Wow, why announce this Friday if he is going to Bama? Can you imagine the crap he's going to have to take during his senior year in high school? Most people are understanding, but there's always going to be the arse who will say or do something really dumb because he spurned the home school. I really hope he knows what he's doing. Pick LSU and make the BOOT proud!

Cam is announcing now out of respect for LSU. Some recruits can be asses and completely classless and string a university along. Cam is telling LSU to move on and find someone else out of respect. He's not waiting until NSD and making LSU think they have a shot with him. He's going to Bama. That's just my opinion.

I think hes going to LSU. He should realize that it doesnt matter what school you go to to get you in the NFL. Number 1 pick was from Central Michigan i mean cmon. I know there is a good chance he picks bama but im still holding out hope for LSU because of his relationships with home state players.

It's gonna be Bama. Really surprised by the announcement, and had no idea how serious the Sims-Robinson package was.

accept the possibility of the worst. But one question I haven't seen asked (though, to be fair, I've only read the last 8 or 10 pages of this thread) that might bear thinking about. I don't want to get any LSU fan's hopes up but...

...if he's all set to make his Big Announcement (a magical time in any elite future millionaire football player's life) on Friday, why the frick would he tip his hand by following those Bama coaches? It makes no sense in any straightforward interpretation. It's not like they'll be able to tweet anything specific about him until he signs the dotted line, and I seriously doubt they'll have any earthshattering reactions to his commitment either way. There's just no reason for him to follow them now even if he's Bama-bound. He seems like a reasonably decent and presumably reasonably intelligent kid, so there's no point in bothering. I suppose he could be trying to ease LSU fans into their disappointment, but if that's the case, he might as well have waited til Friday and done it all at once, since if following the coaches was a signal, it's really no better than just making the announcement immediately. The only ways any of this makes sense are: 1) he's trolling Bama; or 2) he just decided to follow them because of Sims (didn't someone say he followed Napier as well as Cristobal? Both would be relevant.) The latter strikes me as one of the more likely explanations.




I think you're looking too deep into someone following people on Twitter.

I honestly cannot believe so many people think sims is the deciding factor for CRob.

Does it just make y'all feel better about losing him when you claim it's because he was a package deal?

That's horseshite. He's been all bama for months, even when sims didnt have a legit offer, and all the BS about lsu making up ground was to keep pressure off him.

Shows forced his hand or Saban told him on his last visit to go public.

He may have been telling people he goes back and forth daily but he knew deep down he was goin to bama and has known for a long time.

The day he tweeted kroy about making the decision that was best for his family is all I needed to read.

If Cam and Cam are really a package deal and Cam S. knows where Cam R. is going..why isnt Cam S. trolling on twitter about Cam R.'s recent announcement?? Wouldnt that be his chance to bring more attention to it and troll like he really doesnt know?? The silence from Cam S. makes me think either he really doesnt know or he knows its LSU which gives him no reason to celebrate the announcement..am I putting too much into this??

ETA: Somethin else to think about..he said he'd have the time and place tomorrow which means he plans on announcing this publically/locally..usually public/local announcements are good for the home team imo..who wants to commit and hear a bunch of boos from friends and family??

None of that matters. McKnight announced in front if a full gym.

CRob was recruiting David Cornwell months ago about protecting his blindside at bama.

It's been a done deal and any pro lsu pics or news was done to keep pressure off him.

Why do you assume that he wants to troll people?

1) You really think his family would boo him?

2) His friends wouldn't boo him either. People he's known his whole life, but he isn't friends with? Sure, but I doubt he cares what they think anyway.

The deciding factor is that Robinson has been Bama bound for a long time. It's looking like that Sims accelerated things though.

This guy is a gigantic 5* defensive tackle. I don't think he's worried about anyone saying anything to him.

This is a sad statement.

I am not saying it is incorrect or that you are wrong for saying it.

But, I find the message to be a pitiful thing.

I hope my meaning is clear that it is not a statement of you, the poster.
