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.
