When as a senior in high school, Jervae Robinson didn't receive any offers to play Division I basketball, he felt betrayed by the sport he loves.
His father introduced him to the game when he was a little kid.
"I felt the love of the sport of basketball from my father, who taught me the fundamentals," he said.
Robinson started at point guard for four years at Overland High School in Denver, leading his team to two consecutive states titles. Despite that, Division I recruiters didn't come calling.
"It was hard for me," Robinson said.
