2015 PG Justin Robinson Will Announce Commitment on October 12th
Marcus Helton of DMVElite.com was the first to report that 2015 point guard recruit Justin Robinson was down to a final 4 and would make his announcement on October 12th. The final 4 will be the 4 schools where he will have taken official visits: Maryland, Providence, UNLV and Virginia Tech. Robinson had previously been scheduled to visit Creighton this past weekend but cancelled the visit on September 22nd after Creighton got a commitment from another 2015 point guard.
The significance of the October 12th date is that is the day Robinson turns 17. This means his announcement will come nearly a full week after his final visit to UNLV finishes on October 4th. There have been rumors swirling that Robinson is essentially down to two schools: Providence and Virginia Tech. Providence has been recruiting Robinson the longest of any of the 4 remaining coaching staffs and was the first high major to offer the left handed lead guard back in February of this year. Virginia Tech was Robinson’s first official visit back over Labor Day weekend while Providence had Robinson on campus from September 19th through the 21st along with 2015 commits Ryan Fazekas and Drew Edwards.

After last weekend’s flurry of visitors Ed Cooley and his staff didn’t sit at home and rest on their laurels. Cooley and his staff were spotted all over the country this past week checking in on future prospects in 2016 and 2017 but also making a point to be seen by primary 2015 target Justin Robinson. To see where the staff was this week, check out the site feature called “Where is Ed Cooley and the staff?” which is linked at the top of the page on the menu bar.

2015 PG Recruit Justin Robinson No Longer Visiting Creighton
Creighton had offered three point guards in the last month leading up to Justin Robinson’s scheduled visit to Omaha for the weekend of September 26th. One of those offers was handed out to 2015 Marlon Stewart while Stewart was on an official visit to Creighton on September 20th. On Monday he announced his commitment to the Blue Jays. There was some discussion that Creighton may view Stewart as more of a combo guard and that they may still be pushing hard for Robinson but that either isn’t the case or Robinson wasn’t buying that as Roundball Rundown Report Director & East Coast Contributing Editor for NY2LA Corey Evans reported that Robinson would no longer visit Creighton this weekend as previously scheduled.
It’s unclear if Robinson will try to add a 5th visit to his docket with UNLV currently scheduled to now be his 4th official visit on October 3rd. Before setting his five official visits Robinson had cut his list to 6 schools with Temple not making the official visit cut. So far Robinson has visited Virginia Tech, Maryland and Providence.
More details may be revealed in the coming days. Stay tuned here and on Twitter at @pcbb1917.

#pcbb Weekly Recruiting Update 9/19/14
After the last couple of weeks being pretty quiet after the commitment of 2015 guard Drew Edwards this upcoming weekend is a big one in Friartown. Not only will Edwards be taking his official visit to Providence this weekend but he will be joined by the first player to commit to Ed Cooley in the class of 2015, Ryan Fazekas. But the most important visitor this weekend and a player that Edwards and Fazekas will try to help recruit is 2015 point guard recruit Justin Robinson. This will be Robinson’s 3rd official visit with the first two being at local schools Virginia Tech and Maryland. Robinson plans to take his other two visits after this weekend in Providence but Ed Cooley and the Friar Faithful are hoping that Robinson will give Cooley a commitment before returning home on Sunday.
