Marcus Robinson Commits

Marcus Robinson de-committed from Texas Tech after his visit to Florida last weekend.  I think his main reason for committing to Texas Tech in the first place was the promotion of his uncle, Otis Mounds, to DB coach.  Roberson wants to win and compete at a high level, so I think he made a good decision to play in the SEC.  After Roberson de-committed, Auburn and Florida were competing for his signature.  Auburn was his favorite school before he committed to Texas Tech and I was not surprised to hear that he committed to play at Auburn this morning.  Auburn presents a better opportunity than Florida for Roberson.  He will be able to play earlier at Auburn because they are losing many starters.  At Florida, the return of Janoris Jenkins might have factored into his decision because he likely wouldn't have had the same opportunity.  Auburn is riding the national championship to a great recruiting class that includes OT Christian Westerman, ATH Quan Bray, TE Brandon Fulse, and now DB Marcus Roberson.  Auburn's Commit List is ranked as the 8th best class according to ESPN.
