Jeremy Robinson commits to ISU

Romar, Tornado, and others thanks for all the insight.

scout-
the Pantagraph article says Jeremy was being recruited a year ago by Porter Moser and Moser even got Jeremy to ISU for a visit.
If that be the case, why didn't anyone list ISU as recruiting Robinson until recently, and very few list ISU even now?

By the way, I found another report by Dan Poneman' s site,
by Cavan Walsh.....the same guy who wrote yesteerday's article:

"Jeremy Robinson ???‚¬??? Recovering from knee surgery 3-4 weeks ago. He???‚¬?„?s very anxious to get on the court again this summer and didn???‚¬?„?t wear a brace, but rumor has it that he will not be near 100% until November-December."

That's probably accurate.

In my opinion this is all a moot point. By the time he gets to playing at ISU, he will be 18 months give or take removed from the surgery and should be at or near 100%. So whether he is or is not physically capable of playing now it doesn't matter. By all accounts he will be able to play for his senior year and be a major factor in his team's success and then be able to compete for playing time right away as a freshman at ISU. Everything else is really immaterial at this point. He just needs to focus on his rehab, get stronger and have a good senior year. Then hopefully he is a big part of the Redbird resurgence in Valley basketball.

I gotta think, looking ahead, that a commit like this can only help the 'Birds with Kenyon Smith or other prospects. Good players want to play with other good players.

you'd have to ask them. I also expect Robinson to drop from a Scout 3-star to a 1 star after a verbal to 'mid-major' ISU. Conversely he would have been a 4-star if he verballed to Iowa or somewhere like that.

I tore my lateral meniscus many many moons ago. I SUSPECT I also damaged my ACL but it was never "caught". My knee has never been 100% since so I had a MRI recently.

I have NO ACL... :-o :-o :-o . It could have been a birth defect but I suspect it was when I tore the meniscus.

Anybody bored yet :lol:

My point is it hasn't stopped me from my athletic endeavors one bit although the fellows at the home have stated they don't see near the balance or explosion I used to have during our daily shuffle board battles.

I was wondering what the ladies in your mud wrestling league have to say! LOL

Funny I've tried to make that same point about Shumpert if he ends up signing with BU. How far he might fall from a 5 star.

Here is the best example:

Jenniro Bush was a 4-STAR recruit when he was being recruited by the likes of Arkansas and Illinois last spring....
then he committed to Jackson State- a low major...or possibly not even that high!

NOW he is a 2-STAR!!

There is strong rumor coming out of Carbondale that a once-ISU recruit is done due to his ACL injury.

Chris Cornelius, who tore his ACL last fall, is thinking seriously of hanging it up as he is already nearly a year into his recovery and rehab, and unable to do much more than light drills.

Cornelius was recruited by ISU, among others, then he went out east to prep school. After that year, Cornelius signed with SIU and then redshirted his first year.
Just as his 2nd year began he tore his ACL.
He must not be ready to play this year.

This makes the several of the highly touted prep kids from Brewster (Cem Dinc, Dodie Dunson, Chris Cornelius) who just didn't pan out right away.


In an eerie way, there is a real odd pun in this report on Chris Cornelius when he committed to SIU out of Brewster...

"Southern Illinois had offered way back in the fall,???‚¬?? Brewster coach Jason Smith said. ???‚¬?“Chris was always interested, but he didn???‚¬?„?t want to make a knee-jerk reaction.???‚¬??

I think that Jeremy was stretching the truth on his list of reported offers. I don't think Iowa State had an offer on the table and I doubt some of the other reported offers he had as well. I know Iowa State was recruiting him at one time, but I don't think they ever offered him at any point.

Hey Danny

Hey Danny

Hey Danny,
I am NOT a fan but my gut feeling (as before)
is that we will both be better. You might got on the
the CB and tell all the truckers that the war on 74
is coming back. We're loaded. You're loaded. Let's
get er going.
Danny, my friend, we love Ya but we hate Ya.
It's better to split with ISU than to be swept by
Missouri State.
I still hope we sweep ya, but it sets you on
a run for 6 straight,,. Time will tell.....
