When Prep Hoops Wisconsin published their first edition of the 2022 class rankings, Robinson’s name was nowhere to be found. That did not last very long, however. An exceptional spring catapulted the SG into a comfortable position within the top ten in the rankings.
Prep Hoops Wisconsin was able to get in touch with Robinson to ask him some questions about his young basketball career.
“The first half of my AAU season I felt like I made a statement that I belong,” said Robinson. He also talked about the Prep Hoops Circuit: “When my father told me that we were playing on the prep hoops circuit I was ecstatic to hear it. I love the energy and the competition level, especially in crunch time. This is my first time playing on a circuit and when I saw college coaches there, it gave me a sense of energy that made me play better.” During the spring live period, Robinson reciprocated that energy. Multiple college coaches packed the baseline to watch the 6’2″ guard display his talents.
Despite multiple coaches having eyes on Robinson, he has been unable to snag his first scholarship offer. “I have a couple of invites for college camps. I currently have no offers. My High school coach (Bo Richter) told me that Wright State brought me up in their conversations a few times,” said Robinson. As a clear cut eventual D1 prospect, it is only a matter of time until he earns his first full-ride offer.
Early in his career, Robison has plenty of things that he excels at, but also a handful of things he can get better at. Being prudent, Robison said, “I am never satisfied with my game, I feel that I have to work on everything until it gets to that elite level. But the most important thing that I have to improve on is my pick and role decision making.” At this stage in his career, Robison’s game should not be completely polished. However, he is not ranked as the 9th best player in the 2022 class for no reason. The shooting guard has plenty of strengths that he uses to get the best of his opponents. “My biggest strengths are my driving ability, my mid-range pull up, my IQ, and free throws,” said Marshawn.
Robison’s spring AAU session portends future success, and he knows it. “For the second half of my AAU season, I want to be #1 in my class,” said the guard. Robinson later stacked that goal on top of another ambitious one, saying, “For my junior school season, I would like to win state.” An outstanding freshman and spring season have allowed Robinson to keep both of these aggressive goals within reach.
Marshawn Robinson’s rapid climb this spring on the Prep Hoops Circuit has been fun to watch. As he heads into his sophomore season, it will only get more entertaining.
