Diavan Robinson Now a Roadrunner
Diavian Robinson, a guard from Clarenceville High School in Livonia, Michigan, has signed her NJCAA Letter of Intent to play women's basketball in 1st Source Bank Fieldhouse for Coach Jay Jenkins and the Roadrunners starting in Fall 2025.
Coach Doc Cornell of Clarenceville said, "Dee is one of the hardest working players I've ever seen or coached. Her motor and IQ for the game is incredible." Coach Jenkins added, "We are excited to add a phenomenal guard like Dee to our back court."
Robinson is the first member of the 2025 SMC Women's Basketball recruiting class.
In Jenkins' first season as coach and the program's second year back in intercollegiate competition after a 26-year hiatus, the 2023-2024 squad won the MCCAA Western Conference. The team then won the Great Lakes District B Tournament, earning a berth at the NJCAA National Championship in Joplin, Missouri, where they went 1-1, finishing the season at 27-5. SMC set numerous school and individual records, including single game scoring (111), team two-point FG made in a game (43), team free throws made in a game (21), fewest points allowed in a game (18), team assists in a game (31), team rebounds in a game (67) and team steals in a game (25).
This year, the Roadrunners are currently 16-8 and 10-2 at home, fourth in the Western Conference.
