Pretty easy to say when your polishing off your fifth #1 recruiting class in a row.

The way I look at it, if you want to commit/play somewhere else then God bless and hope everything works out. We just lost two huge commits in the last week or so. I simply say move on to the next one and the guys who want to be at your school and fight for a chance to play will be the guys you get. And that should be the guys you want. Yeah... it still stings a little when it happens, but give me the guy who wants to be there and compete over the guy who "thinks" he should be there and it be given to him. Not saying DRob is that way but hopefully you get my point.

One 5 star leaves, another comes right in. Easy life as a Tide fan.

Georgia Rivals interview after DR's track meet:

*Mom loves GT, it's close to home, etc. etc.
*Fell in love with Cal, feels like home.
*Sister and mom will be on his official visit to Georgia.
*Will narrow his list of teams after his final official visit (next weekend).
*Commitment may come in a couple weeks but not planning on signing a LOI until showing up in the summer.

No mention of Stanford, Notre Dame, or Alabama.

Why is he a diva? He is waiting to get into Stanford. It's not like he is coming out and saying this school leads and then the next week this school leads. Sure the cancelled visit thing was a little out of hand but I think he has a hard time saying no. Could he have done things differently? For sure, but to call him a diva because he wants to get into Stanford isn't fair. Every single mod has reported the kid isn't like that and has been very kind to everyone throughout the process. I am not going to change how you think about him and I am over this recruitment as well but we can't fault a kid who wants to go to Stanford and is waiting to hear back.

That goes to everyone calling him a drama queen, I think he's getting a bad rap because it's a different report every week from mods and not Drob and I don't think in anyway he is doing this for attention. It's not like the #1 WR in the country needs attention. Heck man I would even name a kid who just signed with ND wayyyyyyy more of a drama queen then Drob.

I don't think 'diva' and 'drama queen' are real accurate terms for him. I don't necessarily blame him but he could make things a little better by stop dealing with the media. For someone not seeking attention he's been doing 2 to 3 interview per week since the start of the year.

I think it's important to separate the notions of him being a "great kid who is interested in academics" with everything else that has gone in with his recruitment.

This is one of the strangest, most mishandled, confused, and unsure recruitment I've ever seen from a recruit. To summarize everything that's gone on as him only waiting to get into Stanford seems really naive.

He's come THIS far with all the Stanford business and is about to use his last official visit to Georgia next weekend. Just a huge web of confusion.

He's a diva.

You're a multiple pay site recruiting expert.

I'm a guy that calls a spade a spade.

He will not be at Stanford. You heard it here first.

Alright man he's a diva that's your opinion I'm not going to change it but he wants to go to Stanford and is waiting to hear back. If I'm the " recruiting expert" then maybe you should listen to me

Except not really. Reporters have said he won't be going to Stanford for ages.

Something just doesnt feels right with this kid. Why is he taking so long? I dont know, but I think we might see him in a JUCO next year.

Word on the street is he applied for a fifth year in high school. Trying to get the number one recruit spot for next year.

if he really wanted to get into Stanford could he go to a military academy and then still keep his 4 years of college eligibility?
