During his time at the University of Connecticut, Robinson averaged 9.8 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting. He added 6.2 rebounds per game and helped the Huskies reach the Final Four in his junior season before the Huskies won the national championship the year following his graduation.
Robinson would go on to be drafted by the Orlando Magic in the 2010 NBA Draft, where he played for the D-League’s Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Robinson later moved to Canada to play for the Moncton Miracles while also playing for the CEB Puerto Montt.
