In the wake of coaching changes at the Siegel Center, 5' 8" point guard Keira Robinson has decided to transfer from VCU to Charlotte. The move will put Robinson, originally from Columbia, South Carolina, closer to her home.
Robinson played 32 games for the Rams this past season, averaging 11.4 points, 6.2 assists and 3.6 rebounds per contest, and was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Freshman team.
Just last Tuesday, VCU introduced former Stony Brook head coach Beth O'Boyle as their new court leader, replacing Marlene Stollings, who resigned to take the head coaching job at Minnesota. O'Boyle is the 13th head coach in VCU women's basketball history.
No official word yet on whether coaching changes, or simply a desire to be closer to home, are motivating factors for Robinson to head to the 49ers of Conference USA.
The Rams averaged 75.8 points per game last season. 33 of those points, on average, came from Robinson and now-graduated star Robyn Parks. Generating more offense from all the returnees will be a high priority of O'Boyle and her staff.
