Alabama fans on other boards are in love with him and act as if he is already on their roster FWIW.

Seems like they're right. Which sucks bc he is a beast. The rich get richer. And him being from Tennessee (kind of) just makes it that much worse

Yeah, but may be they can hand it off to 3 different 5 stars in the same game. :cray:

Very rarely see that happen. RBs generally want to get in a flow. Splitting carries between 3 backs wouldn't allow that to happen. Besides with their O-line rich in 5 star athletes, you could put the towel boy in the backfield and he could average 100 yards a game.

LSU made it work for a couple years. It is kinda weird though.

Don't get why a JUCO RB would ever consider Bama under Saban.

Because he's the best used car salesman alive for RBs. If the kid would do his research & talk to guys who have fell to the wayside, he might reconsider. Then again, if he wants 10 carries or less per game then he's fine there.

He should go to Bama since he will not be able to flunk out there. Nobody does.

They do an unreal job with academic support with their football players. Still though, they've had some real water heads flunk out.

From his head coach, Bert Williams:
“Jovon has the size you want, good long speed, is very powerful, shows great balance and we really have not tapped into his receiving ability because we have not had to, Williams said. “I think one of the most undervalued and unexpected quality in Robinson is that he has a strong sense of humility. There is not a lot of celebration from him; he is a very-focused, hard-working young man that shows up on time, gets his reps to and lets you know when he is hurting or absolutely needs rest. He is a fun guy to coach, not just because he is an outstanding player, but because in many ways he has been very easy to coach, and that has been enjoyable. “ “If you had to pick a top group right now, Alabama, Georgia, Florida State….TCU may have a chance in there and Tennessee has some strong interest in there and has a chance,” said Williams. “Those are the main ones.”

Also from 247:
"Last year, Robinson ran for 2387 yards and 34 rushing touchdowns, the most ever in a single season in NJCAA history. His 204 points scored and 34 touchdowns are tied for the most ever in a single season. Robinson helped GMC to an undefeated 11-0 regular season record, including four wins over schools ranked in the top five, and was named the NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year for his efforts."

Some of these kids are now more willing to play in a RB by committee system especially with the longevity factor in the NFL. With Yeldon and Drake probably gone, he would have a great opportunity to get a good amount of carries with Henry. Scarbrough will be a factor but I think they will use him in a variety of roles on offense and not have him carry so often because of his history of being injured. Base on what I hear, Jones will be a bigger factor going forward as well.
