Extraordinarily unlikely, but certainly falls under the category of "wouldn't that be great!"

Sent from my XT1050 using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] A whole lot of ifs. The same thought crossed my mind, but we'll see if Billy Boy approves of the Cav's decision with the #1 pick. They are supposedly the main suitor if ESPN is to be believed.

He's from Virginia right?  Wonder how much of that recruiting was attributed to KJ.  With Louisville having offered too and now KJ over there, could get competitive.

Yeah, they grew up tight.  Lived by each other.  Played AAU since elementary.  Robert when he committed said the first person he would work on after his announcement was Devin.  Devin's last visit was Florida.  Many people thought we were up there as was UConn.  I would think after what Ollie did, they would be up there if Donovan left.  Obviously he knows he would start and play like 25+ for us out of necessity at the 4 out of the gate.  Donovan has one of the comfiest seats in America though.  No Florida schools to really fight with for top players.  Prime location.  Tradition.  Money.  Football school that excels at basketball.  Dude has it made.  IMO, he would be nuts to leave for the NBA.  I put him in that Izzo category.  Will always be suited, but always looking for a reason to stay.

Presumably, Florida would pony up the pay raise to get him NBA money to keep him there. But the thought of coaching Irving and Embied/Parker/Wiggins, plus whoever the Cav's have the ability to pay for in free agency this summer has to be enticing. Could be a possible Finals contender. He's already reach the pinnacle twice and has cemented his legacy at Florida, maybe it's time to add another milestone.

Then they made a mistake. They were definitely involved/offered. I'm 99% sure he took an official there.

[/quote] They noted that he made an official there and the coach visited him. But no offer was mentioned. They're pretty detailed with his profile, but it's totally possible they did update that.

A player as highly ranked as Robinson isn't going to waste an official on a school like OSU if they haven't offered. Rivals showes they offered.
