4-star CB Ellis Robinson IV set to visit Alabama
New Haven (Conn.) IMG Academy four-star cornerback Ellis Robinson IV will be at Alabama this weekend for the Crimson Tide’s highly-anticipated game against Texas A&M.
Robinson is currently the No. 7 overall player in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also the No. 6 recruit in the 2024 On300 ranking.
His IMG Academy teammate and five-star cornerback Desmond Ricks is the only player at cornerback ranked ahead of him in the country.
He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $138k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
The Crimson Tide are the current On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine favorites to land Robinson at 62.2%.
But his recruitment is far from over as there are many schools after the elite cornerback. Georgia is one of them, and the Bulldogs have been doing a great job recruiting Robinson.
“I feel like I’m a priority there,” Robinson told On3. “It feels like home over there. It’s been great hearing from them.”
RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college.
It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.
