Stanley Robinson

[Mazhude]

The late, great Stanley Robinson will have his jersey retired during a ceremony at Huffman High School in Huffman, Alabama, on Feb. 7. Robinson, a fan favorite and one of Jim Calhoun's favorite former players, died unexpectedly in 2020.

Loved Sticks. We have had some tremendous dunkers through the years but he was my favorite.

Incredible athlete. A joy to watch. Left us way to soon.

Sticks and Adrien were the guys I wanted that 09 team to win for. Man, Stanley was an absolute monster at times and we watched his game evolve. I occasionally watch his highlights on YouTube and his scream with every dunk was awesome.

We have a have had a nice slew of wing "freak" type athletes over the years . . Sticks, Andre, Deandre, Charlie, Rudy

Don't forget Marcus Johnson. I think he was the best dunker I've ever seen. Not just at UConn but anywhere.

Well deserved. Sticks was a good guy and gentle soul to go along with his freakish natural athletic ability. His mom and daughters should be very proud that he is being honored and what he accomplished in his way too short of a life. Really sad he is not still here with us.

Sticks "dunk highlight" reel is 12 minutes long!

Damn allergies hit me every time one of these threads on Sticks comes up.

The highlight reel reminds of when Jackie Moon gets the idea for the alley oop from his mom in Semi Pro

The whole Stanley Robinson storyline still hurts. Was one of those guys I rooted for the hardest when he was at UConn, terrible how it all turned out.

Wouldn’t hate the idea of doing something for the 09 final four team (crazy to think it’s already been 15 yrs), and paying homage to Stanley, one of the greats

Not to deflect from Stanley, Marcus Johnson was always one of those enigmas that I thought could have been way better than he ended up playing out at UConn.

He certainly had the athleticism but he just never really panned out in college. The guys who had it all to be NBA players were Doug Wrenn and Nate Miles. After years of making bad decisions it seems Doug Wrenn figured things out. I noticed Nate Miles has a son named after him who will probably turn out to he a high major recruit.

I always get sad when I think of Stanley.
