    There is no way his draft position is anything but harmed by being out for a year. Maybe stays the same but it wont improve. Seems like a lost opportunity as we have seen before where players sit out of play overseas and are passed over for guys who played in college and were in the constant spotlight.

    Could he not go back to WKU at this point?
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    I think in theory I believe he could re-enroll with WKU's permission by 8/28 (last day to enroll in classes). But I tend to doubt WKU's giving him permission at this point.

    That's probably true.

    I think WKU could forgive a lot of sins to get a 5 star talent in the lineup.

    Robinson In Danger of Missing Season

    It's possible. But Stansbury claimed he was too busy to even meet with Robinson last month. Might have just been a move to save face but that relationship seems pretty broken.
