Ten Underrated Graduate Transfers for the 2018-19 Season--College Court Report
Zaynah Robinson – Northern Kentucky Norse

2017-18 Program: Norfolk State Spartans
2016-17 Stats: 13.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1.6 spg; 37.9% FG (DNP in 2017-18)

Zaynah Robinson didn’t suit up for Norfolk State this past season, but he was one of the top guards in the country in 2016-17 that nobody talked about. Robinson enjoyed a breakout season in 2016-17, finishing second on the Spartans in scoring behind Jonathan Wade. Now, Robinson has transferred from the perennial powerhouse in the MEAC, and is off to the Horizon League as a member of the Northern Kentucky Norse.

Robinson averaged 13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in 2016-17, all of which were career high marks for the 5’11” guard from Atlanta. With all that the Norse have lost from last season, Robinson should be the feature guard on offense, and he will form a nice one-two punch with returning forward Drew McDonald. The Horizon League is home to some of the nation’s most underrated guards, and Robinson is one of them. Robinson will look to build off his 2016-17 numbers and close out his collegiate career with another impressive campaign.
