Liam Robbins, a 7-foot center and star of Drake’s men’s basketball team, announced April 4 that he will be transferring to the University of Minnesota. The move is a huge loss for Drake’s basketball program as sophomore Robbins finished his last season fifth in the nation with 99 blocks, and averaged 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks. Robbins was also named 2nd team All-Missouri Valley Conference.
As a player, Robbins’ heights and wide shoulders help him down low in the point, allowing him to make his go-to move – the right-hand hook shot – and collect numerous blocks.
