The 6-foot-8 power, 235-pound power forward is rated the No. 18 overall senior prospect according to 247Sports. He tallied 21.9 points per game last season in piloting Bishop Miege (Shawnee Mission, Kan.) to a state championship. Robinson-Earl was also a MaxPreps Junior All-American in 2017-18.
He chose the Wildcats over his home state, the Kansas Jayhawks.
Robinson-Earl is the second five-star recruit from the Class of 2019 to commit to Villanova, joining Bryan Antoine, of Ranney (N.J.).
