Second thoughts

CRETE, Neb. - When Rivals top 100 offensive lineman Trevor Robinson committed to Nebraska back in April, the Omaha (Neb.) Elkhorn product said he was done with the recruiting process.

The 6-foot-6, 300 pound Robinson picked the Huskers over offers from Notre Dame and Michigan, but on Tuesday Robinson informed HuskersIllustrated.com that both the Irish and Wolverines are now back in the picture.
At this point, Robinson said he still considers himself a Nebraska commit, but he wants to reconfirm his decision to NU by taking unofficial visits to both South Bend and Ann Arbor later this month.
"I'm not a de-commit," Robinson said from his dorm room at the Doane College lineman camp in Crete. "At this point I still consider myself a Husker and I want to be a Husker.
"The only thing I want to do is reconfirm I made the right decision, so that's why I'm considering taking unofficial visits to both Notre Dame and Michigan again."
Robinson said informed Nebraska offensive line coach Dennis Wagner of his decision to potentially take unofficial visits to Notre Dame and Michigan on Monday night.
Robinson said it was very hard for him to talk with Wagner on Monday and to tell him the news that he may be reconsidering his commitment.
"That was the hardest part by far," Robinson said. "I've always been excited to play for him, and I'm still excited to play for him.
"I just have some second thoughts right now, and I just want to look one last time at Notre Dame and Michigan to feel better about the decision I made."
Robinson said in the past 24 hours his cell phone has blown up, and this is something he never thought he'd have to go through in the recruiting process.
"This is really stressful," Robinson said. "Like I said, I am not a de-commit from Nebraska and I still plan to go to Nebraska. I just want to look things through and make sure I made the right decision."
Robinson said he hasn't set up unofficial visit dates with Notre Dame and Michigan yet, but he plans to iron out all the details with his father after he leaves the Doane lineman camp.
"If I visit Notre Dame and Michigan, it will be sometime in the next two weeks," Robinson said. "I still need to get things figured out more and talk with my dad before I say for sure when the visits will be."
