Rick Stansbury says Mitchell Robinson was “doing fine” his first 2½ weeks on campus.

Western Kentucky’s coach said the freshman center was doing well in class, participating fully in practice and “adjusting” to life as a Hilltopper.

Then the night of July 26, Robinson packed up his belongings, left Bowling Green and never came back.

“As I’ve said, he would benefit from structure, and he was doing fine. He’d been here 2½ weeks, done well in his class, started practice. We had two days of practice and an individual (workout), so there’s no question he was adjusting.
