Trevor Robinson.

[brownkj002]

He has already made his third trip to ND (Jr Day). Obviously, this will come down to Nebraska and ND. It will be a hard getting him out of Nebraska. Hopefully, he will be like Romine and leave his beloved state.

The "weather" obviously isn't an issue with him.

[BGIF]

ND and NU lead over IOWA, UM, WIS, and KU. Other offers: A&M NCS VU and BC.

The Huskers already has a couple of OLs and available slots may be getting scarce.

He's bumped his BP up 5 pounds to 360 and his Squat up 20 to 500. Those would be impressive numbers for a HS Senior.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Interesting to see what unfolds with him in the future.

Yeah, unfortunately for Warren he had too many smokes to go with the Pina Colada's and did not even make it to 60. Great loss, who else would have come up with Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.

VH1 ran a documenatary of him making his last album as he was dying. Man, that was something to watch. Some great songs came out of it, though.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

I was also sad to see Peter Brady's career end so suddenly. Tragic.

ditto on the zvon and hopfully we won't need to use any pics this year stone man...

His name did cross my mind while posting that. LOL

[rontdtarchala]

is acamp currently under the no nicotine torture test also

[stonebreakerwasgod]

No, his affinity for cats is well known to all in ND land.

[rontdtarchala]

they make great target practice and of course bookends

[irishunclebill]

It has been confirmed that Trev will visit ND & scUM this weekend and that Nebraska coaches have been advised of this.

[Svoboda]

Wow.

[IrishCalves]

Can anyone remember how many times he visited UM? I know he visited the Irish 4-5 times, but I have to wonder...

He is definitely our top priority on OL. Patchan may be a better athlete with his 6'7" frame and his much ballyhooed footwork, but Robinson is a pure, nasty, piledriving lineman. I'm DEFINITELY keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

[mlcspinner]

Double WOW

[mlcspinner]

Hey now acamp is not the only one who likes (loves) cats

[Svoboda]

The fact that he's visiting two schools makes me think he is going to make a switch.

[irishunclebill]

Something very bad had to have happened in Lincoln for this turn of events. A trip like this almost certainly means a de-commit no matter where Trev ends up. He did not go to Michigan as often as ND, and you would have to say that ND has the edge here because all indications are that it was only ND & NU at the end of his first decision. This trip will be the deciding factor for sure, but this is something that Robinson must have been thinking about for awhile as it pertains to ND because I do not believe that it is mere coincidence that this comes up right after Patchan announces that he is also planning a trip to ND.

All of this begs the question, is there enough room for ND to take both Trev & Patchan, should Patchan be also blown away during his visit. It does not seem like that is possible, but how do you turn down 2 guys like Robinson & Patchan. Also, what about Forst, he has to know that either one of these guys committing has to close out his seat on the bus, so you know if we do not hear any rumblings from that camp in the next few days that Forst is willing to settle for Rutgers. In any case, if Trev does commit to ND this weekend, we will know pretty quickly if they will still try to find room for Patchan, because he would cancel his trip otherwise.

[Svoboda]

Could be they have a massive OL line haul and he could have been lied to on who they were going to bring in, etc. I believe they took a 5th OL commitment on 6/27, so if you look at the timing, it could have been related.

If they told him they were only taking 4 or not bringing anyone else in at his position and then did just that, he could feel betrayed. Or there could be behind the scenes issues with the coaching staff like Gary Gray from last year.

The funny thing about the 5th OL that they took in is that he is a JUCO from North Dakota of all places. If that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, then someone on the Nebraska coaching staff is going to have a lot of explaining to do.

[NDGirlzRock]

Calves or IUB...You guys seem like the gurus so I'm directing this towards you. Why toss the skunkbears into the mix of I'm visiting both schools this weekend? If he tells everyone that is visiting both ND and the polecats to the north, is he covering his but so he doesn't look bad if ND says "sorry, ghostrider the pattern is full!" Which they won't! Could he really be that worried about loosing his seat on the bus?

[Svoboda]

Michigan was this third choice at the time and said to be a distant third after he narrowed it to Nebraska and Notre Dame. So he could just be re-evaluating his Top 3 and then making a final decision.

That said, I like the fact we're getting the last visit.

ND is in the drivers seat here right now, but Trev is a very deliberative type guy so he wants to make sure he makes the right choice. Besides, if he has already picked ND for sure, why bother to make the trip, just make the call. This is not a done deal but as SVO said right now I like ND's chances better.

[rontdtarchala]

if he does verb to us that will most definitely be the last ol guy taken right?

[irishunclebill]

You'll know that answer if Patchan cancels his trip. I do think it would rule out Forst though.

