Penn State had a productive first official go to weekend, nevertheless it wasn’t all excellent news as Florida cornerback Semajay Robinson decommitted from Penn State and flipped to UVA.
Robinson was the primary dedication within the 2027 class after Matt Campbell took over, and he now turns into the primary decommit for Matt Campbell within the 2027 class too. How enjoyable. Anyway, Robinson formally visited Penn State over the weekend whereas he’s been within the midst of visiting different colleges. He visited UVA final weekend, and was scheduled to go to Mississippi State and USF the next two weekends. So I think about there was going to be some readability popping out of this weekend regardless: Robinson would both keep within the PSU class and cease with the opposite visits, or he’d name off his verbal dedication and determine what to do subsequent. And though issues appeared to be going swimmingly…
…the love didn’t final. Robinson flipped to the Hoos on Tuesday morning, with Virginia Tech followers appearing like they received the lottery as a result of the earlier establishment of their present head coach misplaced a commit to their “rival” faculty.
Virginia Tech Franklin-erotica apart, what does this imply for Penn State? Well, will depend on your perspective. Semajay Robinson is a really gifted prospect, however he’s a little bit of a challenge and you may see that along with his rankings. Rivals has him as a four-star and ranked the 255th participant within the nation. 247 has him as an 86 three-star and the 117th ranked nook — not participant general, simply nook. So two tremendously various opinions, however that is sensible given Semajay archetype. While Penn State and cornerbacks coach Terry Smith clearly noticed one thing they appreciated with Robinson, they nonetheless do have three corners within the class and are scheduled to *formally* host Texas prospect Dillon McGee this weekend.
