I wonder if he's a take considering we seem to be in good position with Grimes and Smalls.
He better get on board quick if he wants a spot.

I wanted to say thanks for all you have done on this board and for your years of service. Take care of yourself and good luck on the move and with getting your masters. I did that shite "twice" once in Kinesiology and the second time in Instructional Leadership/School Administration.

I'm not looking forward to it.
I will say it should be much easier in today's world. I don't have to do anything in person. It's all online sans a few major tests.

Robinson's no longer committed to Auburn
quote:
Quandarius Robinson has backed off his pledge to the Auburn Tigers.
The four-star linebacker out of Birmingham (Ala.) Jackson-Olin was on the Plains for another visit just a couple of weeks ago, but last weekend, he was at Alabama.
Robinson committed to Auburn in July, so he has been committed for almost six months.
A source said, "He just isn't 100-percent sure and he did not want to go everywhere as an Auburn commit."
The 6-foot-4, 210 pound junior recently picked up an offer from Georgia Tech and he has a long list of schools that are still showing interest.
We have been told that Auburn is still "one of his top choices".
Other schools on his radar outside the ones already mentioned are Clemson, Nebraska and Tennessee.

SEC Spotlight: Top targets as Late Signing Period approaches
quote:
Last week, we featured the biggest questions still to be answered in the late signing period for the SEC. This week we take a look at the top remaining targets for each conference program that could lead to those answers.

quote:
ALABAMA - Ishmael Sopsher
This is a battle between two SEC foes — Alabama and LSU. Sopsher plays defensive tackle, a premium position, and he is a priority for the staff in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide, and Nick Saban personally, have made Sopsher a top target for well over a year. He spent the weekend at Alabama, he had an in-home visit with Saban and some Crimson Tide staff members last week and this will be a fight to the end.

KENTUCKY - Devonta Lee
The fact that the Wildcats are going toe-to-toe with LSU for a top player in the state of Louisiana shows just how far the program has come under head coach Mark Stoops. Lee has been on campus in Lexington several times and with his teammate and close friend Amani Gilmore already signed with Kentucky, many believe that he will make the Bluegrass State his permanent home. Lee is unpredictable though, and his recruitment could go either way over the next week. Should Kentucky reel him in, it would be one of the biggest recruiting victories in recent years.

LSU - Ishmael Sopsher
Not only is defensive line still a need this cycle for LSU, but Sopsher is an elite talent in their home state, so that makes him that much more important to Ed Orgeron and the LSU staff. Alabama had Sopsher on campus this past weekend and LSU gets the last visit just days before Signing Day. LSU is known for defensive and Sopsher is a defensive priority personally for Coach O.

MISSISSIPPI STATE - Byron Young
Young has been committed to Alabama since July 4, but the four-star defensive tackle out of Mississippi did not sign in December. He has been on the road each weekend this month taking visits and Mississippi State had him on campus over the weekend. The Bulldogs are viewed as a threat to the Crimson Tide, but can Joe Moorhead really take him away from Saban? We know Young is close to Mississippi State defensive line coach Brian Baker, so with Baker heading to Tuscaloosa, does this make it impossible for the Bulldogs to flip Young?

OLE MISS - Jerrion Ealy
Yes, there is a risk with Ealy — Major League Baseball — but he is worth the risk. Ealy is viewed as a top pick in the MLB Draft in June, so whoever signs the Rivals100 star running back will have to wait and see if they actually get him on campus this summer. He was at one-time committed to Ole Miss, and although he re-opened his recruitment earlier this month, he is still a top target for the Rebels. Ealy is a playmaker they need in their system under new offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez. Clemson has had some momentum in this race, but Alabama, Mississippi State and Ole Miss are still very much involved.

Brinson backs off pledge to UGA
quote:
Georgia was the first school to offer 2020 defensive Warren Brinson and with him being from Savannah (Ga.), the Bulldogs sat high on his list. After impressing the UGA coaching staff at camp, Brinson was offered over the summer.
From that time, the 6-foot-4, 301 pound junior at Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy had his eye on Georgia before committing to the Bulldogs late in November.
On Tuesday evening, after picking up recent offers from Alabama and Oklahoma, among others, we have confirmed that he has backed off that pledge.
He also has offers from Florida State, Minnesota and Tennessee.
Brinson is now an uncommitted prospect that plans to take visits and reset his recruitment.
Not too long after Rivals broke the news, Brinson released the news via Twitter.

