    Parker Robinson came in at No. 70 overall in the recent 2026 On3 150 ranking update. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard averaged 16.8 points while scoring 1.014 points per possession for his Team Melo team on Nike’s E16 Circuit. He transferred this offseason to Atlanta (GA) Overtime Elite.

    “I’m a high-energy player who shoots the ball at a high level,” Robinson told On3 . “Overall, I’m a hard worker and can do a little bit of everything, handle the ball, come off screens, play off ball. Really, just a little bit of everything.”

    This summer, Robinson went to Germany with an Adidas Elite group to play in the Adidas Next Generation Tournament. Through the three games, Robinson averaged 20.7 points while shooting 59.1 percent from three.

    “Going over for the Adidas Next Generations Tournament, there were other top clubs from across the world like Real Madrid and Barcelona,” Robinson said. “It is a different style of basketball, a lot of off-ball movement and team oriented. A lot of skill and discipline. We finished 2-1. The team we lost to was INSEP Paris who had Nolan Traore, he was nice. Being able to compete against guys I see in mock drafts, it was like an “a-ha” moment for me.”

    On3 caught up with four-star Parker Robinson after a recent live viewing to discuss the latest in his recruitment.

    Robinson talks recruitment

    “RIght now, I have offers from Maryland, Provdience, Illinois, West Virginia, and a few more,” Robinson said. “It started a bit slow for me, and things have just now started to come to light for me and coaches have started to show love.”

    MARYLAND : “My mom went to Michigan State and my dad went to Purdue, so we are a Big Ten family. I would always go and watch whenever Michigan State or Purdue would play Maryland. They have great guards every year and they play a lot of defense. My conversations have been good. I grew up in Indiana, but we moved to Maryland, so I’m a local kid and they want me to come in and be the next great local kid to play for them. I talk with a lot of the coaches frequently and I just scheduled an unofficial visit to go over there on October 11. It’ll be good to get on campus and see a football game and the atmosphere.”

    ILLINOIS : “They really allow their players to rock out. Like last year, with Terrence Shannon. Seeing players like that, high-energy guys who can fill the basket up, they go in there and they don’t put them in a cage. They allow their guys to play freely and play through mistakes. So a program like that, that let’s me play through my mistakes and grow as a person is definitely essential.”

    PROVIDENCE : “I talk a lot with Tim Fuller, an Overtime Elite guy, and then the head coach Kim English. They love the way I play and hav been down to see me play a couple of times. So they have been showing a lot of love early. It’s about continuing to build a relationship. I want to get to campus there soon, obviously they have a great program.”

    WEST VIRIGNIA : “I haven’t been in contact with them as much. It is a newer offer, Coach (Chester) Frazier is the one that offered me. We are still getting to know each other and I am excited to watch them play this season.”

    In Parker Robinson’s words

    “I’ve been hearing a lot from Purdue recently,” Robinson said. “Which is pretty cool for me, like I said my dad went there so he’s been rooting for me heavy to get that offer. Tennessee has been showing a lot of love, same with Clemson, too.

    “The biggest thing is the relationship that I have with the coaching staff. I want to play for a coach who believes in me and I want to play for a program that I believe in. I want to go to a school where I think we can make the tournament every year, and win it.

    The style of play will be important. I play outside-in a lot, get out in transition, and get easy buckets. I like playing in a system that plays freely and a lot in transition.”
