6'6, 225lb forward. When I went to the NIL preseason scrimmage event last season, Jaylen seemed impressive and strong.
Jaylen Robinson (JRob)- Redshirt Freshman - Eligibility through 2028-2029 season
- Thread starter Section9_RowD
- Start date
Both of the RS freshmen are going to be the most interesting additions this season. If they don’t contribute, then there are going to be big questions about recruiting. If they do contribute, then there will be debate about whether they should have played last year or whether the extra development year actually paid dividends.

JRob. Really hoping this guy gets a big opportunity this year. Crazy if he does not. We have had at least 3 or 4 different eyewitness reports from this board, going back to last year's pre season scrimmages. All of them very positive. No clear path with Daughtry seeming like the power forward. This is where Mooney needs to think outside the box. And we all know that is far far from a strength of his. I am not completely giving up on Bryson as an impact player this season, but I am getting the sense he will need that adjustment time to this level. I do think he needs to play this year, especially early vs this weak schedule OOC. But back to JRob. We need him on the floor. I don't want to hear about lack of fit (with Daughtry at 4) or learn the system, or anything else. Get him on the floor and impacting the game. Play him next to Daughtry.
Anyone remeber our stellar 6'5 Power Forwards? Name of Kenny Wood and Terry Connolly. Both guys could play, and Tarrant played them together. Both could bang and board, and both had offensive skill. I think we need something like that with Daughtry and JRob. Figure it out.

So trying to think of a comparison past Spiders player to Jaylen based on his skillset and what I saw last night? Hhis 225lb last night (and in the NIL scrimmage last year) makes him seem to be 6'8 or 6'9 compared to his 6'6 listing.

Does he have Cayo form on his free throws?
Great post!

:
I'll take Cayo's 4th year stats which he hit 70% which is about his pro average versus whatever happened to cause that horrendous looking form 5th when he crashed to 44%.
First of all an assist to @vt4700 to bring this post back up as I had to scroll up to find it and it was from late July.
Second, I think 23 owns a DeLorean.

Not sure where this spidey-sense came from in July, but this is exactly what I saw vs JMU. Bryson has the physical attributes, but seems to be thinking too much and trying to speed up at the same time compounding the issue.
I don’t think I was following the Spiders closely in the Wood/Connolly years, but it seems like this is exactly what the Spiders strength will be this year. I know this is a throwback style of play, but it seems like the traditional 2 guard, 2 forwards, and a center would be the best fit if you wanted to go with “the best players play” model. However, as 23 mentions this type of change doesn’t seem Mooney-like so I doubt we see it this year.

Native, I have to admit, the post about Bryson, I think, was due to the practice report from our podcasters. I was high on him to be our starting wing this season. The very first practice report indicated he was struggling to score in our internal scrimmages. Thus my comment.
Thanks to 4700 for re-sharing that post.

Good question…I don’t recall his shooting a FT…or a 3FG…
Ha! As for Cayo’s FT form and results didn’t he progress from unwatchable to poor to outstanding to mediocre and finally back to poor over five seasons?
Last I saw Cayo was still playing pro in Canada. We’ll be fortunate if Robinson develops into another Cayo.
Go Spiders!

Apparently someone from the family got in his head and retooled his ft form before final season. Yikes.:

Double down. If JRob is not getting significant minutes because of some perceived misfit between being 3/4, then that’s a fireable offense. That guy brings a whole vibe to the lineup that’s been missing for a while now.
