📝 Any chance with Demetrius Robertson?

And let me help @planomateo out a little. Demaryius Thomas and Stephen Hill did half decent in that offense, both made it to the NFL. Their total yards may not jump off the page, but the YPR does, and who needs 90 catches a year when you're going for 25 yards per catch. Only need 4-5 catches to hit the century mark each game if you follow their trend.

Heck, I hope he spurns them both and heads to Tuscaloosa. I have no doubt he'll get utilized here for sure.
 
Robertson has signed his third, THIRD, financial aid agreement ... this time with UGA. He's signed one with Cal and Ga Tech.

Class of 2016 five-star wide receiver prospect Demetris Robertson didn't decide where he'll play college football on National Signing Day in February, electing to carry out the recruiting process a bit longer.

Coming off a visit to Georgia this weekend, one of Robertson's family members told Dawgs247 that Roberson has signed a financial aid agreement with the Bulldogs. Georgia is the third school with which Robertson has signed a financial aid agreement, Georgia Tech and Cal being the other two.

The financial aid agreements are binding for the school — meaning they have to offer Robertson a scholarship if he elects to play for them — but unlike the common National Letter of Intent, Robertson is not bound by either of the three agreements. He can choose one of those three schools, or a fourth, different school altogether. A former Alabama commitment, Robertson also has Crystal Ball predictions for Notre Dame, Georgia, the Crimson Tide and Stanford.
IF you recall, LSU ended up dealing with some minor sanctions for signing a player with an FAA, continuing to contact him only to have him sign with the Tide. It makes me wonder if GT or Cal is making the same mistake.

Demetris Robertson's cryptic Instagram post screams Alabama
With decision day looming for Demetris Robertson,
the nation's top wide receiver in the 2016 class raised some eyebrows on Saturday when he posted this photo on Instagram with the caption "views 4.29.16", a possible inclination into his final choice.

Robertson took official visits to Alabama, Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Notre Dame, and signed financial aid agreements with Cal, Georgia, and Georgia Tech. The decision is likely coming down to Cal, Georgia, and Notre Dame according to GoDawgs247 analyst Kipp Adams.

Peering into Robertson's 247Sports Crystal Ball, industry experts expect the Savannah, Ga., native to sign with his home state Bulldogs, giving Kirby Smart yet another weapon to utilize on offense during his first season in Athens.

Cal Berkley shorts, Georgia bracelet, family in Alabama. All over the place.
 
The announcement date for five-star wide receiver Demetris Robertson (Savannah, Ga./Savannah Christian) has changed. The 5-11, 175-pound senior, considered the No. 1 prospect in the 2016 class, will now publicly commit to either Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech or Notre Dame on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Robertson took official visits to Alabama, Cal, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Notre Dame. California, Georgia, and Notre Dame are considered the three favorites to land the U.S. Army All-American.

Notre Dame associate head coach and wide receivers coach Mike Denbrock touched base with Robertson and his family on Monday. Cal and Georgia are expected to do the same this week. Georgia was the last program to get Robertson on campus, and they were the only school to host both his mother and his twin sister, along with his brothers Michael and Carlos, his legal guardian. Robertson is also expected to visit Georgia one last time on Saturday evening, following the state sectional track meet at nearby North Oconee High School (Bogart, Ga.). Since the deadline to sign an NLI passed on April 1, Robertson will not be bound to any program until he enrolls and shows up on campus for classes this summer.
 
I had the privilege of taking classes at Stanford before starting CAL for my Masters in Public Health. No real difference in academics. Both campuses are beautiful and loaded with a LOT of beautiful educated women! The academics are no joke at CAL, but as long as he is determined then it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, that degree carries some weight nationally and has opened a lot of doors for me in the medical field. Congrats to the young man! Smart decision.
 
You're right about that @BamaMD, both beautiful campuses. I've been on both campuses a few times and I think I prefer the vibe of Berkeley over Stanford.

I agree, Berkeley has a better vibe and isn't so preppy. I'm currently looking to get my MBA and I'm torn between Vanderbilt and going back to Berkeley. There are no words to describe the Bay Area and all it has to offer. The only thing keeping me from moving there permanently is the traffic and cost of living.

Yup, no way I'd live there - way too expensive and the traffic is a huge deal breaker for me. I wouldn't have the quality of life I have in Texas...but then again, it's getting silly here in North Dallas. All the big companies moving into the area are triggering housing prices to increase at stupid rates. Housing has gone up close to double compared to 10 years ago. We have no state income tax, but property taxes of ~2.5% and property values are going up at ridiculous rates every year.

My property taxes are going up a maximum of 10% this year (~$900). If the appraisal districts has their way, they'd be going up 15%, but since we have a homestead exemption cap of 10%, they can't get the other 5% they want. Not to mention insurance here is expensive due to weather related claims. I'm outta Texas once my kids are in or done with college (~10 years). I'm ready for a slower and more relaxed pace of life.

What part of the country are you planning on living in? I would use this to help decide on which University to get my MBA from, I would imagine there are more Vanderbilt MBA's in the South East vs Cal MBA's, so it might open doors a little easier.
