2014 7 footer Legend Robertin has just picked up an offer from Marquette.

Does anyone know anything about this kid?

Buzz was recruiting also when he was at MU

Big, raw, pretty quick, shot blocker

I thought he had an offer for a while. Did you see something that indicated he received a recent offer?

I'm thinking that you're looking at something pretty old from back when Buzz was still making the offers.

I noticed earlier this week that he was still uncommitted. ESPN lists Tex Tech, Tex A&M, Coastal Caroline, ME,Wichita, and GW besides MU. 24/7 lists only MU and indicates that the kid has a "cool" (low) level of interest. Jeez, he is 7 feet tall - with that rating you'd think there would be more interest.

He enrolled at Chipola. Looked like he was going judo and then 3 years at a place after 2015. That was last I heard.

Here's the scouting report on him from ESPN recruiting page. Surprised a big man that is ranked this highly according to scouts is still on the board this late in the recruiting season, but I'm all for him, sounds like a solid prospect.

4 Star - Scouts Grade of 80

Strengths:
Robertin is a long athletic post that is mobile. He has a good motor and runs the floor well. He has good hands and feet as well. Robertin is an above the rim finisher on the break and when he receives drop off passes created by dribble penetration. He rebounds well and blocks shot on or away from the ball. He touch is not bad and he can execute a right handed hook over his left shoulder. Robertin plays hard with good energy and urgency as well.

Weaknesses:
Robertin will need to continue to add strength and continue to develop his back to the basketball offense in order to take his game to the next level. He must also continue to get into game shape.

Bottom Line:
Robertin is an athletic post that patrols the lane. He defense is ahead of his offense at this stage of his game but has the touch and potential to be a good offensive player as well. Robertin has high major size and athletic ability and his upside is tremendous.

I like his parents' optimism.

Bottom Line section = raw.

Kid is originally from England. Was playing at Believe Prep Academy last December when Buzz offered. Believe is a basketball only boarding school located in a house in Rock Hill, SC. In a past post, IIRC, Sultan mentioned that it didn't have the best reputation. Here's a promo for them on YouTube, house looks like it could use some paint.

This could be an example of the type of Buzz recruit that was causing some concern with the administration.

ESPN doesn't like to edit their stuff before posting apparently. Back to the basketball offense could be better? Interesting. I wonder how many people dominate offensively with their back to the basketball. Also, he defense is ahead of his offense? Nice.

Best part of the video was the part where the "Advanced Math" textbook (among others) looked like it was being used to prop up shoe boxes above the washing machine in the laundry room.