[rontdtarchala]

I can live with that

[IrishKnight1023]

Eh........This scenario could very well happen. McCarthy could make (18) followed by Trev. (19) then Filer (20) and Jeremy (21) then Sabino (22) and by the end of July we could be full with only spots open for Floyd and possibly another receiver? I think without a doubt this ends the OL recruiting.

[rontdtarchala]

that was my line of thinking also

[NDGirlzRock]

I'd have to agree. On the long shot that we don't get either Filer or McCarthy. I think Patchan still has a chance, but then I think you have to throw Compton into the mix. No Filer I think Compton gets an offer.

[irishunclebill]

Trev is denying that he has de-committed from Nebraska but has confirmed that he wants to take another trip to ND & Michigan, just said that he has not made plans yet for the visit.

BTW, Trev is in Nebraska right now which I think for him at the present time means he has to be in the Land of Denial.

Thought I read that he plans on being here this weekend! So much for no plans! D'Nile is a river in Egypt my friend.

[irishunclebill]

Trev has quickly left the Land of Denial has he not. He will be here this weekend, if not, definitely next weekend before Patchan shows up.

[rontdtarchala]

its a race for the last oline spot...its freekin july my amigo's is anyone else amp'ed over recruiting...I already know the answer I just had to say it

[Svoboda]

A 2008 offensive line recruit from Elkhorn, who committed to Nebraska in April, says he's having second thoughts.

According to our Big Red insider, Sean Callahan of huskersillustrated.com, Trevor Robinson said Tuesday that while he still considers himself a Husker verbal-commit, he's planning unofficial visits to Notre Dame and Michigan later this month.

Robinson, rated four-stars and the number three offensive guard nationally for 2008 by rivals.com, said he informed Husker offensive line coach Dennis Wagner of his decision Monday night.

Good for us, but if he were an Irish commit and pulling that crap, he'd be a decommit.

yes he would so if he is considering us he better be sure...hell no coach will not play with the young man guaranteed

Oh, it sounds harmless enough.

“We are going for a drive, and that’s all it is right now,” said Wade Robinson, father of touted Nebraska football recruit Trevor Robinson.

The Robinsons’ plans for a long drive later this week created a stir Tuesday among Husker fans, at least those on Internet message boards and blogs. Unease and even consternation occurred because Trevor Robinson, a 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive lineman, revealed that he will again visit the campuses of Notre Dame and Michigan.

A senior-to-be at Elkhorn High School, Robinson verbally committed to Nebraska on April 7 after making previous visits to Ann Arbor, Mich., and South Bend, Ind. Robinson remains verbally committed to Nebraska, his father said.

“We’re simply looking to make sure of Trevor’s decision being 110 percent,” said the elder Robinson, associate vice chancellor for student affairs at Nebraska-Omaha. “What we’re looking at is three tremendous football programs and three tremendous coaching staffs.

“So, what does the college selection process come down to? It may be the academic quality of the institution and the social environment. As a player’s dad, you want to be sure they really like what they’re doing and that they’re 100 percent with the decision. It doesn’t mean he’s not 100 percent (toward Nebraska); it’s just that this is the time of year that it makes sense to look around a little and understand what’s the best fit as a total college experience.

“This is all on our dime, on our time,” he added. “This is just how we’re approaching the process.”

Trevor Robinson has visited Michigan twice and Notre Dame at least three times, his father said. When Trevor verbally committed to Nebraska in April, he said, “The big thing is, Nebraska’s close to home. There’s nothing I can do footballwise at those other places that I can’t do at Nebraska.”

[ND Fanatic]

I just got a feeling that Robinson is going to stay in Nebraska. Nothing has changed at ND or Mich since his visits, except for recruiting classes, that I believe will change his mind. Of course, I don't understand what thru up the red flag to start his re-visits, but its going to get a Neb kid out of Neb.

[scooper]

It doesn’t mean he’s not 100 percent (toward Nebraska)

Yes it does. If he were 100%, he'd know it and wouldn't be looking around. If I were a Nebraska fan, I'd be a bit pissed off at daddy's double talk right now. But...I'm an ND fan so screw them. Have a great trip, Trev. Just keep an eye out for masturbating DT's in Ann Arbor.

Other than the fact that ND has one ofthe top classes this year already on board!:D

We did not have 17 top flight recruits filling his ear full of goodness the last time he visited.
I would not be surprised if he is going to check out the committed players to see if they gel. Anyway here is to wishful thinking.

Of course, I don't understand what thru up the red flag to start his re-visits, but its going to get a Neb kid out of Neb.

I believe that under the surface he wanted ND the whole time. He was like that kid who keeps returning to a certain aisle in a store to look at a shiny new toy but just can't bring himself to spend his hard earned money on it. He may even leave the store, only to come back a day later and buy it.

Does this mean he'll end up at ND? No. Who knows? Something kept him home and I think that was it-being close to home. Now he just wants to revisit exactly how important that is to him.

