Alabama picked up a commitment from the nation’s No. 1 overall prospect on Wednesday.
Cameron Robinson, a 5-star offensive tackle from West Monroe, La., committed to Alabama over LSU in a nationally-television press conference on ESPNU.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder is Alabama’s sixth commitment on the offensive line for this year’s recruiting class, which is ranked No. 1 in the nation yet again.
"Alabama's a great program," Robinson said. "Everytime I was able to get down to Tuscaloosa, I was able to sit down and talk with Coach Saban (and the assistants). I just developed a really strong relationship with them."
Robinson’s pledge may also help Alabama with the nation’s top prospect at running back, Leonard Fournette of New Orleans. Robinson and Fournette are buddies. They are rated No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the 247sports composite rankings.
In BYU, Georgia Tech will face a defense that is one of the toughest in the nation to score against and has a playmaking force in outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
Tailback J.J. Green said he can’t say for sure how many times he has heard “you’re one play away from playing” from Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and running backs coach Bryan McClendon.
Here is a clue that your trip to sunny south Florida may not be a carefree vacation: You’re a football team, and you lose one of your starters during warm-ups.
If nothing else, Georgia has ensured at least one thing about its season. Regardless of where the rest of the schedule takes them, whether its to an SEC championship, a BCS bowl bid or a national title, there will be no claims from outsiders that this team received too many breaks and escaped health issues, no suggestions that the road to success was lined with lollipops and unicorns.
