Louisville transfer RB commits to UNLV - big and fast. 6-2 220
Aidan Robbins commits
- Thread starter Rebel1986
- Start date
Spread the field with multiple WR...Force teams to play in nickle/dime defenses and gut with big RB...
I'm down.
I'm down.
I would love to see DL, DE and OL commits through the portal! These 3 areas are always a weak spot at UNLV. Both our O and D lines are often too small and we havent had consistent pass rush since Beau and Zach Bell. We need some of these recruits to be on both lines and some pass rushers would be truly exciting!
I thought D line played relatively well last year. But you're right games are still won and loss in the trenches.
Pass rush has been an issue for seemingly 20 years now..
It was better last year, but not where it needs to be to get us over the hump.
3 years of eligibility left, redshirted last year. Not used very much and dad has a chip on his shoulder over non use. He could be a good one for UNLV.
The sleeping giant is waking......Step by step come on Rebs!
Man I Hope So! CMA hasn't shown me much to get exited about maybe this will be the year.
LOL. Could be in for some entertaining tweets when he gets to town. Hopefully this guy ends up being legit. His physical numbers look really good, so hopefully his on field performance can match his gifts.
I guess that's just one of the things you have to navigate these days as a head coach. Look at the talent, as well as their people, and determine the whole risk/reward part. There's a reason that there are so many transfers every year though. Most are due to guys being down on the depth chart for whatever reason. Hopefully this one ends up being a high reward type of player. Maybe he can bring some of their OL and DL with him
Oh boy I see this as a train wreck waiting to happen with an obnoxious parent like that.
One thing we know about this kid is that he is really smart. He graduated from Louisville in 3 years, and he had offers from half of the Ivy League schools:
Offers from Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Penn and Dartmouth.
Also had offers from: Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Duke, Indian, Kentucky, Marshall, Miami (OH), Missouri, Ole Miss, Purdue, South Carolina, Toledo, and Vanderbilt.
As for why he didn't ever get a real chance to play, I have no clue? He had only two carries for 10 yards in 2020, and 2 carries in 2021 for 41 yards. Please explain to me how a player that averaged 20.5 yards per carry in 2021 never got another chance to carry the ball? My guess is he was black balled by the head coach!

Yeah, its hard to know why. Were there too many talented RBs on the team? Any discipline issues with him? Doesn't fit into the offense for some reason? Blackballed? Who knows
Considering the team had a losing record, I don't think too much talent was the issue! They didn't beat a single team with a winning record in 2020 and they didn't do much better in 2021. Both years they had a losing record. The QB was the leading rusher on the team with none of the other RB's really running the ball a lot.
Coach Arroyo appears to be a no nonsense coach. If the dad is a problem, he will put him in his place or keep him off the campus from day one!
Just because the kid is big and fast doesn't mean he's a player. He could very well be a softie. We will see, man...
The New England Patriots got a ton of players who are 6'0 tall and weigh a lot less than that playing offence and defence every year. NE Patriots is an NFL elite team every f*cking year that I can remember. The intangibles worth a whole lot more than the measurable...
Especially if the kid come with a baggage. Kick his ass out as soon as that baggage begin to open their mouth.
I would say the first Twitter post Poppa Robbins tweet about anything negative, kick his ass out.
Remember he redshirted and only played in four games, that was a coaching decision. He was also putting on a lot of weight and size during that time. Dad's frustrations are OK with me. He lives in Louisville, his son is on our team and should be a real asset. Dad wanted him to play more and now that he is in LV he let loose. So be it.

Sometimes you take a kid hoping that the relationship develops with the father who may have a lot of influence with recruits. Other times, you have to deal with a kid who went to 7 high schools and whose "support" system is doing him no justice.
I'm talking about two specific players here, but there's always something to consider with every recruit.
For a stud to come to UNLV there will be baggage. Arroyo has to judge each case and decide pros/cons. It will be interesting.
UNLV football isn’t in a position to deny talent. So long as it isn’t too far over the line.
My line is if the player is currently serving time.
If he is…
Will he get out in time to participate in Spring practices?
(This is sarcasm)
There is truth to all sarcasm, or something like that
Maybe I can interview his dad in the back of some Mechanic shop like I did Rocky Hinds.
Man, it’s been awhile since we had an Outspoken relative of the player.
Can’t wait for his future tweets.

Just making the bowl game is a success this year. Dont need to bend over for that with or without Robbins
