy---his sources indicated that he could skip the visit and take the sat...they were correct...this same source also indicates that he is leaning heavily toward Notre Dame.

this same source says that Stanford is a legit threat; HOWEVER they don't feel he will gain admission at any point.

family is COMPLETELY on board for ND

his mom is expected to inform him next week that she prefers he continue his time as a student-athlete at the University of Notre Dame

ALSO ---wouldn't be surprised if he cancels his georgia tech visit either

 

[TheChosen1]

We want him smart enough to get into ND but not to get into Stanford and also smart enough to choose ND and not bama.

 

[beryirish]

I feel IrishEnvy ages me faster than my kids.

 

[Henges24]

his mom is expected to inform him next week that she prefers he continue his time as a student-athlete at the University of Notre Dame

Huh? This sounds a little ridiculous. She is telling a reporter that she will tell her son sometime NEXT WEEK that she prefers ND?

i can tell you this, they don't live together....even though drobb and his sister are twins, they don't live in the same house....so there are like 2 sets of drobb's camp---obviously the source indicating this is one on his mother's side of the camp or circle

Stanford is out. Period.

also his older bro is his legal guardian, not his mom

Right. I knew all of that it just seems odd. Oh well, the news seems to be getting better...until he gets accepted to Stanford and this board has another signing day melt down.

Wiltfong CB'ed

 

[yankeeND]
