"The visit went great," said Leisa, Hubbs' mother. "It was very special to us that the whole staff was here. We thought it would just be coach Tyndall and maybe one assistant. When they left, Robert look at us and said he was still a Tennessee Vol. It's his decision but we are there for him and there to help guide him anyway he made need. I told Robert and my husband this was much worse than when he was deciding in high school."
Robert's father, Robert Sr., was also impressed with the fact that the entire staff came to his him to make it clear just how important his son was to their program. "It showed me and my son how much they want him. And it showed a lot of respect from coach Tyndall. It meant a lot to me and I know Robert was excited about it. "They told him that they want him to be a big piece to the puzzle. A cornerstone because they need to build the team around players like him."
"He is just going to take things one day at a time, but I think a decision will come fairly quick. I don't want to put a timetable on it, but whatever he wants to do our family is going to support it. "They made it clear that would be very excited to keep him."
"Robert loves Tennessee. He loves the fans and the school. Things happened so fast it was a bit of a culture shock. His friends left, but you can't just leave because your friends left. What's good for one person doesn't mean it's good for you."
