"He finished his junior year with no offers. No letters or no offers,” Squire said. “As a junior in high school. None.”
The junior year Squire speaks of was the 2011-2012 academic year at Manchester High School in Chesterfield, Virginia.
Originally a member of the class of 2013, Robinson, along with his parents, made the decision to reclassify to 2014 and transfer to the Christchurch School for his final two years of high school.
As a junior at Christchurch, Robinson continued to improve at a rapid rate. He grew several inches to his current height — 6-foot-8 — and this past spring and summer, he rose to national prominence at events such as the Reebok Breakout Camp, the adidas EuroCamp in Treviso, Italy, the NBPA Top 100 Camp and the LeBron James Skills Academy.
“This was a guy that a lot of people still didn’t know about, but was given the opportunity to get on this stage and this platform and perform,” Squire said. “If he performed, it would take things to new heights. And that’s exactly what happened. I’ve seen a lot. I would compare Devin’s story to the Tracy McGrady ordeal.”
Indiana, along with Connecticut, Florida, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State, are some of the schools Robinson is strongly considering. He’ll take an official visit to Oklahoma State on September 13 and Indiana on October 4 for Hoosier Hysteria.
