RIP Stanley Robinson

[BrassBonanza]

ugh just terrible. thoughts go out to his family.

 

[UConnKev]

Rest In Peace Stanley.

I find myself watching this video a few times a year.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Shocking.

I feel terrible for his family.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

RIP Sticks. One of the most exciting players in UConn history.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

ugh, heartbreaking. I can't imagine the toll it takes on the players whose careers don't pan out. Can't help but feel like we often overlook how brutal the sports industry is to a majority of players.

100% agree. No matter how grounded you can be, we can never imagine the toll and pressure that can cause.

Can't forget, Sticks was ranked the 18th best recruit in his class. Any player ranked that high has all the right in the world to believe they could be a lottery pick some day, but obviously it doesn't always work out.

 

[Scot-e]

I hate this. RIP.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Very sad news. So young. RIP Sticks and thanks for the wonderful memories.

Stanley brought joy to many here. RIP Stanley. Condolences to any family members, loved ones or those that knew him that happen to pass by here.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Oh my god this is terrible

 

[kansashusky]

Only UConn jersey I have is Stanley Robinson's.

RIP.

 

[Waterbury]

Rest in peace to him. That '09 team was unforgettable and he played a massive role in their successes.

 

[Mr. French]

This is terrible news. Can't believe it.

 

[Mr. French]

I'm sure it's been said somewhere, but does anyone know the cause? I'm not seeing what happened ...

 

[CardiacAndre7]

So sad. Got this update whole driving and my heart dropped. I was pretty young when he was playing but I was just starting to get obsessed with UConn, and I friend requested a bunch of players from the 2009 team, and I think he was the only one to add me back. One of my favorite players ever, regardless of level. RIP Sticks.

 

[huskyfan224]

Terrible news, one of my favorites of all time, RIP! His 2 hand putback dunk on Georgetown is my favorite of his, or his 2 handed block against IU where he met the dude at the rim and took it away. Ridiculous plays

 

[Burt]

Surreal...watching all these highlight videos, hard to fathom the unacceptable truth. Terrific energy, terrific player, terrific human being. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. RIP, Stanley.

 

[superjohn]

Rest In Peace Stanley.

I find myself watching this video a few times a year.

That's one of my all-time favorite single game highlights. Bilas was going nuts about him and Stanley was having the time of his life.

 

[Lynyrd]

Damn

 

[HuskyBoi]

My favorite ever player. Was a privilege and honor watching you Stanley. I am so so sad. One of the first players I ever watched when I was really young and I've had his photo as my avatar for the longest time to remind me every day of what an awesome dunker and player he was for UCONN. REST IN PEACE

 

[ColchVEGAS]

RIP to a great player and all around good person for those that had the pleasure of meeting him. I exchanged texts with him a year ago when he congratulated me on the birth of my daughter. Wish I could have chatted and caught up with him more.

 

[upstater]

So heart breaking, one of my all time favorites. RIP, Sticks.

Mine too. Oh Stanley.

 

[calluke]

Life is too short.

Love on someone in your life today. Hug a family member. Call a friend. Text that buddy you haven't talked with in years.

And for those with mental illness that feel like they are living in darkness...There is Hope.

Stanley, you will forever be a Husky.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

“Sticks, to the rafters.”

Rest In Peace Stanley. So awful.

 

[ZenConn]

This is just gut wrenching and awful. 2021 isn't coming quickly enough.

 

[UC313]

I rooted so hard for Sticks throughout his career. This one hurts. Travel well Stanley.

 

[husky99]

Absolutely terrible.
