Earlier this week, Miami basketball added another 2021 commitment: 4-star shooting guard Jakai Robinson.
Robinson, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound wing, hails from Maryland — near the Washington D.C. area. Miami landed Robinson over offers from NC State, UConn, Georgetown and Seton Hall. (NC State offered Robinson back in August.)
247 Sports slots Robinson as the No. 2 player in the state of Maryland and the No. 61 overall prospect in the class.
This isn’t the first time Jim Larranaga has landed a prized recruit out of the DC/Maryland area. Back in 2017, the Hurricanes also added point guard Chris Lykes, now headed into his senior season at Miami.

Robinson is the third commit in Miami’s 2021 recruiting class; he joins 4-star point guard Bensley Joseph and 3-star combo guard Nisine Poplar.