[Svoboda]

Yes it does. If he were 100%, he'd know it and wouldn't be looking around. If I were a Nebraska fan, I'd be a bit pissed off at daddy's double talk right now. But...I'm an ND fan so screw them. Have a great trip, Trev. Just keep an eye out for masturbating DT's in Ann Arbor.
Yeah, I caught that too. I think in the end his dad just wants his son to be happy and will do what it takes to make sure it happens -- even if he puts a foot or two in his mouth.

[IrishCalves]

Yeah... the timing of this visit is what rattles my cage... all the talk about the class filling up, time to s*#! or get off the pot, and lo and behold... and when I hear his dad say, "It may be the academic quality of the institution and the social environment" when it comes to the final decision, I have to think that thats directed towards ND. I don't know the graduation rates of Nebraska, but ND's rates are through the roof, while carrying a more reputable name than NU... maybe he stays because he doesn't want to be that far from home, I dunno... we'll just have to wait and see.

[NDGirlzRock]

Hey I'm from South Bend and as far as student life, it's next to none. Out of site man. As far as night life in SB, well from experience it is lacking, however, it has improved drastically in the 5 years since I moved away. But isn't the program CW is building so much more about the character of individuals. I know, I partied my A** off in college, but you can do that on campus very easily. Who hasn't? The point is, ND isn't about being able to go out and hang with Jessica "The Bimbo" Simpson at some posh nightclub. And if the club scene is what some of these kids are looking for, then IMO we don't need them at ND, cause all they are going to do is get into trouble and cause problems. (Stepping down from my soap box!) Rock-on-Irish!!!

[irishunclebill]

There's no question that the class filling up is bringing this to a head, but there is anectdotal evidence starting to pile up that tends to support the theory that ND has been Trev's favorite all along, and that he only picked NU because it was close to home, not because it was his top school choice. As the ND class filled up it is logical to assume that this kid may have started to realize that maybe his reasons for picking NU were not the most sound ones, and that if he really wanted what was "best for himself", that it was time to make a move. ND should be in good shape here unless the scUMster's blow Trev away on his visit.

[scooper]

NU fans are starting to lay this one on the dad. But, that's what home state U fans often do. See Harrison Smith.

[IrishCalves]

Time for a recap:

- Word leaks that Trevor is visiting ND and UM in the very near future, with most reports saying this weekend is when the visits will go down. He's informed the coaching staff about his intentions.
- Trevor himself says he's still 100% Husker, but he wants to clear up any "second thoughts" he's got about his decision. Says he's under a lot of stress because of all of this, and that it was hard to tell the NU coaches about his decision to visit.
- Trevor's Dad echoes his son's "on board sentiments", while saying:


So, what does the college selection process come down to? It may be the academic quality of the institution and the social environment. As a player’s dad, you want to be sure they really like what they’re doing and that they’re 100 percent with the decision. It doesn’t mean he’s not 100 percent (toward Nebraska); it’s just that this is the time of year that it makes sense to look around a little and understand what’s the best fit as a total college experience.

- ND fans get instantly hyped about their chances, while UM fans mostly write him off as either a Husker or a Leprechaun.

So what does it all mean? Things that stick out most:

1) The pair of visits - Seeing multiple schools doesn't really look or sound like reconfirmation. It sounds a lot more like re-opening his recruitment.
2) The timing of the decision - After the "surprise" announcements coming from Ethan Johnson and Jamoris Slaughter, its apparent that things are filling up very quickly in South Bend. All of a sudden Florida kids schedule summer visits on their own dime, Steve Filer speeds up his time table. Its s%(! or get off the pot time. And lets keep in mind that UM already has 4 OL commits themselves, so time is of the essence in Ann Arbor as well.
3) Papa Robinson's comments - Notice how he singles out a pair of factors in the final decision; "academic quality of institution and social environment". If Trevor was just having a funny feeling about it all, certainly his father wouldn't be able to mention specific elements about Trevor's college choice that currently are on his mind. Its obvious that they've talked about this for a while, and that this is a little more than just "reconfirmation".

My take on it all (very much subject to bias):

If he were simply reconfirming his faith in Nebraska as his choice, wouldn't it make more sense for him to simply visit NU again? I mean if he were legitimately 100% Husker, then shouldn't NU be enough to calm his nerves, and sell itself to him?

I think Trevor does has faith in the NU football program. Otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned how he hated telling the coaches about his decision, and reiterated his faith in Nebraska's ability to get to the promised land.

However, with time running out, and having had time to distance himself from his original decision, the school side of his choice kept ringing in his head. I think the environment off the field is what's prompting this visit from Trevor. Not to say that Nebraska is bad... but Notre Dame is simply a class above it as a school. The alumni connections, the support staff for student athletes, the name recognition that a Notre Dame degree has... its near the top spot in D1 football.

