They are hoping that his dad will force him to go to tu but for the life of me I don't understand how a fan base would want a kid who absolutely doesn't want to be there.
There's a BIG precedent for this: Malik Jefferson. He wanted to come to A&M and still wishes he had. He only went to UTw because his mom told him to.
He was at the A&M v. Arkansas game last weekend @ Jerry World (UTw bye week) posing with A&M fans.
So it's happened before and will happen again. The t-shirt fandom of these parents is hard to overcome.

Things go a lot better when the coach, AD, donors and bagmen are all on the same page. Hopefully we can keep winning and develop a little more unity.

just another example of how sometimes parents can be dumb as hell too. 
if he came to a&m he'd be getting tons of hype on a much improved, dare i say impressive defense. instead he's toiling away on an embarrassment of a defense, in an embarrassment of a league for overall defense. i imagine $ is slowly being flushed down the toilet.
to be fair, chavis wasn't named as the new dc before he made an announcement i believe. though, he could have pushed back his announcement to a later date to see who a&m was going to hire (i think that's correct?), and flipping your commitment has been done in the past i believe. frick it, i've talked myself out of being fair. you get what you deserve.

Robinson's parents are only hurting him because he's going to lose his spot in this class if he keeps waiting (or being forced to wait).

It isn't T-Shirt fandom like we normally see.
I will just say it- it is because they are black and they have an aversion to A&M's conservative culture because to them conservative=racist.
This keeps coming up for us again and again even outside of Malik. Hell the only thing that finally won over RSJ's parents over their bias is Dickerson put in a good word for us.
Just having a black coach isn't enough when Texas has one too. The parents just fall back on age-old thinking. I don't know what the answer is.
