Interesting. I know of a great Latin root word that sort of describes the actual fate of that language...

Feel free to tell us how that's incorrect though.

Little mention of Georgia Tech or Notre Dame. This weekend is huge if Georgia is going to sign him.
quote:
He has two official visits left. UGA is planned this week and he hopes to also visit Alabama and Stanford prior to his decision. Look for that in mid-March, but he made it clear he was under no personal deadline. He still sounds a few weeks away from a decision.
quote:
He just signed up for an SAT tutoring course now as he approaches that exam in the future. Another test is set for March 5. The results should follow back two weeks after that.
quote:
The relationship he has with UGA assistant coach Glenn Schumann is another link.
“I really know how he is,” Robertson said. “I really know the kind of guy he is. He’ll put in early work with you and stay late as well. He’ll take care of you. He is like a family member to me.”
The Savannah Christian standout stated it would’ve been “50-50” whether or not he would have committed to Alabama before his junior season if Schumann had not been on that staff. Carlos Robertson even felt Schumann was the main reason his brother committed to Alabama.

For Tech, encouraging statement from Demetris Robertson
LINK /
One in 6 grads of GT a millionaire.
40 year decision.
DR says fans are only seeing what they want to see.
Fans of other schools (UGA and Bama I gather) underestimate how serious he is about academics and how football is NOT is top priority.
But go ahead. Keep counting GT out. This is the second time in separate interviews that the kid says he is serious about GT despite biased articles from click bait sites.
Not saying he will end up at GT but GT fans are far from crazy believing we have a shot.
SEC fans can't seem to stand a 5 star recruit really does care about academics and God forbid football doesn't come first.
Truth is the kid is already smarter than 50% of the kids who can barely read that are on an SEC roster.

I don't see how you can gather that from this thread. I do think Robertson loves the attention of being the last remaining five star, but I also believe he's made it clear that education is a top priority.
Georgia Tech fans are looking desperate here. In a "don't forget about us!!" kind of way.

Have you paid any attention to ND fans? Lol GT fans aren't forcing the kid say those things he has chosen to.
How the frick is one fan of GT posting news relevant to a recruit somehow allow you draw a conclusion about the populace of the GT fanbase?

Also, one in 6 grads a millionaire. Not too shabby. Doesn't hurt that one of his family members is one of them either. :)

Don't see why that matters; Robertson is talented enough on the field to be a millionaire regardless of where he goes. If making money were the main goal, education wouldn't need to be a top priority for him. Hell, a Terry degree plus being a big name UGA football player is enough to keep him financially stable in the state of GA for life
Posted on 2/24/16 at 10:47 am to tylerdurden24
Financially stable and financially able to support multiple generations are two very different levels. And believe me, anyone who competently hires for a nice job will look dead last that he was a "big time player for UGA". LOL. Don't flatter yourself.
Posted on 2/24/16 at 10:57 am to tylerdurden24
This weekend's visit is huge for UGA but if he wants to major in civil engineering I really don't see how UGA or Bama makes any sense for him, I would love to have him but I'm not holding my breath. He stated on Mon. that he will keep taking the SAT until he gets the required score to qualify for Stanford, this could play out til May or so since he will only be signing FA papers and not a LOI.
Posted on 2/24/16 at 11:00 am to MustangGTech
I understand why you're here, but you're coming off like an A&M fan. We get that your school has great academics, but the kid is also an athlete and athletes want to compete for the ultimate prize. Something he clearly won't do at tech.not with Florida state and Clemson in that conference. Academics are important to him, but so is winning. Tech just doesn't fit the criteria
Posted on 2/24/16 at 11:12 am to MustangGTech
Can I get a link to the millionaire status? Like some actual proof that this is true. I've searched the Google but I can't see any hard numbers.
Posted on 2/24/16 at 11:13 am to MustangGTech
Do you think Herschel Walker is just a millionaire because of his business savvy? Or hank Aaron for that matter. You're fooling yourself if you don't think that buys instant marketability in this state

What does 1 in 6 GT graduates are millionaires even mean? A million in a lifetime? Multi-millionaire? Is this based off of lifetime salary alone? Yearly salary? The idea of 1 in 6 GT grads pulling in a 7 figure yearly salary is absurd. In 2011 there were less than 250,000 people claiming they earned 7 figures a year on their taxes LINK. I doubt the majority of them are GT grads. By the way there is no data on this that proves it is true, at least not online. Any collegiate admissions and career services office would advertise that number to the high heavens.
The truth is anybody with a bachelor's degree is expected to have a lifetime income of over a million. LINK
Any engineer, from any ABET certified program, especially with a graduate degree can expect to be a multi-millionare over a lifetime. You have to stop it with the income argument. Once you start working your starting salary, job performance, and professional network is going to have the most impact on your lifetime salary, not your college. GT is a great education with a good alumni network but your numbers are false.

I've been enjoying this thread too much to even get off on the tangent that undergrad degrees are only worth as much as you make them. All the value is either in your network/connections or the graduate programs you are able to put yourself into position for. Anyone can go to Tech, UGA, Stanford, or Bama and be able to work their way to where they want to go, be it a nice job or an Ivy League grad school. A Bachelors degree only signifies completion anymore; it's not some coupon redeemable for a job at company x worth y dollars.
Posted on 2/24/16 at 1:23 pm to tylerdurden24
I completely agree. Honestly what many young people believe about the value of an undergraduate degree, the prestige of the institution and what people earn out of college is so off it is disturbing. The idea that you just go to Stanford or Tech and you are some how now blessed with different knowledge than people who went to other schools and a higher salary is pervasive in young and old alike. It is mostly about resources, networks, and access to graduate schools that these places provide. And if you do not take advantage of your resources, the name on the degree becomes almost useless. Kids go from all types of non elite schools into Ivys or elite grad schools and others use their networks and co-ops to build incredible careers. Elite undergrads definitely give you a leg up if you use it correctly but there are many other viable ways to success.

GT fans are a little insecure.
No one is counting GT out but what GT fans fail to understand you are really no better then any SEC school because no matter how much you try and defend your position GT is still a backup plan for him. The simple fact is he wants to go to Stanford. If not he is considering GT as well as UGA and UA. No where in any link you have provided does he say he wants to go to GT over the other 2. I know it is hard for you to comprehend but GT is only a backup plan at this point and nothing more.
Actually the funny part is your statement. The other day you were arguing my post on how good GT football is. You are one of those that will change your argument to fit your current rant I see. One day he is looking at GT because of both academics and football now it is academics only.
GT still a 2nd tier program for DR because if the academics were so great in his mind at GT I doubt if he could not get into Stanford he could get into GT and if GT was so great he would have already committed to GT. Just be happy you are a backup plan.
