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...

Memorial Day has come and gone, marking the unofficial start of summer. Even though it’s the “offseason” for football and basketball, there’s still a ton happening in the world of UK sports, chiefly Kentucky Baseball’s run in the NCAA Tournament. As the Bat Cats strive to reach the College World Series for the first time in program history, football and basketball players will also start arriving on campus for summer workouts. That’s just June. In July, basketball recruiting heats up at the Peach Jam, The Basketball Tournament (TBT) comes to Lexington, and football talking season kicks off in ...

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...

On Thursday, Kentucky head coach Mark Pope added his ninth transfer portal player, BYU’s Jaxson Robinson, to the Wildcats’ roster ahead of the 2024-25 season. Pope was facing a full-on rebuild when he accepted the job nearly two months ago, and he’s done a tremendous job of quickly turning nothing into a possible Top 25 group. Just how good of a job has he done? Well, according to our friend Evan Miyakawa of EvanMiya.com, Pope has crafted the fourth-best incoming transfer portal class in the country. Miyakawa ranks four of UK’s nine transfers as five-star prospects, four as four-stars, and one...

Mark your calendars, Big Blue Nation. The date of Mark Pope’s first head-to-head battle against Pat Kelsey and the Louisville Cardinals has been set. When will the Kentucky Wildcats host their bitter rivals down I-64? It’ll be an early one, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reporting that the matchup will take place on Saturday, December 14 at Rupp Arena. It’s the earliest the rivalry game has been played since 1993 when the Wildcats beat the Cardinals inside Rupp Arena 78-70 on November 27 — a top-10 matchup between Rick Pitino and Denny Crum. Tony Delk led the way with 19 points in that one, followe...

It’s looking more and more like Reed Sheppard will be a top-three selection when the 2024 NBA Draft opens on June 26 — conveniently Stacey Sheppard’s birthday — in Brooklyn. What better birthday gift for mom than going No. 3 overall to the Houston Rockets? That’s ESPN’s projection in a new mock draft released by Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, holding firm at three after rising to that spot in a previous update on May 12 following the lottery. He hasn’t been outside the top three since April 17 when he was previously projected to go No. 7 overall. Reed Sheppard goes No. 3 to HoustonNow, he’s s...

Jaxson Robinson is a Kentucky Wildcat. With the reigning Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year finally on board, new head coach Mark Pope has added a high-level scorer to his backcourt. Robinson’s addition gives Pope a dozen scholarship pieces heading into his debut season this fall. That means he has one more spot to work with. Where will he look to use it? Pope and his staff could take plenty of different angles for that 13th scholarship. He even mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the final spot would be a “floating piece”, meaning UK could target any number of prospects. Whether that be through th...

Are you excited for the season to start for Kentucky basketball? You’re not the only one, certainly not after Jaxson Robinson‘s decision to withdraw from the draft and follow Mark Pope to Lexington. It was the guy we all wanted from the beginning, the ultimate big fish to go from feeling good to great about this roster from top to bottom. Among the guys excited to see the Wildcats take the floor later this year? One of the guys set to play inside Rupp Arena himself, the best returning shooter in the nation coming from Dayton, Kobe Brea. Following Robinson’s commitment, he took to social media ...

You couldn’t really put a bow on the draft withdrawal deadline until one of the top players testing the waters made his decision official, Jaxson Robinson choosing whether to keep his name in and pursue his professional dreams or pull it out and return to school for one final year. Every other major announcement was made before midnight while the former BYU star’s lingered into the early afternoon on Thursday, surprising the basketball world with a withdrawal and immediate commitment to Kentucky. And with that, the draft list is official — no turning back to college now. While decisions are st...
