Goals at the NLA Showcase: "I'm just trying to get better and show out."
Why Texas Tech was the right fit for him: "Man, the coaching staff really showed that they make it about the players more than, you know, about what they're trying to accomplish. Overall Texas Tech is a good school and they're looking to up our future so it was good to commit to them."
Did the Junior Day visit make him more secure in his decision? "Yes sir, most definitely. When they were talking about how the school was broke down and how the program was broke down, I really enjoyed and I was really interested in the school just being there."
What else stood out at the Junior Day: "The dunk contest for sure. Looked like they got a lot of bounce in the program so I'm looking forward to extending my vertical too."
Texas Tech coaches: "The most would probably be coach Kenny Perry and then coach Juice (Johnson).
He's (Perry) really fired up and he loves his players. That's what I love the most about him.
Coach Juice, he's real loving to his players as well but he's also a family man. I love that as well."
Connecting with other recruits at the Junior Day: "I talked to some of the SOC linebackers (JJ Shelton and Jamarion Phillips), I didn't really get their names but I heard they were a big piece coming in and other wide receivers that were in the film room with me I got to connect with them as well. So it was a good environment."
Other schools still recruiting him since his commitment? "They're kinda down more. I don't get as much notice as I did whenever I wasn't committed, which is fine with me."
Robertson also added that Kansas - his other offer to date - isn't recruiting him as much since his commitment.
Shutting it down with Tech or still keeping options open? "I'm really just gonna try to make it through high school and just see what plays out."
Off-seasons plans: "Oh yeah, I'm in track and I'm most definitely gonna be trying to see if I can get into some more camps. Possibly looking into 7-on-7 so."
Return visit to Tech in the works? "If coach lets me get out there I'm most definitely come show out. Official visit will probably be the next step."
