Former Kansas Jayhawks point guard Russell Robinson hasn’t played professionally since 2019, but his latest appearance near his old stomping grounds included an interesting comment on the state of his beloved alma mater.
While participating in the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic on Thursday, Robinson spent some time speaking about “front office” ambitions and taking recruiting efforts “global,” in a new video shared by KSNT 27 News of Topeka, Kansas.
After winning a national championship with the Jayhawks in 2008, Robinson spent much of his professional career overseas in Turkey, Italy, Poland, Greece and beyond.
