When Brandon Robinson was a freshman, assistant coach Steve Robinson would regularly chide him before practice with the same line: "Which Brandon are we going to get today?" The younger version of the player from Douglasville, Ga., was inconsistent, one day looking like a potential superstar and the next like a confused freshman.
Those unpredictable days are over. Robinson and Shea Rush are the last remaining links to the 2017 national championship team, and teammates have cited Robinson, Garrison Brooks and Leaky Black as preseason leaders.
"When I was a freshman, I was trying to process everything and trying not to make a mistake," Robinson says.
