The one the Big Blue Nation and the Kentucky basketball program had been waiting for finally arrived on Thursday. BYU wing Jaxson Robinson committed to Kentucky after withdrawing his name from the 2024 NBA Draft. The latest addition for the Wildcats was a big one. The 2023-24 Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year led the Cougars in points (14.2), field goals (164), and three-point field goals (81). Despite coming off the bench, Robinson ranked second on the team in minutes (26.4) on .426/.354/.908 shooting splits. The super senior will now play for Mark Pope for the third year in a row after announcing...

Let’s try this again, shall we? The Sources Say Draft Withdrawal Deadline Special was a beautiful disaster, two-plus hours of nonsense into early Thursday morning. The deadline came and went with no news from BYU star Jaxson Robinson regarding his future plans, deciding whether to pursue his professional dreams or explore his transfer options with a return to college. No news led to talk of bench pressing Pat Kelsey, whether or not SpaghettiOs is soup and what we’d do to go to prison, among other ridiculous topics. It was an all-time episode that closed with the worst game of virtual Rock, Pap...

Good things come to those who wait. Some may call Big Blue Nation crazy or hypersensitive. We may prefer passionate, but the answer is likely a healthy mix of all three. The last 24-48 hours have certainly been a rollercoaster of emotions for Kentucky fans. Wednesday evening’s 11:59 p.m. NBA Draft withdrawal deadline came and went with zero news from Jaxson Robinson. Then, over 12 hours later, there was still absolutely nothing other than message board threads and anxious Twitter comments. However, just after 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, fans of the Wildcats got what they had been waiting for sinc...

‘BOOM’ has taken a life of its own at Kentucky this offseason with Cody Fueger, a new assistant who followed Mark Pope to UK, posting it in the form of a gif on social media every time that the Wildcats have earned a commitment thus far. However, following the news that Jaxson Robinson, who played for Pope and Fueger at BYU, would also be coming to Lexington, he reversed it back on his former coaches. Again, ‘BOOM’ has been said and posted a lot this offseason with 11 players committing to UK so far. Robinson, the 12th addition as of today, though, came with one of the best ones yet. On his In...

The wait is over, all of that late-night panicking for nothing: Jaxson Robinson is a Kentucky Wildcat. The BYU star blew through the midnight withdrawal deadline without making a peep, leaving folks on the NBA and NCAA sides in the dark regarding his intentions. He didn’t technically have to announce anything if he were keeping his name in the draft, leading to some speculation he was giving the old Irish Goodbye to college basketball. Others thought he was deep in negotiations with schools involved and planned to align his withdrawal announcement with a college commitment, cutting out an exte...

Mark Pope has landed the Big Fish. BYU guard Jaxson Robinson pulled his name out of the 2024 NBA Draft pool ahead of the Wednesday night deadline and is transferring to the Kentucky Wildcats, he tells ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. Robinson will play his fifth and final college season in Lexington. He chose UK over the likes of Kansas and a return to BYU. Clocking in as a 6-foot-7 guard, Robinson was named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24 for BYU after averaging a team-high 14.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 26.4 minutes per outing. He shot 42.6 percent from the field, 35.4 percen...

The Draft Combine has officially wrapped up, but the pre-draft process is only just beginning. With a little over a month until the 2024 NBA Draft in Brooklyn, there is still plenty of time left for draft hopefuls to make a case to all 30 franchises. A couple of players with Kentucky connections still have some room to improve if they intend to hear their names called on Draft Night. On Friday morning, ESPN draft experts Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo unveiled an updated Top 100 rankings list for all players currently going through the draft process. As has been the case for several months now...

The 2024 NBA Draft (which will take place over the course of two days for the first time ever) is just a little over a month away. On June 26 and 27 in Brooklyn, the Atlanta Hawks will kick off the draft with the first overall pick. Now that the NBA Draft Lottery and NBA Combine are behind us, fresh mock draft updates are popping up more and more. As has been the case for several months now, Kentucky freshmen guards Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham continue to trend as Top 10 projected draft picks. But what about Justin Edwards and Antonio Reeves, who both had impressive performances during la...

One of the final remaining vacancies on Mark Pope’s first Kentucky basketball roster could be filled by one of the first players mentioned to potentially follow him to Lexington. Jaxson Robinson is spending his week competing against other prospective pros at the NBA Combine. His old BYU coach, Mark Pope, made the trip to Chicago to watch him in a scrimmage. Once the action concluded, Robinson shared a few interesting comments in a conversation with the Herald-Leader’s Ben Roberts. “Just him showing up alone — that says a lot. He didn’t have to do that,” Robinson said. “I mean, he’s at Kentuck...

An important deadline for Kentucky’s roster build just got even more important. May 1 is the deadline for players to enter the transfer portal, aka notify their current schools they may leave. According to Jeff Borzello, that date now also applies to graduate transfers, who previously had no deadline to enter the portal. The NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved the change on Monday and it is effective immediately. What does this mean for Kentucky, which is building a roster from scratch? With a few exceptions (which we’ll cover in a minute), graduate transfers now have to enter the port...
