How exactly did that guy get "gifted" Keilan Robinson's 2020 championship rings from an uncle?

Looks like a fake job to me.
Some Texas booster probably paid Keilan $1M for them.

I think you might be onto something there.

If he did pawn them ? That is very sad the young man doesn’t understand how fortunate he was being a part of the Alabama tradition.

He wasn't though - he opted to sit out the 2020 season.

He shouldn't have received them in the first place, imo.

You can’t do that in today’s world with all the negative recruiting that would bring. Worth a few rings to keep them from trash talking you.

Oh, I get it, just sayin'.

The average fan earned those rings as much as he did, so his selling them isn't a shocker.

Getting rings hasn't stopped him from trash talking us. Ungrateful and sour grapes.

I'm actually thankful for it. It will guarantee focus will be precisely where it needs to be when we visit Austin. I'm not saying it would not have otherwise, but his words will provide a nice little boost.

Untrue, he was a player, we were not. I played HS football, it was tough, and we weren't that good. Playing at UA is tough duty, I thank all the players that have committed, played, transferred, graduated, or whatever. Hopefully everything works out well.

I thank him for the time he helped the team.

But his choosing to sit out in 2020 is no different than transferring to another school - he chose to not be part of the team. His choice - I don't blame him or question his reasons - but he didn't do anything to help the team win the NC in 2020. That's my point.

Guess he wants to make room for his 2022 UTX championship rings....

Agreed. He did not even practice due to Covid concerns. I support his decision but he knows that he didn't deserve those rings.

Yep……..

I think the fact that he the player himself got rid of the rings tells you even he admits he didn't deserve the rings. Things that mean a lot to us are usually things that we have invested a lot in. He unloaded the rings and outside of financial hardship reasons, lets me know the reason they didn't mean a lot to him, is because he didn't invest a lot to get them.

I would say anyone who is offered a scholarship and is a contributor a year prior to opting to sit out and then is awarded rings, and then transfers. He clearly does not appreciate the opportunity offered him.

I wouldn't go that far. It was a little different considering the Covid fear mongering at the time. A lot of people sat out. However, to your point, I think he saw the handwriting on the wall about playing time, and decided early to use Covid as the excuse to save his eligibility.

Then a series of things happened: 1) Everybody ended up getting a free year anyway, so he could have played and kept his eligibility. 2) He would have probably played a lot in 2020 anyway because Trey Sanders was not 100% and 3) even more in 2021 with all the injuries we had. 4) Bama ended up winning a National championship and two conference championships that he had no part of whatsoever.

So no wonder he got rid of the rings because by now they look like reminders of bad choices and missed opportunities to me.

Did they bring in an expert to authenticate them and then offer him $300 for them after finding out the retail was $30k? You know because they always need room to make a profit

ETA- Ok I watched the video. $40k is WAY more than I thought you would get for one of those ring sets. And, yes, I think he was Robinson’s middle man but portrayed it this way so skirt the rules. If he got say 10% that’s worth the trip out there.
