C Elbert Robinson -> LSU

[ajb5856]

When can we expect a Robin update of the Elbert situation clarifying his interest level?

[colhusker]

Add in Rosenthal mentioned he is coming.

[hhcmatt]

Something's odd.   He wouldn't have just scheduled an official visit if he had no interest.  In less than 24 hours, he goes from visiting to no interest?  One of these is unreliable.  Not sure which but we'll find out soon enough.

 

Obviously it's a mistake.  

There are a lot more glamorous places than Lincoln, NE to use an official visit while having no interest

[hhcmatt]

 

Saturday, September 7, at 1:00 p.m., Nebraska volleyball take on Georgia; at 5:00 p.m., Nebraska football takes on Southern Miss.

 

If I was Tim Miles, I'd be tempted to make sure Elbert sees those really tall girls in spandex before he leaves Lincoln.

 

Everybody should see them at least once, Norm.

 

HUBBA HUBBA!!

 

 

I know Miles has a lot of pull at Nebraska, but do you think he's connected enough yet to score volleyball tickets?  

[colhusker]

Maybe he reads this board and saw that Norm mentioned tall girls in spandex!

Beat me to it

just for comparison, Hibbert was 7'1 250 in high school. Elbert will have to put in a lot of work to be a 30 min a night player.

it also took hibbert 3 years to be 30 min a night player..i watched almost every GTOWN game possible during his career, it wasnt until his junior year before he even resembled anything of a big east center...my expectations are somewhat similar for Elbert.

[bobcat402]

mark me down as confused..why would some make a visit in two weeks. than the next trim that school of their offer list.....

[cornfed24-7]

Well hmmmmmmm

[Badgett Fan]

mark me down as confused..why would some make a visit in two weeks. than the next trim that school of their offer list.....

probably cause he hasn't trimmed that school from his list.  the scout list at issue does not have Georgetown on it at all, nor does it have Georgia Tech, the school he is visiting this weekend.

[Miles ahead of the rest]

Scout also shows that Texas and Baylor haven't offered him while rivals says both have.  So there's another dispute in the sites.

[FredsSlacks]

can anyone think of a high school prospect that was 7'1 330 that turned out to be an all conference player?

TS is the negative nelly for the most part when it comes to recruiting.

Well if Pitino, Self and Mata are interested in him....I'm going to take their eye for talent over yours on this one.  Sorry.

For those who don't have access to the Husker Rivals Premium Tunnel Talk, you need to purchase that access [i will then demand a finder's fee] and read the portion of today's Tunnel Talk on Robinson.  It has some background information on the Husker's chances with him.

I am unable to for whatever reason access it on my phone even though I'm a member.....I'm on the road now.  Is it good news?  Partial?  Help me out!  PM me if you don't want to post that access on this board.  Thanks!

I read it. Wow. In summary, Elbert's family has handed over all of his recruitment to his AAU coach who happens to be a huge Husker football fan. Robinsons family is very reserved yet Kenya Hunter has formed a very close relationship with them. When Kenya came here, Nebraska became an immediate option. The family, the AAU coach, and Elbert will all be here next weekend.

[The Coach]

From Sam McKewon:

 

 

Robinson averaged 20 points, 17 rebounds and four blocks over the summer, shot 78 percent from the free-throw line and lost 20 to 30 pounds. Lawrence Johns, his AAU coach, said he projects well as a “true center” in the NBA.

Johns compared Robinson's skill set to that of Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert.

“Elbert's the last of the Mohicans,” said Johns, who counts among his friends former Nebraska defensive tackle Neil Smith. “He's a dying breed. He wants to go somewhere where he can play.”

NU will be the second of Robinson's official visits. Georgia Tech is the destination this weekend. The elder Robinson said Ohio State, Texas A&M and TCU are other major contenders for his son.

“He's kind of of the mind that he wants to make his own mark,” he said.

[Cookie Belcher]

Well that all sounds fantastic. Come on down, Elbert.

[Norm Peterson]

I like the "make his own mark" comment.  That suggests a willingness to go away from the traditional name schools and attend a place where you'll maybe be more remembered.

 

Aaaaaaand, I guess Scout was wrong.  Heh, heh.

 

(Now, if we can just convince Jonah Bolden to make his own mark at Nebraska.)

And Neil smith will be hanging out with them too.

That is too cool.  Good to have well-placed friends.  Ahem.

 

Now are any former Huskers tight with a top 25 shooting guard?

Not sure if we will land him but I have to think we have a serious shot.  Not easy to beat out some home schools and OSU but we have some things in our favor IMO.  This would be a HUGE get in more ways than one.  Love that free throw percentage for a big man also...
