Here's Robert in his own words.
It has been a long Journey for me to finally fulfill my dream of playing division 1 basketball. After my junior year of high school, in which my team was the 5a state runner up. I was highly recruited out of the state of Georgia. Tennessee, Georgia, UAB, Fordham, Lipscomb, Eastern Kentucky, Furman, Air Force Academy, Rice, High Point, to name a few. However many of those schools came and went and I was left with a tough decision. Either sign to the Air Force Academy, which was my only standing offer at the time, or wait until the summer and go to showcases hoping to find a big break. April of 2008 I signed my letter of intent to Air Force Academy. I really did not know what to expect and figured I was going to make the best out of my situation. The situation was unique because Air Force wanted me to prep for a year at their prep school, then start the academy in the fall of 2009. After two months out there I decided that the military life was not for me. I left and took my game to New Jersey to the Edison Academy Prep school. I felt like I made a good choice for myself and schools started calling me recruiting me again. Later in the year as the season progressed I had strong interest from many schools. I recently signed my letter of intent to play at Marist College this fall in Poughkeepsie New York.
