I have heard from a good source that Corey Robinson of Lone Oak has committed to Troy, choosing them over Ole Miss and Arkansas.

WOW! Chose Troy over 2 SEC schools? Congrats to him and best of luck.

Wow...

Are we sure Corey was offered full scholarships by Ole Miss and Arkansas?

Good question. Does Troy University/college/whatever have ties to Kentucky? I think I read on BGP that a former Kentucky coach was at Troy.

Troy has been on Robinson for some time. The original plan was for him to go there as a grayshirt, but that was before Tony Franklin went to Auburn and Chris Todd switched his commitment from Troy to Auburn. Troy's new offensive coordinator is former Kentucky receiver Neal Brown, who was promoted from within the offensive staff.

Neal Brown that played at Boyle County?

Isn't this the school where John Schlarman is an assistant at? He went to Highlands and then was All SEC at UK, before coaching Campbell Co. and Newport.

Neal Brown that played at Boyle County?

 

Yep.

I pose the same question.

I believe he was offered by Ole Miss and Mississippi State, but that Arkansas quit recruiting him when Nutt left!

After Nutt took the Ole Miss job, the Rebels were looking at Robinson. Memphis and Louisville took a look but apparently decided to go in another direction. The only other school that may have been a factor in the end was Mississippi State, but I don't know if they were planning to make an offer or not.

 

Robinson apparently feels the spread offense (the Franklin system) that Troy runs suits him and gives him a better chance to play early in his career than he would have had at Ole Miss.

I wonder if that'll change now that Franklin is no longer there?

I see this kid at church and he's always playing with his hair, I swear it has to be a nervous tick as much as he does it lol
