RIP Stanley Robinson

He stayed with some relatives of mine during a Calhoun camp a bunch of years back and I got to chat with him. Genuinely good person who really had a tough go of it but always seemed to put in the work to make it for him and his family. Absolutely tragic

Love to see all the personal interactions fans here have had with him over the years. Says a ton about him as I'm sure there's not too many past or present huskies who have had such a genuine bond with the fans as him.

RIP sticks. Husky for life

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.

Me too, only player I ever facebook friend requested and he accepted.

This is shocking & terrible news. Will always remember his spectacular dunks on the big stage. RIP Sticks. :(

Total gut punch. Was on a work call for an hour and checked twitter when off and first thing I saw. Such terrible news. 2020 can't end soon enough.

RIP Sticks.
 
He was always one of those players that I wondered about after he left college, what he had been up to? He had so much athleticism and talent, I think sometimes he suffered from lack of confidence in his ability to really excel at the next level. When he put it together he was a monster. A sad day.

This one hurts. So many memories of his plays that got me hyped.

The first UCONN game I ever went to I made a sign that said, "Stanely Robinson will you dunk on me?"

R.I.P.

There are always better options and it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help.

Is that what is suspected? There have been a few posts now mentioning mental health and hotlines. I would hope that’s not baseless speculation.
 
Just incredibly sad for Stanley's family, UConn and all those who knew and loved Stanley. Thank you Sticks for all the great memories.
Rest easy brother.
 
What the heck?! I was waiting to see that this was someone else with the same name? Wow, I really saddened to hear this. Anyone know what happened?

My sympathies go out his friends and family.

EDIT: I read through the thread and see more of the detail. Just really, really sad. I wonder if he knew how loved he was by UConn fans. Not that it would have mattered. It would just make me a little less sad knowing that he knew it. Keep Sticks, his family and friends in your prayers.

Damn man, gone too soon. RIP... I will never forget his alley oop against Texas, one of the most epic plays in UConn history. With Vern on the call along with Clark Kellogg, “Sticks to the rafters! Go get it Stanley!” Thanks for the memories.

That brought the house down. One of the best UConn games/memories ever.
 
RIP Stanley Robinson, One of the greats. Lucky to have seen him play and grow at UConn
Someone I never knew personally or even met, but someone I always had the best genuine wishes for, more so than any other guys to come through, I can't explain it
 
Very, very sad news. Truly a favorite of Uconn fans as a player and human being. RIP Stanley.
