Mykell Robinson | 6-6 | 190 | Wing | Houston, Texas | Sunrise Christian Academy
DENTON — The North Texas men's basketball team and its head coach Grant McCasland on Wednesday finalized the National Letter of Intent signing of 6-foot-6 wing Mykell Robinson who joins the Mean Green from prep school Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kansas.Â
Robinson, who grew up in the Houston area and played AAU basketball with UNT November signee Rubin Jones, led Sunrise Christian to the 2020 Geico High School Nationals. Sunrise Christian finished the year 22-3 and ranked No. 4 in the nation by MaxPreps and No. 5 by ESPN.
A three-star recruit by most recruiting services, Robinson joined SCA after leading Pro-Vision Academy to a Texas Christian Athletic League state title in 2019.Â
Robinson joins a UNT recruiting class that so far includes soon-to-be Yates High School graduate Rubin Jones who signed with the Mean Green in November. Junior college transfer Mardrez McBride and fellow prep school graduate Abou Ousmane signed on Wednesday as well. It's a recruiting class that Rivals ranks No. 1 in Conference USA, No. 5 in the state of Texas and No. 53 in the nation.
UNT is the defending 2020 C-USA regular season champions after going 14-4 in league play at beating Western Kentucky 78-72 in overtime in Denton on March 1. It was the program's best league record in its 57-year history as a D1 program and its first conference league title in 31 years. Returning guard Javion Hamlet was named the league's player of the year.Â
