'08 NE OL Trevor Robinson (Signed LOI to ND)

[mlcspinner]

First let me say I am a Husker fan, so I found the need to clear up a few things I have seen posted about what is going on at Nebraska.

Trevor is taking visits to please his father, not because of anything else. His father is the vice-chancellor at Nebraska-Omaha, so needless to say, he is very high on academics. 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.

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.

Leslie -- I can tell you first hand he was ready to commit on Monday to Nebraska. He backed off because Coach Callahan asked him to make an unofficial or official to Nebraska first. The reason he did it is because if Leslie begins to have a big senior season and other schools come calling, he doesn't want Leslie wonder 'what if' and begin to look around. He wants him to be 100% sure of his decision before he makes it.

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.

He recently called the Texas coaches and told them not to even bother calling anymore, it was basically pointless since he wasn't changing his mind.

Just thought I should clear some of this stuff up that is floating around.

dude, alot of words but not to much content better luck with another recuit

Nebraska fans are crazy. They're whole fanbase might commit suicide if someone from Nebraska doesn't want to go there. Newsflash: You're not that great and Notre Dame is the more prestigious school.

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 who the hell are you? Why on Earth should we believe you? What insight do you have on the Nebraska program? You can't just go on a message board and say you're "Clearing stuff up" and expect anyone to believe you.

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?

LOL, thank you for trying to make yourself feel better by convincing yourself that Trevors dad is the reason this is all happening. 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.

 

[mlcspinner]

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

 

[goldenlid]

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.

 

[mlcspinner]

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

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.

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.

 

[Stumper67]

If the kid 100% wanted to go to Nebraska right now, he wouldn't be visiting other schools.

He may very well stay at NU... But to question whether or not he's having doubts at this juncture, when he's currently chilling out on the ND campus probably with guys like Sam Young and John Sullivan, is crazy.

Obviously he's having doubts about Nebraska or else he wouldn't take any visits.

I understand why you're grasping at straws here... Many ND fans, including myself, did the same to explain why Justin Trattou took a visit to Florida last year while committed to ND. The truth was obvious all along, but who wants to lose a big time recruit? Who wants to admit something is going wrong? Nobody.

But the bottom line is this: If a kid absolutely 100% wants to go to the school he's committed to, he won't take visits to other schools.

 

[irishunclebill]

The optimism on Trevor Robinson committing to the Irish just might be an overreach. The SI article says that his unofficial visits to ND and scUM are just to confirm that his commitment to Nebraska is the right decision. It concludes by saying that he has stated that he still considers himself to be committed to Nebraska. IMO, CW and gang will have to wow him to have him change his mind.

and I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Comparing fans of Tennessee to fans of Nebraska is the same thing as comparing fans of the Red Sox to fans of the Devil Rays. Living in Tennessee in the past, fans go to the games, but they type of extremes they go to in supporting their program and being raised on one thing is completely different.

You have to remember, Tennessee and Nebraska are two totally different things. In Nebraska, you are raised on Husker football. Their isn't another big time school around, their are no major sports team -- so you only know one thing -- Nebraska football.

And yes Trevor did say he wasn't a Husker fan prior to his commitment, but after he committed, he let it be known how much of a lifelong Husker fan he had been. It's the same as a recruit saying "I have no favorite, I'm open right now" when in the back of his head, you know he is favoring one school over another. Playing to the audience, basically.

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.

I'm not doubting that right now. Based on what I know, it is 50-50 at best right now for Nebraska.

I'm actually fine with the idea of losing Trevor. Now if you all were to come after Baker Steinkuhler and take him, I would likely get banned for what I would have to say about ND.

But that was not what my post was intended to be about -- just clearing up misconceptions you all are throwing out there.

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.

Umm ... what?

Dad wants him to get a quality education and has been on him to go to Notre Dame even before he committed to Nebraska. I'm not to proud to say a diploma with ND as the seal is worth more than one from Nebraska. Trevor's dad realizes this and has never let up on him about going to Notre Dame.

His father also sees Michigan in the same light, but a step below Notre Dame. He's willing to settle for Michigan if Trevor sees that as a better option than Notre Dame as well.

Trevor is finally paying attention to his father and listening to him it seems.

Just thought I should clear some of this stuff up that is floating around.

This post besides being the most BS I have ever seen is tantamount to the Japanese surrendering in Tokyo harbor. Willie2604, all you are missing is the white flag.

Props for not being hysterical about losing Robinson like scUM fans are when they lose somebody to ND, but this is nothing more than the party line that you Husker boys have been cooking up for when Trev makes it official. If any ND fan was wondering whether Robinson would de-commit, you coming over here to post the party line already should make the Irish faithful feel better.

Clear some of the stuff up is almost hysterical. Let's clear some stuff up for you Husker fans once and for all, Trev's dad has nothing to do with him de-committing Nebraska, you guys already know that, so it's time to accept it and move on. CYA.

 

[mlcspinner]

Question How can you say you are not a fan one minute and the next be a LIFE LONG fan. The righting is on the wall he doesn't want to go to Neb.

 

[irishunclebill]

I thought you were busy buying up lakefront land in central Michigan?

LOL- I'm waiting to hear more about Baldwin before I get serious on that project.

 

[notredomer23]

I love how husker fans think UT lives in the past

 

[big daddy]

What are the chances that Trevor Robinson stays in Nebraska? I have a feeling he might just stay in Nebraska.. I hope I'm wrong.

Rely on your hopes, not your feelings.

 

[mlcspinner]

There is alway a chance but unlikely, a recruit doesn't commit to a school then says, well I think I need to look around some more just to make sure. I doesn't look good for neb IMHO

 

[Stumper67]

There is obviously a chance he will stay committed to Nebraska...

But the fact that he took visits not only to ND but also Michigan - which was always third behind ND and NU - tells me that he is pretty much done with Nebraska...

Care to refute anything I posted about the countless rumors about 'something going on at Nebraska'? I mean, you all cook up rumors about Givens, Leslie and T-Rob, then throw them into one as if something is going down at our university. When I present the facts, you get your panties in a wad and go from there. And why? Because you can't refute any single one of those facts, except with senseless jabs.

But let me start a rumor mongering thread about ND on a Nebraska board just to see how long it takes before an ND poster invades. The only difference would be, they wouldn't try to be sensible about having a discussion like I tried to do with the 'posters' of this forum.

 

[rockne19]

if we land robinson are we done at ol? unless of course we can also get patchan (by a miracle).

Well you can't back up anything you've said either. So let's not pretend you've produced a dissertation backing up your claims whereas we're all just sitting here with our thumbs up our asses.

 

[notredomer23]

every1...negative rep willie

 

[mlcspinner]

he's not worth the effort

 

[rockne19]

alot of nebraska fans go the rivals main board and talk alot of smack. i know nd has done almost nothing since 1993 (that will change real soon) but neb. hasn't exactly lit the college footall world on fire the last 10 years. unless you count the beat down miami gave them in the 2001 nc game.

 

[mlcspinner]

Wasn't that the game that neb should not have even been in

 

[goldenlid]

You said you were here to clear things up and unless you are the person the statements are about you do not know. Nothing is truth and it's all theory on sites like this. BTW who cares if fans from another school start a rumor on their team site, it belongs to them.

 

[OCIrish]

I wouldn't be surprised if he stays at NU. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes to ND. I would be surprised as hell if he became a skunkbear. Anyway, if he stays, fine, if he goes, great, but until the weekend is over, no sense in worrying to much about it.




Go Irish!!!
