Funny that Bama fans have been showing DRob all the crap that UGA fans talked all weekend, he likes the tweets and mentions, then announces that UGA is his final visit. He has also told some staffers that Stanford isn't getting a visit even if he gets the score he needs on this next SAT.

I'm guilty of losing my patience on this with him canceling this past weekend, but I said earlier today elsewhere that I still want the guy in red and black. We need the best players in Georgia to stay in state and make UGA a great football team. This was posted by someone who has been giving good info on DRob...

To start off with, I have been out of pocket for more than a week and have not been on here. This Demetris stuff is insane...I got a text last Thursday night that DRob was not going to make the visit to Athens and I simple shook my head...! I had no words and still think that decision that are being made for him are starting to really make him look bad! In fact, I have actually told him this very samething today! This past weekend was completely unexcusable in my opinion but I will tell you why he says he didn't come to Athens...mom simple could not make the visit and she had been to Bama. He really wants mom to get to Athens and see what he loves about Athens! Athens to him feels much more like a family than the other schools he has taken OV's on! I still stand by the notion that he will be in Athens wtih his mom and crew before ANY decision is made. He is not going to Stanford...period! I have said and still say this is a 2 horse race and UGA is the fave! The Carlos loving this and that is simple being nice and not pissing anyone off, he's playing the game!! This is a very different recruitment and honestly I think makes DRob look bad at times when honestly he is just trying to make the best decisions! This is by no way excusing any decision or justifing any cancelled visits! Just kept all the comments and name calling to yourself until he signs a LOI...you will be happy then! If not, then daggers and darts! 

I still stand by my decision...DRob will be a Dawg! Let it all play out and then see where the cards fall!

This whole thing is just weird to me. I mean, if he's waiting on his SAT scores to go to Stanford, then he'll need to hold on to that last official, but if he uses the last official does he go on his own dime? It's just weird. If he's really not going to Stanford, then why wait on the scores at all? Why not just choose after his UGA visit and then sign his NLI?

My guess is that the family was really hopeful for Stanford and is just conflicted now that it's an impossibility.

He's being pushed in different directions, mainly by his brother who downplays his influence big time in the interviews he does. My understanding is that he's not going to visit Stanford because he knows what they have to offer. He wants his mom to see UGA on an official. 

I haven't felt that Stanford is a likely destination for a while. I think he likes Bama and UGA; his brother would prefer he go to Bama or Notre Dame. Carlos was trying to prop up engineering at Bama on Monday, saying it's a great program and they have a plan for Demetris. Bama's engineering is ranked 104th nationally. All the little things Carlos has said over the process are crumbling apart.

I don't know how it is on 247, but some people are brutal on the Rivals board. If someone close enough to offer insight on a recruit is wrong about something or something like that last minute visit flip occurs, there are threads upon threads destroying the kid and any insider providing info about them. This was an especially bad class and time period in general since Kirby was hired for bad info being put out to very credible guys. Most of them have disappeared since NSD because the mob was hanging them out to dry.

So true.  Getting harder to get insider info thanks to the mad mob mentality on other boards

I hope Robertson knows what he is getting into with majoring Engineering. Engineering is one of the most demanding major in college. And with an engineering degree, it really doesn't matter what college you graduated from. 

To a certain degree you are right. Saying you're an engineer is like saying your a Doctor........always followed by "what kind"? Some colleges have better programs depending on what type you engineer you want to be.

I agree with you that certain programs engineering program. The majority of engineering school ranking are based on research and paper that the professor had written. And there are also some politics involve. I have an engineering degree from Mississippi State. Mississippi State is rank somewhere in the high 70s and low 80s. However, a lot of top companies recruit at MSU. Companies like Exxon, Chevron, Phillips 66, Nissan, Toyota, Dow.

Kinda like Southern Poly (Now KSU) was/is. I've had multiple engineering firm owners tell me they liked to hire kids from SPU over Tech because they were fundamentally sound engineers. Tech kids might have more imagination or creativity but as far as getting the work done and getting it right the SPU grads were better.

Miss State actually has a reputation for turning out good engineers. The thing with DRob is that he had previously said he liked the communications programs that Bama has to offer. He didn't say anything about engineering. So Carlos is putting stuff out there that isn't necessarily reflecting what Demetris has said. A lot of how this has unfolded has been out of his hands. It's his choice to do it this way though.

I just really hope his mom doesn't have something come up. They said she has already cleared that weekend from her job. It was said that she had cleared it this past weekend as well but at some point last Thursday they found out she couldn't go and decided to visit Bama instead.
