RB Xavier Robinson Commitment Watch

[MyNameEhJeff]

Again, context. Was Bob Stoops, a lifetime defensive coordinator, doing a lot with the offense?

You’re right, instead of giving credit to Bob Stoops who consistently put RBs into the league over his 17 years as the HC regardless of who the OC was, we should instead give credit to Mike Leach, Chuck Long, Kevin Wilson, Josh Heupel, Jay Norvel, and Lincoln Riley lol.

How stupid of ISU to fire Tom Manning who put 3 RBs into the NFL in 6 years

Would love to see us get Xavier Robinson and Titus Cram in this class. Our RB room is a little thin right now and I think we could use two RBs in this class

Deal.

I thought his commitment timeline on 247 was a bit fishy. Says he’s hoping to commit by the end of June, after some official visits—including a trip to Ames.

Assuming Jirehl doesn’t use his COVID year for some reason, that leaves us with Eli Sanders, Cartevious Norton, AJ Harris, Abu Sama and Carson Hansen.

Also assuming that Sanders doesn’t have a monster year and go pro.

I wouldn’t expect Robinson to redshirt, so I guess that leaves room for Cram if he is willing to.

Umm, not to mention a certain potential ‘25 recruit……….

Inexperienced would’ve been a better word to use than “thin.”

I’m not sure what your last sentence means. These are ‘24 recruits

For those thinking he wouldn't play meaningful snaps at OU, watch the kid's film. Eerily similar to Breece Hall's HS film. And Breece would have been RB1 at every school in the country.

I see the comparison, but what struck me at first was a similarity to Jim Brown. That speed and physicality.

And then Brown passed away…and I’m still seeing the similarity in all the highlights posted of that legend’s career.

Except the TOE, he would have been 4th string.

@Aclone Once again, can you stop with these “commitment watch” threads and just wait until they commit? You miss more than you hit on them. He’s OU bound.

As long as you stop with the ridiculous NFL draft rumors.

OU bound? I think we are actually in the lead right now.

Osen put up a crystal ball to OU today. I’m not in the know either way.

We were until OU decided to aggressively go after him after his ISU OV. Now they're likely gonna get the hometown kid.

Hard for a guy to not go with his hometown team who puts RBs in the NFL better than anyone. Especially when the RB coach is Demarco Murray.

OU probably doesn't feel great about landing one of their top RB targets out of TX so now they're after this guy.

OU has about five top RB prospects they seem to value above Xavier.

Titus Cram?

Titus Cram?

 

[mitchforcy]

Titus Cram?

Titus Cram?

Maybe on Defense. I don't think he's a starting B12 running back.

Probably why he has not committed yet. Nice to be recruited by the blue bloods but if u are stuck behind a bunch of guys it’s not worth it
