5-star CB Ellis Robinson IV sets commitment date

Not long ago, Ellis Robinson IV trimmed his list to five schools. Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, LSU and Miami made the cut. He is ready to narrow that list to one.

“I am going to announce my commitment on Feb. 1,” Robinson told On3. “I have thought about it a lot. It is time. I took the visits I need to take, I have looked at my options and I am ready. I know where I want to go. It will come out soon.”

Robinson said his decision came down to “relationships”. That pushed one school to the top for the No. 2 prospect in the On300.

“I am big on family. That was something I was looking for in a school. I have found that. With all five schools on my list, I created some strong relationships, but at one school, it is different. It has that family feeling to it. At that school, it is not just the relationships with the coaches, but with the players and the people around the school. The feeling around the people at that school is different for me.”

Robinson visited Miami over the weekend. he was at Georgia on Jan. 14. He’s visited each finalist other than Colorado.
