Also per Adams he will be in Athens next Saturday night

He won't be coming to ND but I can only tip my cap to the staff for the effort and time they but in this recruitment which IMO we had no business being in. I think what hurt us was having his OV so early in the process and I have never been a fan of this at all but the staff continues to do it. I feel like which major targets we seem to finish in second more then winning these battles but IMO we are so loaded at WR and it would have been awesome to land a top 5 talent we will be just fine at that position. Kudos to the staff but damn it's getting annoying to keep finishing in second. Not landing Kelly and Roberston hurts but finishing second for Caleb Kelly after having this recruitment wrapped up hurts more than anything

I hear you. But In Kelly's head he was Notre Dame. But his heart always wanted Oklahoma. Would rather have him go there than transfer from ND after a year.

I hope for his sake whoever he chooses on May 2nd he is happy and 100% committed.

I would be more shocked if he chose ND, rather than if he didn't...I've simply forgotten about his recruitment.

I can't fault the ND staff for going after the kid and recruiting him the way they did; hats off to the staff.

After watching the WR's at the B&G game, I was impressed with every one of them. They all bring something different to the table and I think the group can be a silent but deadly position this year. I am also excited to see how McKinley & Claypool will be in the mix.

Good luck D-Rob with your decision.

-Going to be a lot of Demetris Robertson talk all week. I have not shied away from this to much in saying I am not sure what is going on. This young man could walk into this decision and pick anyone of the schools he visited and it not surprise me. The fact that I keep hearing Cal pop up late makes me think they could be in this way more than people think. You can bet UGA staff will be in Savannah this week to give one more pitch to the 5-Star.

More often than not, it seems like the ND staff recruits the biggest of big fish like Joe Schmidt on a blitz: just a step too slow to seal the deal.

So that means he finally got an SAT score to pass the NCAA Clearinghouse, good for him. Hope he is happy at Georgia.

Not if he was waiting on his latest SAT results because those scores haven't come back yet.

Just couldn't wait a couple more weeks to find out, which is hilarious given their timeline to date. Anyway, given the restructured format his last score was probably worse than his previous tests.

Hey, the CFB Hall of Fame used to be in South Bend, maybe he was a bigger fan of that location.

2016 signees share their thoughts on Demetris Robertson

The 5-11, 175-pounder from the class of 2016 will announce his commitment on Monday, May 2, and decide between four finalists: Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.

At this point, it’s anyone’s guess where the former U.S. Army All-American will end up. If you look at the 247Sports Crystal Ball, Georgia is the favorite. Behind the Bulldogs, there are predictions for Notre Dame, Alabama and Stanford.

Coaches, fans and media aren’t the only ones locked in on Robertson’s upcoming decision. There are players from Robertson’s 2016 class that have paid close attention to this recruitment as well.

So, where do the 2016 signees believe he will end up?

247Sports reached out to a few prospects from this past cycle to get their thoughts on where Robertson will land.

Traveon Beck
Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco
Cornerback
Signed: Cal

“Cal. I really think we have a shot at him,” said Beck. ”He seems really interested in the school. If not, then Georgia, for sure. It’s his home area and they recruit him really hard. It feels like a dead heat. We’ll see next week."

Nygel Edmonds
Chattanooga (Tenn.) McCallie School
Cornerback
Signed: Cal

“You already know I have to pick Cal,” said Edmonds of Robertson’s final destination. “I have a slight idea of what his priorities are in life. Considering that Cal is a strong school academically and the athletics are strong as well, I feel it’ll fit him well.”

Elijah Holyfield
Atlanta (Ga.) Woodward Academy
Running Back
Signed: Georgia

“I think he will come to Georgia, because he has good opportunity to play early and it's his home state,” said Holyfield. “There’s nothing better than bringing a championship back to your home town.”

Julian Love
La Grange Park (Ill.) Nazareth Academy
Cornerback
Signed: Notre Dame

"I think he wants to be closer to his family, that's why I think he’ll pick Georgia,” said Love regarding Robertson’s commitment. “But, if he's looking for a tradition and bond, then he’ll choose Notre Dame.”

Tommy Kraemer
Cincinnati (Ohio) Alter
Offensive Tackle
Signed: Notre Dame

“I think it's got to be Notre Dame,” said Kraemer. “This late in the game, there's no other place to go.”

Marquez Callaway
Warner Robins (Ga.) high school
Cornerback/Wide Receiver
Signed: Tennessee

“I say Notre Dame,” said Callaway. “You can’t beat what they offer. Not knocking the other schools, but life after football is a lot easier there. I don’t know if that’s his reasoning, but I just feel like that’s the place.”

Jawon Pass
Columbus (Ga.) Carver
Quarterback
Signed: Louisville

“I think he’s going to Georgia,” said Pass. “It’s a good fit and close to home.”

Jordan Fuller
Westwood (N.J.) Old Tappan
Defensive Back
Signed: Ohio State

“I got Georgia,” said Fuller. “I always felt like it was between Stanford and Georgia. I think he would travel for that education, but stay home if he felt Stanford wasn't the right place for him.”

Caleb Kelly
Linebacker
Fresno (Calif.) Clovis West
Signed: Oklahoma

“Georgia,” said Kelly regarding Robertson. “I don’t know why exactly, but that’s what I’ll say.”

***Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Robertson is the No. 14 overall player in the country, No. 1 wide receiver in the nation and No. 3 prospect in Georgia from the class of 2016.
