Well at least we know good character isnât important too win. Congrats i guess.

HighViz · 01-15-2019, 03:04 PM

Iâm not a fan of how Robinson handled his commitment(s). However. This is for the best player, and he was. Itâs not about who keeps promises.

Willie Turnover · 01-15-2019, 04:24 PM

Red Rover Red Rover we dare Wandale back over.:biggrin:

Ok cool. Go Big Blue!

Hate when adults bash kids over college decisions. I spent a year at a college I hated that I went to because I felt pressure from parents to go there. Glad the kid is doing what makes him happy. I'm sure he'll be successful no matter where he goes.

Ghostofjoey · 01-15-2019, 05:52 PM

He is a great player. I know he rubbed some people about his committment but he is a worthy recipient. I even respect him for staying at WH. He could have easily transferred to a higher profile program but stuck with his team.

Lots of people with hurt feelings about Robinson going to Nebraska.

AnswertheBell · 01-15-2019, 07:25 PM

If I were as good as this kid Nebraska nor Kentucky would come close to the top of my list, but guess what it isn't about us. It is about the kid and if a kid feels that you have to go to Kentucky to win an award then that award is garbage anyway. He is smart to play the system however. A system that adults developed, good for athletes to win one. Best of luck Mr. Robinson.

WanDae is a great kid and he just turned 18 years old. Old people on here be hatin on him and questioning his character because he changed his mind.

🙄

***Westside*** · 01-15-2019, 09:42 PM

It's all big business. It's not like UK wouldn't have done what was in their best interest if circumstances were different. I hope he goes to Nebraska and is very successful.

Now FoSho I am an old person and I wish nothing but the best for the young man, but I wish he would have chosen Kentucky but itâs his choice not mine. You need to quit putting people in one class and believe they all think alike. He is a great athlete and deserved this award and he will always have my best wishes

I honestly donât think itâs about him âchanging his mindâ but more about his decision to declare for Kentucky during the Mr Kentucky voting period and then suddenly reversing course.

It just looked bad. Whether intentional or not

No it wasn't.

What wasnât? Intentional? Maybe not. I have no idea. But....I think virtually everyone would agree that the young man didnât really handle the situation the best.

I think it looks bad on the Mr. Football award committee. This type award and a criteria is you have to go to UK? I thought it was the best player? Rethink the award!

The traditional "Mr Football" was just awarded?!?! He didn't do it to win Mr Football. He did it because he was pressured into switching his commitment from Nebraska in the first place. Nothing more.

What character flaw has he shown, at all? Because he didnât go to your school of choice? Because a high school kid changed his mind about the most decision of his life? How dare he! Lol

And he made the right choice by the way. Scott Frost is going to get Nebraska back to relevancy.

How does it look bad on the award committee? They gave him the award. Which was deserved.

Bossdaddy 4115 · 01-16-2019, 06:41 PM

This is a topic that shouldnât be an issue. Do I like his decision nope, but He played to his level and has the right to play wherever he wants to. There isnât a poster on this thread that got him a yard, a touchdown, or a tackle so we donât have a say. So what he changed his mind, how many of us changed our mind 3 or 4 times in college about a major, did any of us get stoned to death because we changed our minds. Last but not least if he would have declared to Tennessee first and then said Nebraska would we be having this conversation.

MayfieldCardinal · 01-16-2019, 07:11 PM

Congrats to him but I wish he was gonna be a CAT!

No he isn't.

This isnât the kids faults itâs UKs fault! They have lost recruiting battles in their own state for decades. If Nebraska was the right spot for this kid then thatâs where he needed to go play at for him. Uk needs to look in the mirror and figure out why kids from trinity have went to places like Ohio state and other big ten schools over the years.

AnswertheBell · 03-07-2019, 03:08 PM

Let weigh the options....Ohio State/Kentucky.....Get my point. Kentucky will never out recruit OSU and schools like them.
