Danyial Robinson leaving for Head Coaching job

[exCYtable]

Will this negatively affect recruiting in any geographic region? Also, I know he has a son that's a great player at Centennial. Did he have a chance to be a future Cyclone or is he even D1 material?

Or you don't lose assistants because no one wants them.

See Fran...

Good!

Per Rothstien: Sources: Cleveland State will hire Iowa State's Daniyal Robinson as its next head basketball coach. Official announcement expected soon.

Good luck to Coach D-Rob. He's paid his dues and I hope he has great success.

(How about interviewing Jeff Grayer for an assistant job? I wonder if he'd be interested).

Landing spot for Jaden Walker?

 

[awd4cy]

Should be able to upgrade his spot.

Not that again.......

Very happy for Coach D-Rob. He's earned his stripes and I am sure he has a clear vision of how he wants to move Cleveland State forward - and he'll have an action plan in place soon after he arrives in Cleveland and has a chance to evaluate the lay of the land. Go get 'em Coach.

Hard to beat his Chicago connections, but I believe Blount has some Chicago connections as well. I remember noting the overlap in my mind when the staff was filled out.

I was going to write about him potentially following DRob to Cleveland State. Maybe Enaruna too for that matter?

Cleveland has a bad rap as a city, but after having spent some time there, mostly in downtown Cleveland, it has a lot going for it. And Cleveland State's campus is right downtown itself. Really nice spot for him to land his first head coaching gig.

If Pittsburgh can turn it around, Cleveland can.

Cleveland St is a very good landing spot for DRob's first HC spot.

TJ already has a coaching tree. Simply amazing.

This is a bit of a stretch to say Robinson is under TJs coaching tree if you know anything about Robinson’s background. I love TJ but need to be realistic. He is more Prohm or McDermott.

Daniyal Robinson (dan-yell) was retained by head coach T.J. Otzelberger in the spring of 2021 and is in his seventh season at Iowa State. It is Robinson’s second stint in Ames after previously serving on Greg McDermott’s staff from 2008-10. He was also on Steve Prohm's staff from 2015-21.

Good luck to Danyial! I'm excited to see who TJ brings into the staff. Could use another top notch Chicago recruiter

Speaking of Kansas - hire the father of the #1 player in America.

And never saw a big get better over their careers with him coaching them.

Congrats! I known that Mr.Robinson is getting hired as the head coach at Cleveland state and hopefully good for the program.

 

[cyfan92]

Any family members of 5 stars looking for an assistant position?

I'd give serious consideration a coach down at Link Academy in Missouri. Dead serious.

who might that be?

 

[Joe4Cy]

Congrats, Coach! Wishing him the best of everything.

Meanwhile, I understand Coach K is available....?
