As many of you know, the recruitment of highly touted Wooddale HS rb, Javon Robinson, has been the subject of several posts on this board re: him riding around town in a new Dodge sports car, approx $30,000, with Auburn flags flying on the auto. In fact, I was hosting several Memphis high school coaches during the Memphis Grizzlies playoff run and was staning in line, (yes, I stand in line!) at Second & Beale in front of Blues City Rest. when Javon approached the red light in the auto, much to the chagrin of the Memphis high school coaches present.
Well today, according to a most highly reputable source, the NCAA entered Wooddale with several folks investigating Javon Robinson. There's a rumor that some $135,000 was deposited in one individual's account and he wrote the check for the auto. The single parent mother had been telling folks she inherited $$$. Things are getting hot!
I'm supposed to know more this evening and if it's pertinent, interesting, I shall post. Now please, please, I have NO doubt about any of this but DON'T run to Tunica and bet that Auburn shall be given severe penalities as this is all second hand!
Yes, more opportunity to tarnish Memphis' well deserved reputation of paying $$$ to recruits. At least in this instance, the high school coaches weren't involved! Big Sam Henderson coaches at Wooddale and is clean as the driven snow. So is the head football coach, Keith Spann. Both great individuals, coaches, and deserving of positive accolades!
They told the young man he was stupid, wrong, to be driving around town with those Auburn flags blazing!