How do I explain a 2nd school if he's really just looking at ND? The decision to visit risks his standing with the NU staff, and there's no guarantee that ND has space for him. Publicly there are 5-7 spots available based on best guesses, but how many of those are saved for the likes of Filer, Sabino, Floyd, and so forth? So, announcing a 2nd school to visit gives him a safety the other two bridges have been burned in the process.

Alright, I'm off my soap box. Thoughts?

[irishunclebill]

Can't argue a single point. Let's hope the theory meets fruition.

Probably the best news for ND all day on Robinson other than Husker fans having a tizzy is that the Beaver bozo from the Michigan recruiting site who said that McCarthy would choose between scUM & OSU is also now saying that Trev Robinson will pick scUM. Well, that's good enough for me.:rolleyes:

Welcome to the Irish, Trev.;)

Seriously, between GBW & this Beaver character, how bad do you have to be before your fans lynch you. The guys on the 2 Wolverine recruiting sites make Farrell look like a f'ing genius, and that is extremely difficult to do.

Well, I'm not really active on IE outside of keeping up with old friends in the off topic board, but I had to put my two cents in.

Here's my answer.


I like Nebraska. They're old school prestige football. They have great tradition and a great fanbase who knows their football and usually appreciates a good fight from the opponent. So, I will not attack willie or the Huskers.

However, opposing fans always blame the parents when a hometown kid shuns them for the Irish. Believe me, willie. We've heard it many times. Last year's version was Harrison Smith with Tennessee. We hear it pretty much yearly.

We also hear yearly "lifelong fan of ..." Well, right now we have two lifelong Michigan fans among our committed. Granted, they are not from Michigan, but they are self admitted lifelong fans who now that their own futures and careers are on the line, decided to go with ND for their own reasons. It's not always about what you bled when you were 8. Sometimes it's about what you want to bleed until you are 80.

So if he switches to ND, blame Daddy if it makes you feel better. Other fans do it. Our excuse to make us feel better when we lose a guy is usually academics or somesuch. We all have them.

Now, ND got bit on 5 recruits that we know of last year that supposedly had committed to Weis at some point. Two of those on signing day. So the coaches are a little gun shy. Do you think they'd fill our final O-line spot with a kid who doesn't want to be here, or who is doing it only for daddy with the chance that he could change daddy's mind?

But if it makes you feel better....

Now, good luck this year with or without TR. Beat USC.

[NDGirlzRock]

Get him scoop....the more he says the less believable he becomes.

[scooper]

He won't answer me. I'm not fighting him or flaming him...just facing him with common sense. He seems to fear that.

[IrishCalves]

Can anyone concretely answer if he is in South Bend yet? - Yes, I am trying to change the subject. I'm just tired of all the rumor - counter rumor discussions going on with McCarthy and Robinson as of late. Sorta puts a sour taste in my mouth.

[scooper]

Yes. He is in South Bend.

[Grady]

Nice post scooper. You probably threw him with the logic.

[NDGirlzRock]

Right!!!

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Logic bores me, I prefer boobs or strip poker. Hijacking commenced and ended.

[irishunclebill]

Hijacking ended for sure as we are hearing very good signals that the Robinson trip has been extremely positive for Notre Dame.

[IrishCalves]

Sorry if I am asking already asked questions, but has he already gone to Ann Arbor or ? I read it on a different forum, but... well, lets face it, there are few forums as on the ball as GH. :)

[irishunclebill]

Not sure that he has been or if he is really even going. We are told that he has been at ND since Friday.

[IrishKnight1023]

Is Weis there, or is he taking care of his trial thing?

[Svoboda]

Weis was in South Bend today.

[IrishCalves]

I'll take your guy's "Don't be nervous if you don't hear anything immediately" to heart... though it may not be easy.

Commitment Crisis!…or is it?
By Blankman | July 10, 2007

THIS IS THE INTERNET! TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF THE DESK AND STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!

Okay, so by now you’ve probably heard that Elkhorn Antler Trevor Robinson is allegedly going to be taking trips to Notre Dame and Michigan to check things out one last time to make absolutely, positively sure he’s made the correct choice and you know what I say to THAT, Husker Nation? That’s cool.

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!” I’ve heard that phrase a lot today, at least in ratio to the people I’ve spoken to about the issue and while my mental faculties aren’t on trial here, I can assure you that my statement hasn’t changed in about oh…three years or so. Back when I first started talking to kids like Trevor, I realized one very important thing: These kids are human beings making a very tough choice. It was rare (and often welcomed) when a recruit could shoot the breeze with a guy who wanted to call for quotes. Even as recently as the last show, I encouraged recruits to dictate their process as enjoying it is most important, at least to me.

[NDGirlzRock]

For what it's worth the Scout/Michigan site has an article posted that states they talked to Trev's mom and that they are back from the trip. (Trev's mom has got it goin' on!!!)

