Question: Jovon Robinson to Alabama?

CapstoneGrad06 · Apr 9, 2013

Jovon Robinson made some waves on Instagram last night about enrolling at Alabama. BOL has confirmed that there is interest, but hurdles still to overcome.

If the name sounds familiar, he has been at the center of an academic fraud investigation in a Memphis school district that involves Auburn. He has apparently been cleared of that and is leaving AU.

I think he went Juco last fall.

I HAVE TO YELL OVER THE WHALING AND GNASHING OF COW TEETH AT THE THOUGHT OF THIS BEING TRUE.

The fambly would cry fowl for years.

99% sure that's a fake instagram account.

BOL says otherwise. They've checked with sources close to the information.

Bama recruited him during the early stages of his recruitment, but when word got out on his academic issues, Bama back off. he has the size and built that CNS likes in his RBs.

So you're telling me there's a chance...

With all of his baggage the barn can keep him. We don't need that.

I trust BOL's reporting, so I don't want to dismiss it. With that said, does Bama really need another RB that is not entering his senior year of high school?

Probably not, but it would be my assumption that he is enrolling on his own dime if he overcomes his academic issues. If so, I can't see why you would turn away a four star prospect with his size, speed and if this is true an attitude of I can break into that Bama backfield rotation.

Could it be Saban enjoys irritating barners as much as we do?

glasscutter256 · Apr 9, 2013

I just can't help but think it could be a setup. I wonder if Auburn will pay him to enroll at Bama and do something illegal that will get the school in trouble. I wouldn't put it past some barners who have money.

They've tried to pull some stuff; CNS has sniffed out the barn tactics before (Reuben's flip before coming back to the good guys), so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Really? Folks in Gadsden would have a laugh there. Guys that like to take kids on boat rides just chuckled. Jelks. I could go on...

EDIT: I do not believe this to be the case though, as they are the ones that helped solidify his not playing this year, but they are not above it if the situation fit.

Moo lulz at; 0:41, 2:18, and 4:17.

Its cool how he can just 'get behind the defense'!

Do we need or even want someone like Robinson to take up a scholarship and ride the bench for 4 years.

gmart74 · Apr 9, 2013

Aren't we already stocked with highly ranked running backs? Why take a chance on a guy that adds nothing to the team?

Yep!

Simply no room for him at the Capstone as an RB. :cool2:

So is this talk of him coming involve a scholarship or not?
