talks Terps offer

ALL-MET ELITE

“Coach [Mark] Turgeon was at my game Friday and my coaches were telling me he was going to offer,” said Robinson, a 6-foot-3 junior guard at Paul VI in Fairfax, Va. “He called me on Saturday and offered. He told me he likes my style of play and definitely wants to have me at Maryland and wanted to offer a full scholarship.”  Robinson, who had a strong summer on the AAU circuit last year with Team Takeover, has emerged as one of the most prized guards in the region in the 2013 class, with offers from Virginia, Pitt, Miami, Rutgers, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, Xavier, Villanova and others. What was it, exactly, that Turgeon saw in Robinson during his two recent scouting trips to watch the highly-sought combo guard?“He told me he liked my floor leadership, my change of pace, which I’ve been working on, and how I play the game,” he said. Robinson’s been focused on his season and wasn’t planning to check out any college games until the spring, but said he plans to head to a Maryland game sometime soon. He’s spoken on numerous occasions with assistant coach Dalonte Hill. Still, Robinson’s recruitment figures to be a competitive battle. Most of the region’s top programs have offered or expressed interest, and he’s sure to add more national suitors before making his decision; he plans to do so at the end of this summer. While Maryland is relatively new to his recruitment, Virginia’s been making a push for some time.
"Every time I turn my head, I see Coach Bennett or Coach Williford or Coach Sanchez in the stands," Robinson told Wahoos247. "I actually believe that they are at every game."
Still, he told IMS he’s got no favorites.
“As of right now, all of the schools that have offered, I’m giving them equal attention,” he said.