I was gonna go there, but I held up under heavy internal pressure. Prior thoughts were deleted. :)

Trev Robinson is no longer listed as a Nebraska commit on Scout. There is also an unconfirmed rumor that Trev has officially told Nebraska that he has de-committed them, but will consider them along with ND & scUM when he makes his choice.

[mlcspinner]

great news

-------It's been confirmed by Scout and Rivals has him as a soft-verbal but should be changing that soon. He's de-committed and says UM, NU and ND are all on equally footing.

[scooper]

As a de-commit, there's no way Nebraska is on equal footing right now. It's another ND-scUM showdown.

[mlcspinner]

Nd Wins

[irishunclebill]

Husker Illustrated has a sticky at the top of their board that is apparently saying that Trev will commit to ND. However, no details as of yet.

[irishunclebill]

Robinson to ND is all over the Rivals message boards. The source in every case is Huskers, so we are looking for some sort of confirmation from ND sources.

Danny might not be #18 after all, he might be #19.:D However, if in fact, Trev is ready to commit to ND, there is no indication whatsoever of time.

Hold on to your hats, folks, looks like it is going to be a wild ride this afternoon.

WOW! All i have to say is, Sam young, matt Romine, Trevor Robinson, Tyler Dever and Mike Golic upfront for the 2009 ND Fighting Irish. Thats a sweet OL.

[irishunclebill]

The information being exchanged between mods on Nebraska sites and mods on ND sites is that Trev will be Irish. So it is not just Husker fans, but the source is still Nebraska.

Wow... like the kid every had bad things to say about their program. I hope they feel big and proud about themselves after ripping on a 17 year old like he's a piñata.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

I'm surprised by that. It's not even close to LOI day, and he didn't exactly backstab 'em.

[irishunclebill]

It's precisely because of those types of threads that Trev may not confirm anything until the heat dies down. He has been contacted and has denied that he has de-committed or re-committed to anyone. Also, the Nebraska boards are seemingly backing off on their earlier statements. It seems a little late though for all of that, between the announcements and the negative posts on their boards, it's hard to imagine that the bridge has not completely burnt down.

[irishlaw77]

Yeah, that's terrible. I think that dad's attempt to deflect a lot of the criticism that was inevitable if Trevor dropped his commitment to the Huskers failed. Nothing he did would prevent an uproar. Now Nebraska fans perceive Trevor as being unable to make up his own mind. It's so convenient to blame the dad rather than believe that changing commitments is actually what Trevor might think is best for himself.

Yes I agree. I would take the heat if it were my son. I can only hope i can one day take the brunt for my son if he is ever so lucky to be in Trevor's shoes. People (fans) can be so misguided sometimes. The kid is just trying to make a choice that will affect the rest of his life. i say good luck to him. I cant even imagine what it is like for him. Whoever he chooses, good luck.

I read on one Nebraska board that anouncement should be in next 12 to 24 hours in favor of N.D.

[notredomer23]

Great first post!!!

[notredomer23]

He is gone. Good Luck Trevor.

Let's not get all worked up about this. He is gone, he is not coming back....let's just move on. I am hoping this isn't a huge surprise to the coaching staff and they have a back up plan. But its OK, we will be fine....WE ARE NEBRASKA. There will definitely be some talented linemen that DO want to be a part of our program.


that was a quote from a NebrASSka fan over on huskerboard. Another one said that Trevor will be announcing his committment to ND with the next 24-48 hours.

NU Football: Is Robinson still NU-bound? Mum's the word
(http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1200&u_sid=10080122)


Published Tuesday | July 17, 2007
NU Football: Is Robinson still NU-bound? Mum's the word
BY MITCH SHERMAN
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

The recruitment of Trevor Robinson grows more interesting by the day.

Robinson, a heralded offensive lineman at Elkhorn High School, is back from weekend visits to Notre Dame and Michigan. His family has turned mum, though, on Robinson's status as a Nebraska football recruit - that and nearly everything else.

"Our discussions are with coaches only," his father, Wade Robinson, said Monday. "That's just the way it has to be."

Trevor Robinson, rated by rivals.com and scout.com among the nation's top 100 senior prospects and the No. 2 player in Nebraska, accepted an NU scholarship in April. Nebraska extended its offer last September, along with Notre Dame, on the first day schools were allowed to do so.

All seemed well until last week, when Wade Robinson said his son needed one more look at his two other favorite colleges to confirm the decision. Wade Robinson emphasized at the time that Trevor had not backed out of his pledge to the Huskers.

On Monday, the elder Robinson refused to say as much.

"Because it's a little hectic, we're just not talking to any (news media)," Wade Robinson said. "Everything is just too easily misconstrued."

