Robbins leaves Minnesota for Vanderbilt

Liam Robbins

Former Davenport Assumption graduate and Drake transfer Liam Robbins announced on social media Monday that he plans to continue his college basketball career at Vanderbilt.

The 7-foot Robbins played last season at Minnesota but opted to enter the NCAA’s transfer portal when head coach Richard Pitino and staff were fired.

Robbins played the first two years of his college career at Drake and after a breakout 2019-20 season, he moved to Minnesota, where his uncle, Ed Conroy, was the associate head coach under Pitino.

Robbins averaged 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and a Big Ten-leading 2.7 blocks in his only season at Minnesota. He averaged 14.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots per game as a sophomore at Drake.
