The 2nd most recent person he is following on Twitter is Coach Kirby "Smart". And yes, Georgie has a Civil Engineering program, if that matters to him.

If you've never been to Berkeley, that place is a unique depraved looney bin. It is really a bizarre place. I could totally buy into that Cal message board saying he was homesick. When we were recruiting him, I always felt like we had a small but measurable chance...like 5%. I'd say at this point its non-zero again, but I'd say like 1%. Unless he would commit on the spot (there would be no reason not to if he were actually interested), I would not spend any time on him.

So, you're saying there's a chance...

If I was CPJ, I would put Coach Andy McCollum and Coach Shiel Wood in charge of recruiting Robertson. Just my opinion, those guys have the talent to get the job done.

Yeah, what's up with that?

Who knows, I wish I could see his other post to see what’s he’s said before.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Check out the Uncle Lou Youtube link on Robertson. Don't bother watching Uncle Lou's video (I did not), but read the comments. Most of the mutt posters there don't want him.

Most of the mutt posters there don't want him.

I'm sure they will change their tune just as soon as he steps on the field in Athens.

If you're a great player NFL Scouts will find you no matter where you play......................................................................................................................................i'm just sayin'

Walter Payton, Jerry Rice among others.

I remember the reason supposedly that the Falcons drafted Steve Bartkowski instead on Walter Payton in 1975. The NFL Scouts had said Walter Payton had a bad attitude

Honestly not sure sweetness would have helped atl or had the career he had there. Bartkowski was a really good player for the falcons but he did a lot with bad o line play. Something that would have killed peytons career too

He's leaving Cal because his mom is sick. That's what I've read.

The Tennessee fans on Volnation think he will go to Tennessee

These are also the same people that think Tennessee will finish 10-2 this season. Which, on second thought, might be more likely than D Rob ending up in Knox.

The guy was a mdia hs star and seems to talk a lot

The head coach at Tennessee seems to like too talk a lot.

We will see if talk attracts talk.

After 2 years of injury plagued play at Cal, he is a major question for our program.

Funny how that’s the memory. His recruitment got so big and media crazy specifically because he never talked not because he talked too much.

As a true freshman, he had 50 receptions for 767 yards and 7 TDs.

Last year as a sophomore he caught 7 passes in the first two games before being injured.

u r probably right.

he was a highly sought wr .

the process of touring etc was probably just the same for every recruit of that stature.

we just happened to have a chance at him so we saw this process.

They also thought Chucky was coming to be their coach...

Now, now. UC-Berkeley is the best public university in the US and usually ranked in the top 7 or 8 US universities overall. There's a good argument for saying it's the best public university in the world; I certainly can't think of any solid contenders for that position. If it seems strange to you, I would suggest that it's you who have the problem, not UC-B.

Oth, I totally buy the ides that Demetrius got homesick (I hope his mom is ok). California is a quite different place then Georgia is and I'm betting that he did feel a bit out of place. Hope he decides to come to Tech after all.

I would completely agree with everything you just said. But nothing that you typed has anything to do with what I typed - I was referring to the culture of that town and around campus. I would never question the school's academic credentials.
