Ugh. Terrible shame, far too young.

Didn't realize he was a UConn grad. Was he one of Calhoun's first big recruits?

He might’ve been Calhoun’s first splash recruit, certainly. Played many years in the association of course.
Uconn hoops has had a rough couple of months with Stanley Robinson and now Cliff Robinson (no relation). Condolences to his family.

Terrible run for Connecticut. Too young.

I can’t stand UCONN, but what absolute sadness to see two super young deaths in such a short amount of time.

He came to UConn in 1985. Calhoun was hired in 1986. That means Cliff was recruited by Dom Perno.

RIP Cliff. Dude played some really good ball for my Blazers back then. Horrible to see at such a young age. Damn.

So sad to hear. UConn nation has had a tough stretch with this stuff.

 

[Gotothehole]

Rip too soon

Yep, I stand corrected. It was Calhoun who got the max out of him though, and I remember he was the guy who made you take notice of Connecticut. He hit a free throw on some bogus call to beat us one time.

87-88 I believe. UConn won 51-50 in one of the ugliest games ever.

Uncle Cliff. This year just needs to end. Rip Uncle Cliff.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Just a terrible stretch for Uconn and it’s fans. RIP Cliff and RIP Sticks.

Sad. I grew up in Portland and met Cliff and he was really nice and kind. He would stop and talk to kids. Him and Jerome Kersey were amazing at this. I met Jerome Kersey at the Portland auto show and he walked and talked to me about cars for 15 minutes straight. I was in 4th grade.

Very sad year for UConn. Cause of Cliff's death was lymphoma

Just had a colleague pass of lymphoma about a month ago. He battled it for a few years though.

Just can't get 2020 over soon enough.

Sad. He was a great player.