And so it remains unclear if Robinson should count in the Huskers' class of 2008 recruits, which stands at 14 without him.

The class includes four other offensive linemen: Baker Steinkuhler, regarded as the top prospect in Nebraska out of Lincoln Southwest, Dan Hoch of Harlan, Iowa, Bryce Givens of Denver and Omaha Burke graduate Ricky Henry, who now attends the North Dakota State College of Science.

Robinson was a first-team All-Nebraska selection as a junior. He turned down offers from Texas A&M, Iowa and others in addition to Notre Dame and Michigan for Nebraska.

All commitments are non-binding until February, when high school seniors will sign letters of intent.

[IrishCalves]

Good call Swiss Family. Don't give any of the bashers any more fuel for the fire. Do right by you and yours.

[Fishin'_Irish]

that was a quote from a NebrASSka fan over on huskerboard. Another one said that Trevor will be announcing his committment to ND with the next 24-48 hours.

Same poster retracted his statement later. I still think he ends up Irish, but that's just my gut feeling. I don't have any more insight than anyone else.

[irishunclebill]

Another interesting quote from the land of corn. See link, and take note of the last paragraph.

Husker Journal (http://www.huskerjournal.com/recruiting.html)


JULY 18, 2007. PREP STAR
TYLER SANDS, offensive lineman from Boyertown, Pennsylvania has narrowed it down to two schools.

"My two leaders are Boston College and Illinois." said Sands.

"I'm going to Boston College this Sunday (July 22), and two weeks after that, I will make a decision."

"I like Boston College a lot." he said, "They are a successful team and the academics is great. Boston College has great tradition for offensive lineman."

"I went to Boston College for Junior Day's and really enjoyed it." said Sands, "At the time I didn't have a scholarship from them. I like Boston College's computer science program."

"Illinois is a great program that is ready to explode." he said, "They play in a great conference. I have a great relationship with the coaches, and they told me I could play early there. I have a friend that plays at Illinois now."

"Nebraska was my second offer, he said, "They are not my center of attention right now."

"Nebraska still recruits me hard, they told me one of their line recruits decommitted." said Sands, "Nebraska coach said some of their offensive line recruits can play on defense."

[irishunclebill]

When you have an uninterested third party say, they told me, meaning the Nebraska coaches, that would seem to confirm at the very least Trev's de-committment.

[IrishCalves]

Great legwork IUB. You're all over this one. This seems to reconfirm some of the sentiments I've seen expressed over the airwaves, that it's logistically an ND/UM battle, but the dust needs to settle, so that cooler head prevail all around to be sure of it.

[HereComeTheIrish]

Wasn't there supposed to be a second O-Line de-commit though...??? Kid looking at Texas or from Texas...I'm getting all of these damn stories mixed up. I need to go to bed... ;)

HCTI- You are thinking of Bryce Givens. He is the one that an IE poster said he met at the airport, and was on his way to meet the Cockwad, and that he also liked Texas. Givens was supposed to be interested in Texas because his buddy and teammate Nolan Brewster (the Minnesota coach's kid who spurned him) had committed to Texas before Givens had committed to Nebraska, and was supposedly still trying to convince Bryce to go to Texas.

Pretty sure that story was bogus, or it happened more than a month ago. Texas was still recruiting Givens pretty heavily until earlier this month when Givens told them he was solid with Nebraska. No one else has come out with anything to support that Givens is also trying to de-commit, and in fact if that crazy Husker fan Willie was right about anything, it was that Nebraska does not have a problem there.

Absolutely right...thank you IUB. I do recall the story and found it humorous the more I read about it. That's the trouble with recruiting is that you start to internalize all of the stories about these kids and they start to run together. Thanks man!!! Good stuff.

Big Change from Rivals.

I had a feeling that Jeremy Crabtree may have been not paying attention to what happened on the Robinson front Monday & Tuesday when he was interviewed on Rivals radio yesterday and said that Robinson had de-committed and was going to pick between ND & scUM. That was not the vibe we were seeing so I did not report Crabtree's comments here.

The latest info from Rivals completely contadicts what their national recruiting analyst said yesterday as they have now changed Trev's profile in two ways. He is no longer listed as a "soft verbal" to Nebraska, so Rivals now considers hin to be officially de-committed. More importantly, 2 schools are listed as High on his interest category, Nebraska & Notre Dame.

Take note that when Rivals lists 2 schools as High on an impending commit that if they are not sure yet, they will list them in alphabetical order. If they are sure they list the most probable school first. Since Nebraska is listed above ND in Trev's profile, but they also come before ND in alphabetical order that means that they either are not sure, or they think he will re-commit to Nebraska. IMO, they are still not sure, which means that this is still probably a 50-50 toss-up, but there is no doubt, according to Rivals at least, that this is between NU & ND, not scUM.

