Weaknesses:

Bio:
Born in New York City, Dylan (pronounced Die-lawn) was born to play basketball. As soon as he was born, he was given a basketball in his hands, he was born to play basketball. His father was a highly regarded streetball player from Harlem, his mother was an immigrant from Jamaica who played on the Jamaican women's national team. Robinson had fell in love with basketball from a very young age and given his overall background, had always excelled. With both of his parents being highly regarded basketball players and Dylan being an only child, he was always a student of the game. Working on his handles and defense from a very young age. And growing up watching players like Steph Curry and Dame Lillard, he would constantly be working on his shooting, even being able to shoot from close to half court with ease. He was always considered a phenom dominating elementary, junior high and varsity, playing his final two years of high school basketball at the prestigious Oak Hill Academy. He was a Top 5 HS prospect consistently recruited by all major colleges. But watching LeBron James, Robinson realized just how massive a social platform basketball can be. He really wanted to give back and help the black community. Knowing that he would always be a one-and-done NCAA player, Robinson decided to take his talents to a HBCU to bring more national attention to HBCUs and have his name forever associated with a HBCU. He visited multiple HBCUs before deciding that UAPB had the best cultural fit for him, he just instantly felt comfortable despite the fact that their basketball program never saw much success only winning the SWAC once and going to the NCAA tournament once back in 2010 as a 16th seed losing to Duke. But he was magnificent leading the nation in scoring at 31 PPG, winning National Freshman of the Year and taking Arkansas-Pine Bluff back to the NCAA tournament, even helping them as a 12th seed win their first ever NCAA tournament game, they eventually went down to Kansas in the Round of 32.
Aside from being a terrific basketball player, he also is a very talented rapper. Having dropped multiple albums throughout his HS and college years, many agree that he "spits hot fire." He is so confident in his ability to rap, he considers himself to be one of the 5 greatest rappers alive. His YouTube gets a ton of views though many critics of his music state that he is more of a mumble rapper.
