After the weekend revelation that four-star recruit James Robinson was cited for marijuana possession while on an official visit to Ohio State earlier in January, it was initially reported that the Florida Gators would continue recruiting the talented wide receiver.
That came to an abrupt end on Monday, as multiple reports now have Florida — and specifically administration officials — ending Robinson’s recruitment just days before National Signing Day. Those reports came from all and sundry — Andrew Spivey, Blake Alderman, Chris Hays — and cited more or less the same facts: While coaches planned to take Robinson, who was likely to choose to join the Gators on National Signing Day, the Florida administration blocked that move on Monday afternoon.
