'16 GA ATH Demetris Robertson (Georgia Transfer)

[Classic Irish]

That Georgia guy is totally clueless.

Thanks, that what I figured. He also suggests that Stanford is his brother's idea as well, and that Demetris is keen on the SEC. Seems far-fetched. I hope that guy ends up eating crow, since he seems so confident.

If you look at the OV he's taken and what everyone has said around him I would say he is doing his best to get the hell out of Georgia

First, I for one am fucking tired of the personal attacks prior post to about 25 posts ago. It is clearly more than one person doing it. Okay, we got it. And we know in detail (ad nauseum) why you don't like them. For me, when there is someone I don't like, I don't include them. I just ignore them long enough that I forget about them. Sometimes literally. The only time that doesn't work is when someone brings something up over and over.

Now about DRob. One possibility is that he is so competitive, which looks to be true from his tape, that regardless of where he goes, he wants to prove to himself he can get in to Stanford. In a way that is sort of the high mark of academic elitism in college football, at least of the Power 5 schools. And that looks like academic attainment to some.

Why do I say something so foolish? Many who work human behavior, apply logic. So, for instance when you have three conditions, you look for any to that conflict.

I want to stay close to home, or I am being pressured to stay close to home.

I want to go all the way across the country to Stanford.

I want to go to Notre Dame.

Do any two conflict? Really, yes. What happens when you throw out the conflicts?

Now the exception to this when working with people, is if the subject,* is bat-shit crazy. See footnote below.

* (If the process itself or anyone around him in a responsible position, or role of authority is bat-shit crazy it will have the same effect, even if the kid is solid as a ND Man!)

Again just playing Devil's Advocate, but as of right now, all indications are that this decision is based on whether he can get into Stanford or not.

Under the status quo, things are completely out of our hands. If we gave him an ultimatum, we could force him to choose whether academics really are that important to him (aka go to ND, the sure thing) or whether he doesn't really care about academics that much and he would settle for Georgia.

The "upside" is not waiting around to see what happens with Stanford.

I guess my point is who cares if we wait around?

First off, in the first paragraph you posted above, the first thing you posted I am confused. Second off I want to know first hand what in the hell you are talking about? I am the ringleader for personal attacks on this board(which I will calm down, 98% guarantee) Third off I would just like to say based on my first hand knowledge that this thread seems pretty calm.

Sorry for flipping this around on you but if he is waiting around to see what happens with Stanford, how does waiting around help us at all?

Same with visiting Georgia. How does waiting around help us?

How does it hurt us? It's not like we will be at our 85 man limit. And 'cause we still have a chance. As long as he hasn't signed with anyone else, we have a chance to win him to our side.

This isn't a position I would necessarily take with every recruit. DR seems like a kid that is truly struggling to make up his mind, he doesn't seem like a total flake, and he is super-duper talented.

What good would come out of giving him an ultimatum?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I can't make heads or tails of what Robertson is doing.

So, I'm just going to ignore it all, which means ND has had the most consistent buzz of late.

Maybe this is all just a smoke show? It seems almost too sloppy to even be real.

 

[Irish#1]

For the love of God people stop bringing up Stanford. It isn't just about test scores, it's also about grades. No matter what you hear Stanford is not an option. They haven"t even had meaningful contact with DR since the summer.

Not trying t be a smart arse, but after being asked to expound several times you've yet to provide anything to back up your statements. If it's just your opinion based on what we all know, then fine, but your posts always sound like you have personal knowledge or connections. If the latter is the case, we don't need you to break anyone's confidence, but simply state you know someone close to the situation. Otherwise people are not going pay attention when you make statements like the above.

 

[fightingirish26]

Fair, but it's not like we are pulling any kids out of Georgia as it is so I don't know if I would be concerned about that.

Well, Beal is a potentially elite DE, and he's from GA

 

[Bogtrotter07]

First off, in the first paragraph you posted above, the first thing you posted I am confused. ( . . .)
[/I]There are two conditions, or parts to your first sentence; are they related?

Second off I want to know first hand what in the hell you are talking about?

Count back 25 posts. Prior to that there was a personal -

per·son·al
(pûr′sə-nəl)
adj.
1. Of or relating to a particular person; private:

- attack on a number of individuals. You can look up the list. It was those regularly attacked by those whose shit don't stink.

You know what I am talking about? It started with IrishFan, and ended with Koon, when someone added him.

I am the ringleader for personal attacks on this board(which I will calm down, 98% guarantee)

getting help is good. A good first step . . .

Third off I would just like to say based on my first hand knowledge that this thread seems pretty calm.

It isn't about being calm. Do you remember this part of my post? And do you understand it?

For me, when there is someone I don't like, I don't include them. I just ignore them long enough that I forget about them. Sometimes literally. The only time that doesn't work is when someone brings something up over and over.

I shit you not, it is about things getting old and stale when everyone else was tired of it a year ago. It's like if we still said "shitcray" all the time!