I’ve heard he has a point system. Measurables being one of the check boxes.

LINK ]Robinson on Auburn decommitment, what's next (247Sports | embedded highlights video)
quote:
LINK ]Quandarrius Robinson is one of the top pass-rushers in the South for the class of 2020 and he remained highly coveted despite a longtime pledge to the in-state Auburn Tigers.
With more visits and offers under his belt as of this week, however, the Birmingham (Ala.) Jackson-Olin junior elected to take a step back with his recruiting plan, he confirmed to 247Sports Wednesday morning.
"My de-commitment didn't have anything to do with another college," Robinson aid. "I just think I committed to early. I really hope people can respect that."
The 6-foot-4, 207-pound prospect visited Alabama for a junior day event on Saturday and spent time at Auburn the weekend prior. Georgia Tech offered him a scholarship on Tuesday. Auburn, Clemson, LSU and several others have been by Jackson-Olin to evaluate the group of Mustang prospects led by the productive player, who accounted for 13 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2018.

Robinson told 247Sports Auburn remains under "high" consideration following the move. Of Alabama, he recently told BamaOnLine the recent trip to campus, with his family along his side for this one, stood out.
"It was a great visit overall," he said. "Bama has been making a tremendous push. "As for putting them in a rank I'll say a close second (to Auburn)…but my family would say one.”
During the time in Tuscaloosa he was able to once again meet with Nick Saban, who was among the coaches to stop through his high school earlier this month. His method of transportation for that visit to Jackson-Olin, by helicopter, created some buzz some 12 days ago.
But on the junior day the message was less complex. “It was just a simple talk about the program and how I would fit in it," he said. "And of course I asked questions more about how football and academics correlate."

Robinson, who also boasts verbal scholarship offers from LSU, Florida, Mississippi State, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Oregon, Virginia Tech and Memphis, is rated the No. 21 outside linebacker and the No. 275 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
The 247Sports Composite four-star prospect, rated three stars by 247Sports at this time, had been pledged to Auburn since July 9, 2018. Robinson has had a pair of blue-chip teammates sign with the Tigers over his time at J-O in class of 2018 defensive tackle Coynis Miller and class of 2017 linebacker Tadarian Moultry, each top 100 overall prospect on 247Sports and All-Americans as high school standouts.
There is little doubt he's most comfortable on the Plains. “Auburn is my home. I’m always going to feel like that," he told Inside the Auburn Tigers following a visit to campus earlier this month.
Robinson, who can stand up on the edge or play with his hand in the dirt, has no timeline for a final decision.

quote:
National Signing Day (Feb. 6) is just about a week away, marking an end to a 2019 recruiting class that hasn't been without drama (see: McCoy, Bru).
At first glance, you'd think we're in for a quiet, fireworks-free day. Only seven uncommitted Top100 players remain. But that's not quite true. A trove of quality, committed prospects chose not to sign during the Dec. 19-21 Early Signing Period, leaving work for their presumable school of choice and whoever else wants in.
Below we've run down the top unsigned, committed prospects with the latest buzz from our 247Sports experts.

NATHAN PICKERING (73)
Committed to Mississippi State since 6/21/2018
Other potential landing spots: Alabama, LSU, Florida
Buzz: "Despite not signing early, Nathan Pickering has maintained his solid status with Mississippi State and has been one of the Bulldogs' most vocal recruiters in the class. He has taken other official visits to LSU and Florida, and has an official visit to Alabama scheduled for this weekend. However, Pickering has hinted that he may not take that visit to Tuscaloosa and appears to be finished with the recruiting process." — Paul Jones (247-MSU)
quote:
Speaking to sources with knowledge of the recruitment, and the feeling is Alabama is still being very much considered at this juncture. A home-run official visit this weekend could go a long way in deciding where Pickering ends up. -- Hank South (BOL 01/30)
