He is one of three players in conference history to ever be named Player of the Year twice in their collegiate career. He scored his 2,000th career point in his final college game, a first round National Invitation Tournament loss to Ole Miss. Robinson graduated Monmouth as the all-time leading scorer in school history, second all-time in assist, and second all-time in career steals. For his stellar production, Robinson was named to the MAAC conference’s All-Decade Team. [5]
