Potential first-round pick Jerome Robinson of Boston College has signed with CAA Sports and will remain in this year’s draft, tweets Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.
The 6’6″ point guard averaged 24 points for the Eagles as a junior this season. He and teammate Ky Bowman both elected to enter the draft earlier this month without agents, but Robinson’s decision to hire CAA finalizes his status.
Robinson comes in 39th on the list of the top 100 prospects compiled by Jonathan Givony of ESPN and is projected to be taken 40th by the Nets in Givony’s latest mock draft.
“I feel that my game and my mentality is pro ready,” Robinson told ESPN’s Jeff Goodman. “Simple as that.” (Twitter link).
Several teams are projecting Robinson as a late first-round selection, Goodman adds (Twitter link).
