Recruiting Roundup: Baptism by fire -

Quote:

Making the cut: Shawn Robinson, a junior wideout from Stamford (Conn.) Trinity Catholic who's received letters from coast-to-coast, almost didn't wind up at the position he's currently being recruited at.

As a freshman living in Texas, he played defensive end. When he moved to Connecticut, he wanted to play defensive end, but he really didn't fit in a 3-5 scheme. So, the coach put him at linebacker and wideout.

"He was dropping everything in sight," his coach, Pete Stokes, admitted. "But at linebacker, he was chasing everyone down."

Robinson was almost moved to tight end because of his hands, but he asked his coach to just give him one offseason to improve. He promised he'd get better.

He practiced every day. Now, his coach said, he's making leaping grabs and catching everything in sight.

"He looked like a colt," Stokes said. "They come out of their mom, standing on their legs. And a little bit later, he starts to run. Soon, he's going to become a thoroughbred."
