Robinson on his commitment to Louisville

Robinson discussed his decision to commit to Louisville with On3.

“The coaching staff at Louisville really stood out to me with them having multiple coaches coming from winning programs,” Robinson said to On3. “With almost an all NBA staff, it showed me how different they were from other colleges. From the first conversation with coach Kenny Payne, it was great. He is very honest and wants you to get to the next level so he’ll push you and help you to get there as much as he can. I believe in Coach Payne and I don’t believe I would find another coaching staff like Louisville so that’s ultimately why I chose them.”

What type of player is Louisville getting in TJ Robinson, in his own words?

“The type of player the program is getting is a leader, somebody who can create for my teammates and myself, a scoring guard with toughness on the defensive end, and somebody who’s going this program to a Natty!”

Robinson has a message for ‘Cards fans.

“Louisville fans, I’m excited to be apart of the family. Lets get it! #CardNation”
