Iowa women's basketball offers top-10 2028 recruit Arianna Robinson
Iowa WBB has offered '28 four-star guard Arianna Robinson (Plano East HS, TX)Rated as the #10 player in the country by offers from Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Kansas State and Kentucky. Iowa women's basketball added another name to their impressive list of prospects by extending an offer to 2028 four-star guard Arianna Robinson on Thursday. At 5-foot-10, the Texas native currently stars for Plano East High School's varsity squad, competes for the Nike ProSkills 17U EYBL and recently won gold as part of USA Basketball's national team at the U16 Women's AmeriCup. Robinson is already highly thought of in the 2028 cycle, checking in as the No. 10 overall recruit in ESPN's 2028 SportsCenter NEXT-Terrific 25. In her lone varsity season so far for Plano East, Robinson averaged an impressive 20.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game through en route to All-Area Player of the Year honors from The Dallas Morning News. In addition to Iowa, Robinson has also received offers from other premier women's college basketball programs, including Texas, Michigan State, USC, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Kansas State, and Kentucky. As she continues to receive offers and eventually schedule visits as a part of her recruitment process over the next year or so, Iowa hopes its recent success over the past five seasons and upward trajectory under head coach Jan Jensen will entice Robinson to join the program. 28' Arianna Robinson (@arirobinson_) is a high level two-way performer that has been very impressive at U16 AmeriCup with Team USA 🇺🇸read more+: | @btnscouting | @usabjnt Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Iowa news, notes, and opinions.

NFL Top 100: Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson is No. 62, faces the Cardinals in 2025
The Cardinals will face Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, another 'NFL Top 100' opponent for them. This week, the NFL had its fourth week of revealing players in the "NFL Top 100." This week was about revealed Nos. 61-70. Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride came in at No. 65. On Friday, two Cardinals opponents for 2025 rounded out the week. Coming at No. 62 was Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, his debut in the top 100. Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith, who was Robinson's teammate in 2023, described him as "AI (Allen Iverson) with the ball in his hands. "The way he's able to manipulate cuts, it doesn't look like they are things the human body can do" Guard Chris Lindstrom, the standout guard on the Falcons, raved about Robinson as a person and a teammate. Matt Judon, who played for the Falcons last season, said, "Bijan with the ball is pure poetry." Even Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had good things to say. "I think Bijan's the next great one," he said. "Bijan is definitely the next great one." The Arizona native (from Tucson) had 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024, and he had 61 receptions for 431 yards and another score. When the Cardinals played the Falcons and Robinson in 2023, the return of quarterback Kyler Murray to the lineup, Robinson had 95 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 25-23 Cardinals win. The Cardinals will play the Falcons at home in Week 16, their final home game of the regular season, and will have to handle Robinson when playoff berths and division titles could be on the line.

Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips calls teammate 'a future Defensive Player of the Year candidate'
Jaelan Phillips has only played a handful of games with Chop Robinson, but he's seen enough of the Miami Dolphins' 2024 first-round pick to feel like he's a star in the making. "I truly feel like Chop is going to be one of the best players in the league very soon," Phillips told reporters Friday. "I think he already is supremely talented, but the more comfortable he gets, the more confident he gets, and everything he's doing, I think he's a future Defensive Player of the Year candidate." Robinson, 22, was forced into a significant role as a rookie with Bradley Chubb unavailable all year due to a knee injury suffered late in the 2023 season. The Dolphins became even more reliant on the first-year pass rusher when Phillips suffered a season-ending knee injury of his own in Week 4. But after a slow start with zero sacks in September and October, Robinson emerged as one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers in the back half of the 2024 season. Between Weeks 10 and 18, Robinson was credited with 42 quarterback pressures by PFF, second most over that stretch behind only the Dallas Cowboys' four-time Pro Bowl rusher Micah Parsons. With Chubb and Phillips both healthy and in training camp, the Dolphins are hopeful that finally having the trio at Anthony Weaver's disposal will result in chaos in opposing backfields. "I think you'll see things open up a little more, so it will be exciting," Phillips told reporters in June. "[Robinson's] improvement from last year to this year is like so noticeable, it's insane. Especially if you really know the nitty gritty of it, so I'm really proud of Chop, really excited to see how he's going to keep progressing. Obviously, Bradley (Chubb) looks great, I feel really good. It's going to be fun.' The Dolphins finished the 2024 season with 35 sacks, sixth fewest in the NFL.
