Robbie Beran's mother liked the Tribe Athletics tweet about Jimmye on Monday, so, there is still some family attention being paid to what's going on in the 'Burg.
I have a big bias here because Robbie plays his HS ball for where I played my bball a long time ago. He transferred in late from public schools, as I did. I'm sure he will embrace his senior year as captain, as I did. Last year they had the best school record in 45 years. It wasn't 46 years because that was my senior year. Remains to be seen if he'll best that. I know Tony has been involved long before we offered, and I know the quality mindset of the school and his peers.
It would take a rare mindset to not succumb to all of the big program attention and potential, and rightfully so. I won't bet my marbles (because I don't have many anyway), but until it's official, I'll keep that thread intact.
I was set to go to GA Tech for engineering, but found I couldn't afford it. I was then headed for VA Tech engineering, until my point guard told me I needed to go to W&M because I'd have more social life. LOL. I bought in sight unseen, and despite the foolery, it was the best decision of my life. I can't share commonalities and insights with Robbie because of potential recruiting violations, but I would hope coaching staff quality/security, being close to home but just far enough away, the chance to be part of a pending program breakthrough, but more importantly, this being one of the truly best places in the country to spend four years and learn while still pursuing any professional dreams, would find a way to resonate through all of the noise. If you're reading, Robbie, give it your consideration. There was a reason you were the only offer Tony put out there early on. I'm glad I made that decision.