I love you to death man, I really do. But make that change, you will profit from it immediately. And by the way, you were very specific with your post, but other were not. It actually was more about behavior than the person, which is pretty good in my book.
Anything else? PM me.

Oh, and you would not believe the number of people I deal with that never went though a dramatic traumatic situation, instead suffered a series of lesser (but numerous) events that were very regular and consistent, that suffer from PTSD, as well! I am not saying that anything that dramatic is happening here, but the idea that consistent negative statement hurt everyone associated is markedly and almost uniformly true.

Tuitt and Rochell say hello. What we have pulled out of Georgia has pretty much been gold.

Yeah, DWShade seems very confident and for someone like me who has no contacts or inside relationships I really want to believe those who seem to know the real story. Understanding how they "know" these things would be great.

Side note: You know how parents go through all sorts of gyrations to make sure our kids believe in Santa Claus? Well, I aliken that to how hard some of these recruits try to make all the schools with a "hat on the table" believe that they have a shot on NSD. Like "tell everyone what they want to here" just so the element of surprise isn't ruined. Seems like a lot of fuss for a recruit to go thru just to keep that anticipation alive.

Brilliant, reps!

It is indeed human nature to lie. When is it most likely? To improve one's own status. Which is what recrootin' is all about!

I was more or less giving you a hard time lol. But I see exactly where you are coming from and I will brotha

 

[brewdog_14527]

Don't blame the kid for exploring all of his options, and I am not even sure getting accepted at Stanford means he goes there, as he has even said. May just want to give himself every opportunity and he is to be commended for that. With that being said, I have wasted enough time checking in on this thread. Wake me up in a week and we can debate his choice then!!

 

[DillonHall]

Tuitt and Rochelle say hello. What we have pulled out of Georgia has pretty much been gold.

It's spelled Rochell. He's almost a senior, but way too many people on this site don't know how to spell his name.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

That is why I think of you kind of like a son and/or a brother, from another mother. One of your personal strong points is keeping your word. Another is loyalty. It Saul Goodman.

What was your mom's first name again?

 

[RDU Irish]

It's spelled Rochell. He's almost a senior, but way too many people on this site don't know how to spell his name.

Can't wait for you in four years when Adetokunbo Ogundeji is making headlines.

 

[zelezo vlk]

It's spelled Rochell. He's almost a senior, but way too many people on this site don't know how to spell his name.

I love the big guy and even I have trouble remembering how to spell his last name.

Still trying not to get excited about this recruitment until his signature is on the dotted line.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I can't make heads or tails of what Robertson is doing.

So, I'm just going to ignore it all, which means ND has had the most consistent buzz of late.

Maybe this is all just a smoke show? It seems almost too sloppy to even be real.

Whether it was intentional or not, he is set up to cruise to signing day with every fan base off of his back. If anyone complains they feel as if they risk loosing him.

Look at it his actions say he does want to get out of Georgia, but the Dawgs are circulating quotes that UGA is at the top of his list. In addition to stroking Doggie ego, it also insures that any coherent fan will keep his mouth shut up to decision time. After that it's done. Even though he would get static, it would fall off pretty quickly.

And ND fans are in the same boat; logic dictates the Irish are in the driver seat, but who is going to push to force the issue and find out?

You cannot issue an 11th hour ultimatum. If you do, you have lost. It is that simple.

 

[blueNDgold44]

Demetris is just stalling so he can put the finishing touches on DRobOne before he parks it in front of the Gug.

 

[NDdomer2]

So as of right now his only options are Cal, GT, ND based on them being only schools who have provided him an LOI.

I don't recall Cal or GT ever being named in his "leaders".

ND and UGA are only schools that did in home visits, correct?

but he still isn't signing for us tomorrow....

Says about all I need to know.

 

[phork]

phorks lock of the 2016 recruiting class. book it.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Just because he only has 3 sets of loi, couldn't other schools be sending there's tonight or tomorrow am?

 

[IrishLax]

Just because he only has 3 sets of loi, couldn't other schools be sending there's tonight or tomorrow am?

Hypothetically, yes. But typically you get your LOI a couple days before actually signing. So if he doesn't have it by now, I'm not sure what is going on or what the holdup is.

 

[ryno 24]

There is a positive update from Wiltfong on 247 he says even if he gets after tomorrow and even if he gets into stanford we still have a good chance. Though stanford frightens me personally

 

[greyhammer90]

Correct. But I still notice that Stanford is absent regardless.

And we were the only common school between in home visits and LOI's. Yet, not signing.

Do you really think if Georgia didn't have assurances from him that he was waiting past NSD, that they wouldn't have sent him a LOI? I don't really see your point.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

Correct. But I still notice that Stanford is absent regardless.

ISD had an update earlier today that essentially said that if Robertson doesn't get into Stanford, then he goes to ND. I'll stick with their sources.

 

[NDdomer2]

Do you really think if Georgia didn't have assurances from him that he was waiting past NSD, that they wouldn't have sent him a LOI? I don't really see your point.

Which also means they have assurances its not ND right????