[notredomer23]

Bye bye, skunkbears, hello trevor

[irishunclebill]

Bye bye, skunkbears, hello trevor

It's not really a loss for scUM because they were never really in it, but it's nice to see them out of the picture at least according to Rivals. Crabtree had me worried yesterday, but I guess he was doing his Mike Farrell imitation.;)

[IrishCalves]

So, we're officially stuck in "wait and see" mode, aren't we? Boy this is an agonizing position to be in, as an ND recruitnik. I don't expect any tangible news to come until Trevor & Co. make a final decision, and who knows when that comes to fruition. At least with other decisions as close and dramatic as this, there's usually some kind of due date for an announcement. Not this time.

This situation is kind of like having the Homeland Security Advisory System constantly stuck on high alert; you figure somethings coming, but you don't know when, where, why, nor exactly what it will be. And the longer you look, the more you want to pull your hair out, for lack of real answers.

I want Trevor to take his time, but the suspense is just about too much.

[daytonirish]

I tend to lean that if Trevor wasn't going to commit to N.D. he would not have decommited from Neb. Haven't heard to many players decommit only to re-commit to same school. I think Trvor is N.D.

[irish21]

Agreed. There is no point in decommitting and then committing to same same school. People will say Mitch Mustain, but I think we all know about that here. I think hes is the bag.

[frosh]

Agreed. There is no point in decommitting and then committing to same same school. People will say Mitch Mustain, but I think we all know about that here. I think hes is the bag.

the only reason Mustain did not come to ND was because Charlie would not let him. There were no scholarships left for QBs that year. Charlie will definitely let Trevor on board if he commits while we have room for another OL.

[Sweeney6083]

Thanks Frosh but thats old news. Give it somr time on the boards this group has alot of useless knowledge like that.

Im talking about people who decommitted and recommitted to the same school. It happened with him, but that was because he wanted ND so badly ans we wouldnt take him.

[IrishCalves]

Im talking about people who decommitted and recommitted to the same school. It happened with him, but that was because he wanted ND so badly ans we wouldnt take him.

Another story of that would be Mini-Simms last year with Louisville (cant remember/too lazy to look up his first name). That one was in part due to the coaching staff change, so again there's a reason we can point to in that case that doesn't apply here.

When a kid decommits from a school, and the boat isn't being rocked at either the other school he's looking at, or the school he used to be with, 9 times out of 10 he ain't comin' back. But this one got so screwy so fast, with a bunch of conflicting reports and details shrouded in semi-mystery, that I can't take much of anything here to the bank. Wish I had been there for Gary Gray's decommit, to get a little more flavor on this subject.

Gary Gray's decommit kind of sprung up. Not many people expected it. The first time the general recruitnik population heard about it was when he was about to visit campus. His visit to campus was confirmed by some people who saw him there. I also believe his mom came along which helped in the end. I had heard some inside rumors before all this happened, but its not like all those pan out and I didn't see to much on the boards. Rock may have hinted at it at one point, i really don't remember.

Trev has been kinda quiet. Any sources out there know what's going on in his camp?

[Fishin'_Irish]

It's always calm before the storm, my friend. :)

[marv81s]

hard to get any word now that his dad has shut down talking to anyone because of the shit storm that ensued when they went on their trips to Michigan and ND. I would have to say that we'll hear something in a week or so. No sources on that, just my guess.

[futurendcoach]

I heard trevor is a definite in at notredame along with floyd and thomas. He isn't talking to anyone becuase of the policy of charlie's football factory. Right now it is Notredame all the way. Plus if you had a chance would sniff it or just go ahead and lick it?

[marv81s]

not to be rude, but what toilet did you pop out of?

[DiegoIrish]

not to be rude?

[marv81s]

OK, that was meant to be totally rude.

That was my attempt to be like that one british dude on that Idol show. Doesn't he say that before he slams those idiots on that show?

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Marv, you are dead on. That was not rude at all.

Gentlemen and ladies....let's maintain decorum here, especially in the recruit forum. Please see my thread in the pub about respecting others.

Did you read the post above Marv's? Coming from the hot pants guy, I think you have a troll on your hands.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Yeah. I agree he's looking for trouble. That's when Sheriff Stoney rolls in. :D :eek:

[NDGirlzRock]

Pull them six guns out and start shootin' Stoney! Back to Trev....I think that the silence is to let the tornado die down from his dad's statements. Them husker fans can be brutal! That said....I say by mid-August we will know where he goes!

[IrishCalves]

So long as there's no pressure from the outside regarding a commit, the staff will take a hands off approach. And we can expect the silence to continue.

Patchan will use his officials, so he is highly unlikely to take a spot any time soon. The way that one is painted is, he's a UM lean but doesn't want to be a part of the same offense he saw floundering last year. Page won't visit until its an official one. Same goes for Khaled Holmes. And Forst... will most likely visit the schools he's seriously considering one more time before he pulls the trigger, again most likely officials.

