Expert Analysis
Robbie Hodin | Prep Hoops Scout
Robinson is a player who just feels like he’s waiting to break out. The 6-foot-7 forward had a huge second half in a loss against Darrow in which he showcased his motor and athleticism on the boards and in the paint on both ends. He had some rim-rocking dunks, and he has a pretty special second-jump in terms of attacking the ball on misses offensively. Robinson is still a little raw and isn’t consistent from the perimeter with the ball, but I could see him improving from there and putting on some weight, two things that would make him a much more interesting prospect. This spring with the Middlesex Magic should be super helpful for his development.

+15 (#72 to #57)
Robinson, a forward out of the Brimmer & May School in Massachusetts, rose 15 spots in this update and now sits at #57 overall. Robinson has continued to improve at a steady rate while providing consistent and reliable production on the floor. He makes solid decisions with the ball, has great footwork as a low post scorer, and is playing with more freedom and comfort than ever before. Defensively, he continues to rebound the ball at a high level in traffic, while showing good instincts as a shot blocker coming from the help side.

He is a player that continues to grow on me. I have seen Tyson a handful of times now and you can tell he works on his footwork around the rim when he gets the ball. He had a nice baseline rip drive to a reverse mikan layup but he continues to make plays like that on offense. A very steady player with a baseball background. Smart as well when a player was driving he made a boxout screen on his defender clearing the lane for the driver. Very disruptive on the defensive end with his length and bounce, the ability to contest shots on bigger players. He has D1 offers and interests from college coaches. If he continues to grow and be consistent like I have seen from him he deserves a shot at D1. If he chooses the D2 career he would have a great career at that level.

Robinson sometimes spends a bit too much time on the perimeter, especially given what he can do inside the paint. This weekend, he had a wild putback slam and generally showcased some really solid physical attributes on a number of his offensive rebounds and defensive contests. He can also make the three ball and can attack closeouts occasionally. Robinson is still learning how to use his body and fully lean into his size and athleticism, but he looks more comfortable throwing elbows and taking contact than he used to, which is absolutely a step in the right direction. Scholarship schools should be all over Robinson as a very intriguing long term prospect.

Robinson was definitely the second most impressive prospect on Friday. He continues to get bigger, stronger, and more athletic every time I watch him, and the 6-foot-7 wing/forward is beginning to really understand how and when to use his physicality. He looks so much more comfortable taking and giving contact than I remember him. The three point shot and ball handling skills are still coming along, but the junior has some time to shore up those parts of his game. I would project him as a low end D1 player who has some potential to go higher if he can develop his guard/wing skills.

Robinson was one of the more athletic bigs at Holy Cross camp. He’s 6-foot-7 and super long, but he gets high off the floor and runs the court like a deer. He has solid instincts attacking the ball and a solid foundation for his three point shot, but I could totally see him blooming late into a D1 prospect. His shot looks very nice but isn’t as consistent as it needs to be, and he looks like he’ll get a lot stronger over the next couple years, which will allow him to guard opposing big men. Definitely keep an eye on Robinson, who should be garnering scholarship interest right now.

Robinson, an athletic forward out of the Brimmer & May School in Massachusetts, is a gifted low post scorer that has continued to work hard to expand his game on the offensive end of the floor. He can score over either shoulder with his back to the basket, showing good footwork and an advanced feel for the game in the paint, but also has the ability to knock down shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations. On the other end, he is a high level shot blocker with good timing and instincts, while also showing the ability to rebound at a high level.

For his age, Robinson was incredibly impressive on the defensive end of the floor. He matched up with both Hynes and Alekseyenko – two of the best players at the tournament (and two players who are a lot older than him) – and held his own, even taking their cookies a couple of times. He has big time athletic tools and the size to pair with it. He’s maybe the most intriguing prospect at the entire tournament, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him getting scholarship looks when the time comes.

Robinson, who heads to Brimmer & May after a successful first season at Newton South, is one of the more athletic forwards in this class. A bouncy athlete, Robinson plays with a high motor that allows him to make a serious impact on the glass and around the rim. He’s a terrific shot blocker, both on the ball in the post and while chasing opponents down in transition. He got noticably stronger this summer and utilized those gains to make a big impact on the glass. Offensively, he does a great job of rim running in transition, finishes through contact in the paint, and can even step out and knock down standstill threes. He’s a prospect that is brimming with potential and should only continue to improve against a higher level of competition in the NEPSAC.
