Safety Gavin Robertson: 6'3 225 Arizona Transfer Signs

[IntuitiveGriz]

New linebackers coach Scott Boone and “Mike” linebacker Brandon Rutt are working with Robertson on his hand usage, positioning and recognition. Boone likes what he has seen so far.

“That’s what they’re supposed to look like,” Boone said. “He’s big, he’s physical, he’s very athletic. It’s my job to make sure he knows what to do.”

=====================================================================

UM should take as many of these guys, "...big, physical...very athletetic." as they can get. :clap:

Huh? Why the clapping? I thought you thought everyone who moved from one school to another, or from a Pac-12 school, was unsuccessful and not good enough for Montana.

Stop thinking, do everyone a favor.

At AZ, he was moved to Will LB during 2017 spring practice.

Why is he transferring? Lack of playing time at Arizona?

Well, it is hot down there for a WA guy.

Lot of talk about the safety position and no mention of McGinnis. Don't overlook the kid. He's a fast, smart athlete with decent size.

I am with ya, I am high on McGinnis from Sidney. He is fast, athletic and has some height. Going to be great probably. But you know most of Egriz, they don't know shit until they see it on TV.

The only reason I haven't mentioned him in this thread is because he is just going to be RS-FR. He will see the field. And he will be good. But because he will be so young it will obviously be his weakest of his 4 years of live action, so that's the only reason I pumped the brakes. Going to be a good one though! :clap:

I am sure Griz90 knows this, but for others on the board: McGinnis is an athlete

I like the move, hopefully we can get both honestly. Would help fill the ranks and add some instant competition. Assuming Sandry can get over the ankle injury that kind of plagued him all last season and Epperly can take that next step as a senior, I think our starting duo is good, not amazing at this point, but workable. The depth though is totally unknown.

With Robertson, possibly Putney, and maybe even Richardson coming back that gives some soph/junior guys in that group that will help with depth, possibly even get a rotating or permanent starter, or at the minimum help big time on ST.

Still waiting on Jerrin Williams...did that die on the vine?

 

[IntuitiveGriz]

Yeah, this (kid) works: Beast

UM appears to be addressing the weakness on this team with the additions of Hauck and Robertson.

Not dead yet....he's trying to get back. Not sure of other details or what the hold up may be

Wasn't this kid committed here at some point his senior year? Maybe Stitt just offered him, but I thought he might have been committed before Arizona offered

Found this. You’re right...
(not a commitment, but an offer)

[AllWeatherFan]

Yep, here are the eGriz references to the offer and his commitment to Arizona: http://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70230&p=1065657&hilit=gavin+robertson&sid=3c6c9b79b98049398aa8b69b1350acde#p1065657

Too soon to call this kid the "Mountain View Missile" ??? he seeks and destroys in that video!

 

[krammer]

so what is the scoop as to why Robertson left Az. and coming to Missoula ?

He wants to win championships!

I get the feeling he did not like the more to LB... but just a guess.
