“They’ve got a great program and they just keep winning and winning,” he added. “I keep telling all these kids in New York that if you work hard and stay focused, you can attend a school like Kansas.”
Mr. Robinson indicated that Robinson would have a ceremony later this weekend and would meet with family, friends and media during that time.
