Jaylen Robinson - Redshirt Freshman - Eligibility through 2028-2029 season

[Section9_RowD]

6'6, 225lb forward. When I went to the NIL preseason scrimmage event last season, Jaylen seemed impressive and strong.

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.
