Son of Purdue legend Glenn Robinson. Currently has offers from us and Valpo. However, with the way he has performed duing the AAU season, that's going to change quickly.

I think his best traits right now are his length and athleticism. Those two things help him to finish at/above the rim, scrap for boards, and block some shot. I hate to act like a doctor, but he's a kid that looks like he could grow a little more. He's starting to gain a little muscle, and it's helping him play tougher. Probably a SF right now, but could play a little 2 guard as well. I like the form on his jumper, he just needs to shoot it more consistently. He can get to the rim off the dribble, but he needs to continue to improve the handles for the college level. He's got all the potential, just needs to refine his game and skill level.

Is he projecting to be a SF in college?

Is he projecting to be a SF in college?
I'd say so from everything I've read right now. His shot is what needs work and he's more of a slasher right now. He's been rated as a four-star kid on Rivals already.

Added offers from IUPUI and Michigan.

Not to bring up the bad, but will be have the same "school" issues that his dad did? Looks like a great player, hopeful about him looking to ISU.

Has been downgraded to a three-star prospect on Rivals.

Interesting, since he just picked up a Big 10 offer.

[Jason Svoboda]

Committed to Michigan.

Didn't his dad play in the NBA, or am I thinking of someone else?

I believe that is an error. I believe the earliest he could sign an official letter of intent is during "early signing period" and that starts in mid-November.

Seriously? The number 1 overall pick in the NBA?

Yeah, his dad played in the NBA
11 years; 2 time All-Star, NBA Champion, All Rookie
(Likely screwed out of RoY honors)

His dad was amazing at Purdue and if not for some injuries and other issues would have had a much longer NBA career. What's with Michigan getting all these ex superstars sons?
