re: Class of 2026 Football Recruiting

I know Robbie personally. He (his mother Beverly) was actually excited about Alabama in freshman/sophomore year but during that junior year things changed. She had left the country focus on her political career and they basically were raising themselves because their father had some issues and struggle with his own career and marriage life.

This is where things kind of made a left turn with Bryan and Denzel... which of course affected their youngster brother Robbie.

Anyways, login story short (not going to go into more detail than that) both younger brothers were going through the recruiting process with too many other interested parties playing factors. When it was Robbie's turn he felt a connection (other stuff here as well as you can assume) with Clemson but his mom wanted to keep the boys close because of circumstances which had occurred due to the absence of both parents.

So it basically ended up being a "if you got Denzel you get Robert". He did in fact try to help teammates but that's because Robbie was genuinely a good kid. Neither brother would admit this to me but Ole Miss was a horrible option, did nothing to develop them and only allowed an environment which hampered the greatness they could have achieved.

They needed the structure of Saban and Alabama. Before their mother left they seemed pretty much headed for that as well.
