PERSONAL: 

From Sacramento, Calif. … teammates call him “Big Rob”… hopes to take his skills acquired from Santa Clara and play professionally in the NBA ... communication major.

Coach Keating on Robert:

"We've recruited Robert for a long time and it has been great to see his improvement over that time. He is a willing defender and rebounder already, and a great teammate to boot. He comes from a great program and his coaches have done a tremendous job bringing Robert to this point. Our team is excited to have Robert in the family and anytime we can add 6-11 and 240 to the mix, good things abound."

Why Robert Chose Santa Clara:

"Honestly from the minute I stepped on campus on my visit the coaches and players made me feel like family.  I loved that feeling when I came on campus.  As a player, I feel like it's a perfect fit for me.  I have seen the work Santa Clara has done with big men, like John Bryant, and I'm excited to be a Bronco."
