Glenn Robinson III

Glenn Alann ‘Tre’ Robinson III (born January 8, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the Wisconsin Herd of the NBA G League.

He played college basketball for the Michigan Wolverines.

Robinson was an all-state high school basketball player for Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana.

He is the son of Glenn Robinson, the 1994 first overall NBA draft pick.

Robinson was prematurely born to his mother, Shantelle Clay, at Methodist Hospital in Gary, Indiana.

He spent his first two months in an incubator, until he was about 6 lb. By age three, he was a participant in the Hammond, Indiana YMCA children's basketball league.

Robinson attended Grimmer Middle School in Schererville, Indiana prior to attending Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana.

He stood at 5 ft in seventh grade and 6 ft two years later as a freshman.

Robinson was nearly 6 ft during his sophomore season and stood at more than 6 ft as a junior.

As a freshman, he played junior varsity for Lake Central.

At the time, his father lived in Atlanta, and Robinson grew up with his mother, Shantelle Clay-Irving alongside his younger brother Gelen.

During the summer between his freshman and sophomore season, he came under the wing of two substitute father figures: Dave Milausnic, Lake Central Varsity Basketball head coach, and Wayne Brumm, AAU SYF Players under-17 coach.

Milausnic convinced Robinson to come to the gym for early morning workouts, often waking Robinson at his home.

Brumm, who would continue to mentor Robinson as a collegian, advised him to hire a personal trainer named Andrew Wallen, who helped Robinson augment his vertical leap.

He also helped Robinson bulk up from 167 lb prior to his sophomore year to 210 lb in two years.

As a sophomore, he was a first-team all-area selection after leading Lake Central in scoring.

Robinson led Lake Central to its first sectional championship since 1997 with a 24-point performance in the team's 63–37 victory over Highland High School.

The road to the sectional title included a 66–56 rematch victory over Munster.

On September 14, 2010, Robinson became the first verbal commitment to the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball class of 2012.

On February 5, 2011, Robinson posted his career-high 39 points against East Chicago Central High School on 14-for-19 shooting.

In the 2011 Indiana sectional against Munster High School, Robinson scored 31 points in an overtime 54–53 loss.

Robinson and Mitch McGary had been friends for years prior to their Michigan affiliation.

By the time McGary committed to Michigan in November 2011, Robinson had moved up to the national no. 34 player ranking, per Rivals.com.

The 2011–12 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team had been co-champions of 2011–12 Big Ten Conference, but lost both of its co-captains, Zack Novak and Stu Douglass, to graduation.

At the time, he had scholarship offers from Colorado, Valparaiso, Missouri State, IUPUI and Indiana State, and Rivals.com rated him as the 118th-best player in the class of 2012.

The pair, along with Nik Stauskas, gave Michigan a consensus top 10 entering class for its 2012 campaign.

Robinson visited Michigan along with future teammate Stauskas to see the 61–56 New Year's Day 2012 victory by the 2011–12 Wolverines team over Minnesota.

Robinson blossomed as a senior in 2012.

In January 2012, he led Lake Central to a 71–47 win over North Carolina-bound J. P. Tokoto's Menomonee Falls High School at the Brandon Jennings Invitational in Milwaukee.

Robinson earned most valuable player (MVP) honors with 33 points, while Tokoto posted 28.

Following the season, Robinson was invited to participate in the four-team All-American Championship along with future teammate McGary in New Orleans on April 1, 2012.

He posted 16 points and 4 rebounds to earn the ESPNHS All-American Championship game MVP.

He was named the 2012 Post-Tribune boys' basketball player of the year.

By the end of his senior year, Robinson was considered a five-star player by Rivals.com.

Robinson was an honor roll student at Lake Central.

He placed fourth in the Indiana Mr. Basketball voting behind Gary Harris, Yogi Ferrell and Kellen Dunham.

Robinson was a second-team Associated Press all-state selection.

His late rise offset a late fall by McGary and enabled Michigan to retain its top-ten class status.

He was drafted 40th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2014 NBA draft.

Robinson won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2017.
