re: Class of 2016 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Waiting On Demetris Robertson Edition

"The Georgia Tech visit went well," Robertson's older brother and guardian Carlos Robertson said. "Academics are a priority along with football and Georgia Tech fits the bill."

The plan was for Robertson and his family to leave Georgia Tech and head to Alabama for an official visit, but for the third time in a month the plans for an official to Tuscaloosa fell through.

"We were considering visiting Alabama after Georgia Tech but logistics and timing of things didn't work in our favor," Carlos Robertson said.

Had the Robertson's elected to visit Alabama on Sunday, they would have only been able to stay on campus for a few hours before making a lengthy trip home to Savannah.
Demetris told Rivals.com on Thursday that he planned to visit Alabama and Georgia prior to making his college decision. Both the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide figure to jockey for a visit this upcoming weekend, with Robertson's anticipated decision coming sometime during the week of Feb. 7.

"It's down to just 'Bama and Arkansas, but like I told my head coach, I'll probably make my decision tomorrow," he said. "It's crazy right now, a little weird, but good right now.

"It was to see the coaching staff, see the facilities, meet with the players and all that stuff since it was a late offer a month ago," Harris said. "The best part was talking to coach (Nick) Saban, showing me how they operate things. No other school compares to them with facility and structure, coach Saban was showing us some different ways he runs things which is why they're in the natty (national championship) every other year.

"When we sat down yesterday in the meeting, he was telling me I'm the kind of guy he recruits. An old-school, pro-style guy on both sides of the ball."

Harris admits the door isn't completely shut on the Crimson Tide. He and his family will continue to discuss things for the rest of the weekend.

"It's about the school where I feel the most comfortable and have the best vibe with the coaches," he said. "Right now, to tell you the truth, I'm leaning towards Arkansas. I was talking to coach Saban about coming in so late so yeah, I'm thinking Arkansas.

"You have to have somebody you can trust when you go places and I felt very comfortable out there on my visit. And I know a lot of guys out there, so that's important, too."

Sometime Monday, Harris plans on confirming a final decision. He'll likely share it on social media ahead of signing to his school of choice Wednesday.
