Jermaine Robinson is the most experienced Viking, playing in 86 career games. A fifth-year senior, Robinson should become the 16th player in CSU history to score 1,000 career points. Offensively, he has the ability to break defenders down with his dribble and his explosiveness to the basket. He combines that with good court vision and excellent ball-handling skills to allow him to play at any perimeter position.
