I think we just need to let the process work itself out. But I hope staff has a plan B.

insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/on-the-trail/post?id=5800Physical attributes
Why it’s important: A center first and foremost must rely on what physical characteristics he possesses. The ability to catch the ball is so basic yet so instrumental, so developing hands becomes the priority. To have the massive size and strength to handle contact, fight for position inside and gain leverage is vital especially in the lower body. Does one own wing span or the length to reach and change/block a shot or over a defender? Mobility is huge, as a center must move his feet laterally in the lane and run the floor. These are the core physical parts where a center can impact the game.
Who does it best: Elbert Robinson (Garland, Texas/Lakeview Centennial)
At 6-foot-11 and more than 270 pounds, he owns the size, length, and power to not only absorb contact, but he can dish it out and he is willing to do so. He loves to screen and roll to the rim. When you look at his frame you don’t expect him to move well, but he moves extremely well for his size. His body is still fleshly but proper conditioning and hard work will allow him to run and move in multiple sequences without getting fatigued. Large and secure hands allow him to pass and catch, while his footwork needs polish. Robinson has all the pure physical qualities to be very good down the road.

Bothers me that he still hasn't set a date to visit. Wouldn't shock me if he stops listing Hoyas on Thursday, pursues his career at a football school and is never heard from again. Obviously hoping that's not how it turns out, but all of the noise and inconsistency surrounding his recruitment is worrisome...
And yes, I'm aware that he's at least interested enough to have been following the news of Paul White's commit and to comment on it...

....or they said no to his price. Or maybe, like Whitehead's AAU coach, Elbert's AAU coach asked for a position and got rejected.
