Care to elaborate, or link a story?*

Got arrested for disorderly conduct over the weekend in Starkville.

Thought he was overseas....Berlin

 

[KurtRambis4]

For some

reason, I don't see things working out well for him, in the future.

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I hope you're wrong as well. He seemed like a good kid that had to overcome more than most of us had or will have to.

Or is that just my Maroon colored glasses? I know his early, & rather abrupt, departure took us by surprise. But, did he get in any trouble as a student in Starkville?

 

[MaroonNation]

I can't think of anything he ever got in trouble for at State. He seemed to crave attention and affection, especially from Mullen. Considering what the poor kid had to go through though I don't blame him. He needed something stable in his life. I think while his talents were admirable he could be such a distraction that Mullen didn't try to talk him out of leaving. I hate it for him either way. He was awesome to watch.

I think he will be ok. I wish we knew the truth about why he left. We win the LSU game and maybe Texas A&M if he stays. Jrob should have been our number one recruit that spring.

The truth about why he left? Robinson was a 4th year collegiate player (don't forget that he redshirted in 2011) at the shortest lifespan position in football. He got drafted and made a lot of money last year even though he got cut from the roster at about week 12. He still has ample opportunity to make a roster, and even if he can't do that he can still make a lot of money in the short term as a scout teamer, in the CFL, or in Europe. I don't get why so many people thought he made the wrong decision. He would not have gotten drafted any higher if he stayed, but his career earnings as a pro player would have been significantly less if he had done so. No RB on any team that has even the slightest chance of being drafted and making money to play football is ever going to return for a 5th year of college football.

 

[dawgstudent]

If you play a down in the NFL - you made the right decision.

 

[rugbdawg]

Chances are very good that, if he stayed, he would have a degree, be the big

man on campus for another year, and be in as good, if not better, draft position. He would have set some records too. He may have gotten hurt but that's the only possible downside. He would not hurt his football lifetime earnings at all because he is a stretch to have a NFL career anyway. I.E. his career will end based on his lack of ability instead of his body breaking down. He is gonna need that degree. Hopefully, he will save enough cash to finish it.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah, I certainly don't

wish any ill will on him, and the only reason I make that prediction is that he seems extremely immature, and now he's out of football with no college degree.

Hopefully, he can catch back on somewhere, and grow up.