So that being the case, despite the high # of prospects with offers, there isn't much impetus to say or do anything right now. That may change when the calendar flips to August, but 'til then there isn't any pressure coming from anyone to do anything. Trevor is almost assuredly taking advantage of the clarity, to make the best choice for him.

I still feel pretty good about it, but I felt good about him the 1st time around, so we'll just wait and see.

[Irish93]

Hey IC, I think that it is time to change your avatar. How about Sabino?

[IrishCalves]

Hey IC, I think that it is time to change your avatar. How about Sabino?

I thought about it, but some others have laid claim to Sabino. I think I'll stick up for my boy Jeremy, since some of the guys here have been a little critical.

[futurendcoach]

Every body need to relax, can't a guy tell someone not to get hot in tier pants and not get killed for it. every once in a while with the greatness of all of us wondering who's next for the future of notredame we are going to need someone to say something thta is completely retarded. As far as trevor goes he is irish, I am not going to cite my source but thats the word. So relax and kick back no need to worry about it, you heard it here from the futurendcoach first. So do you wanna play with my balls now, well go out for a pass I will hit you deep.

[NDGirlzRock]

Sorry future but you aren't the first to say that. Read the rest of the posts on this topic.

[Specnatz]

Never mind ... damn the mods are quick.

Cool

[rontdtarchala]

I just simply want to get the season started...we are going to have one of if not the best recruiting classes every...lets kick the thing off already

[NDisNCin2010]

here, here!
cant wait to see the gold helmets running out of the tunnel!

"and a Freshman shall lead them..."

[GwoodND]

hey guys how everyone doing?Just saw that rivals as something on TR just wondering if anyone has read or heard anything on him?

[YoungIrish]

On power hour tonight Mike Frank predicted Robinson would commit sometime in the next week....said he thought he would want to get the decision out of the way since his high schools fall practice is about to start...Take it for what its worth I guess..

[irishunclebill]

YI- since Trev was MF's mystery commit, I presume he expects him to commit to ND, not re-commit to NU.

[YoungIrish]

Yea he was asked who he felt was the next to commit...I think its going to be Ryan Williams on his trip....Charlie will tell him the bus is leaving we want you...but he might want some more time..tough one to read b/c he doesnt talk...or maybe my boy Butler will commit..who knows..but I thought Robinson was going to commit sometime during his hs season or after..but Mike Frank seemed like he was going to commit fairly soon..but who knows with that guy...He might bust me for spreading his news on to this site lol..

[IrishKnight1023]

----He also said that 2 weeks ago and last week. He probably assumes one of these weeks he'll be right.

[Fishin'_Irish]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[NDGirlzRock]

Good one fish!

[mlcspinner]

good info on trev. in the gold club

[YoungIrish]

is he committing soon??

[marv81s]

yes, no, maybe, next week, within the next couple of days.

Nobody knows for sure YoungIrish

[Troy's Enterprise Pride]

there is no new info on T-Rob that we didn't already know.

[YoungIrish]

Mike Frank says in the comming week lol...so he knows..jk...but yea I hope he does commit soon..just another position that the bus will probably be filled up for...Ive been talking to a recruit the las couple of weeks..haha no not Butler....one that we probably dont have a great shot at..but you never know..hes spoke highly of the Irish and it suprised me..I will divulge more info later...

LOL- You dirty little tease.

[irishunclebill]

That is not 100% correct.

[Troy's Enterprise Pride]

That is not 100% correct.

other than a cryptic "he could announce soon..." message... i think it's pretty much the gist.


it's down to ND and Nebraska... T-Rob could commit soon. conflicting news reports saying he's irish and he's husker.... but we're thinking he's leaning irish. i think any recruitnik could've told you that.

No, that's not completely it, either.

[NDGirlzRock]

You do realize that what Uncle Buck is talking about could be premium info on Trev?

[WheelMan]

You don't decommit just to recommit to the same school. I don't see him giong to Neb. after decommiting from there.

[YoungIrish]

I think hes always had the Irish on his mind...He has visited the school like 5 or 6 times..I think he just commited to Nebraska in the begginng b/c it was the home town school and he had some local pressure...Now that he has been able to think about the decison and see that ND has the #1 class he will choose ND..He stated he wanted to win a national championship...and ND is the better choice..Its just a matter of time till be pulls the trigger...Charlie will be 2/3 for guys he gave Sept. 1st offers to..Come on Floyd..

Yeah we all know that Nebraska isn't going to win a NC with Callahan as the coach. The guy is inept!

8 hrs.

8hrs, the car trip from home to SB, was the reason he gave for picking Neb over ND.

[Ray Herring]

What a frustrating mess of a thread.

lol

[YoungIrish]

what do you mean??
