I'm about to go on a soap box on this. First I love the University of Alabama. I went there and make as many trips as i can to go back. My family has gone there and will continue to go there. Having said that , I have an opportunity to go to Penn, Tulane, Cornell, etc right now based off my grades since I came back from Afghanistan. I also can go back to UA. My first choice is Penn ( #1 Business School in the entire country) If I'm blessed enough to get that option, I'm gone. You can't look at things from a 4 to 5 year ,but a lifetime. Stanford , Harvard , Penn, Cornell, and etc are life changing opportunities. He might get into the NFL and have a four year career then what ? Also , look at TO, Scottie Pippen, Mike Tyson, Wareen Sapp, what do they all have in common ? They made bad business decisions. Now they are struggling to get by. Andrew Luck has a Degree from stanford, when his playing days are done. He can make two six figure or more paying jobs at the same time. One as an analyst and the second owning his own Architect Firm. Now Emmons is struggling to get into Bama, does that also mean he's going to struggle to stay here ? Robinson has a better chance to stay at Stanford because his foundation is a lot better than Emmons. Also, they get tudors and study hall just like Bama. Also, 98% of their players graduate. You can get into any door with that kind of degree.Not to be negative, but good luck staying in Stanford, if you can barely get the SAT score to get in there. One of my good friends graduated from there, and he said in almost all classes, they give a certain percentage of the students certain grades, with about 20% in each class getting a D or F..... and he'll be going up again students that are as good in academics, as he is in football. Unless he wants to major in PE or something, which has no weight really in the business world....and he'll be spending most of his free minutes of the day with a tutor trying to make him survive academically.
Stanford is also known to have almost no good looking women, this is no joke. My buddy that went there, got pretty much straight A's, but he regrets going there because he said there were almost no good looking women.
I live in Cali in the meca of models and female hotties on the west side of Los Angeles, and saw a plethora of good looking, friendly ladies at the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa two years ago. Not that good looking ladies are everything, but when you are 19 years old, it certainly counts.
He should certainly keep these two things in consideration.
And how many national championships has Stanford participated in lately?
Bama will most likely win a National Championship at least every other year or so, with or without him (at least in the Saban era!).... but just saying.
All those players in the Nation Championship are celebrities to millions of people now, just because of that one game.
RTR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree. A degree from Stamford has a lot of cache. Don't blame the kid in the least for wanting to wait a few days to make a decision which will affect the next 3-4 years of his life. That being said, I'd love for him to come to Bama.
Agree 100%. The :conf2: in my other post mainly was for questioning if waiting past NSD would hurt him in coming to Bama if he chose us. If this kid is smart enough to go to Stanford, loves it and it is his choice, I wish him nothing but the best! A degree from Stanford is a WIN-WIN for a smart student athlete!I don't think this kid knew his potential until he transferred schools and got hooked in with people who showed him how well-rounded he was. The Stanford and Notre Dame stuff is a direct result of that. Kid would be a beast at ND or Stanford.
Sorry for the double post, but I have to give this a post a HUGE . There are plenty of young men who think with their brain and not the thing in their pants. Your post really irks me. #sorrynotsorryNot to be negative, but good luck staying in Stanford, if you can barely get the SAT score to get in there.

I had not heard about the cancellation but would not doubt it and don't think he is coming to Bama. In this article he says some good things about Bama but you can tell by the "maybe the schools not a fit for me" line he is going somewhere else. He says he knows we have some silent commits.Just saw some Notre Dame guy who writes for Scout say on twitter that this represents the 3rd cancelled official visit to Bama in the last 3 weeks...
Not sure whether he's trying to make somethin' outta nuthin...
I would rather him go to Stanford or Notre Dame than Georgia..It's time to move on from Robertson. Unless he doesn't score high enough , he's bent on Stanford or ND. the 3rd cancellation says it all.
Or Georgia Tech, best academic school in the South IMO..I would rather him go to Stanford or Notre Dame than Georgia..
That explains his interest in Georgia Tech, got it now. My son is a manager on the GT football team and keeps telling me about Robertson and how Tech has a great chance of beating Alabama for Robertson. All making sense now.Or Georgia Tech, best academic school in the South IMO..
tech is a very good school. does your son work with randy rhino? he is the team/athletic department chiropractor. he is a really nice guy. when i worked there, one of the benefits was being able to visit his office in the athletic department. he helped me get over a couple of running injuries.That explains his interest in Georgia Tech, got it now. My son is a manager on the GT football team and keeps telling me about Robertson and how Tech has a great chance of beating Alabama for Robertson. All making sense now.
Tech`s obviously an excellent school. Like Stanford, wouldn`t blame a kid for going there.That explains his interest in Georgia Tech, got it now. My son is a manager on the GT football team and keeps telling me about Robertson and how Tech has a great chance of beating Alabama for Robertson. All making sense now.
I appreciate your post. My son's first choice is Princeton of all places and we really want him to stay south. Florida and Alabama are in his top four so we still have a chance for that. I will just have to accept the fact that it is his choice and I want what is best for him and not me.I'm about to go on a soap box on this. First I love the University of Alabama.
