He's still looking. The disgruntled and apparently very slow Robert Marve is still looking for the right fit as far as where to transfer. Marve decided to transfer before the start of 2009, and got his release shortly after wards. He got most of those transfer restrictions that had him and his family so righteously fought eliminated.Marve chafed against being told that he could not transfer to ACC, most SEC schools or any Florida-based D-1A program. Yet the only program that he is considering that was on the restricted list appears to be South Florida.
Otherwise, he has chosen to explore schools that Miami would be happy to see him attend. Purdue is on the list along with Texas Tech. He's visiting Nebraska today to take in their spring game set for Saturday. From there he intends to continue his nomadic wanderings to the Arizona desert for a visit to Arizona State. Plus he still wants to consider UCLA.
Over four months of gathering information and taking visits. Clearly, Marve is a very deliberate and meticulous planner. Someone who must be carefully weighing information and thinking long and hard about his choices.
"Robert's a gut-feel type of kid," [Marve's high school coach Robert] Weiner said. "He'll kind of know as he goes along which schools are attractive to him and which ones he probably won't go to."Oh.
So Marve will ultimately go with his gut. He's missed a semester of school, and has to sit out a season. All this for a guy who while a top recruit in high school looked clueless at Miami.
Yes, the offensive line at Miami was poor and the receiving talent was unimpressive. Marve, though, showed very little to distinguish himself as being a special talent trapped in a bad scene.
Maybe that's why the process is taking so long. He's trying to enjoy the attention and recruiting love one more time before obscurity and disappointment.
