Are we getting any smoke signals yet about Robinson’s decision or when/if he will make an announcement. I know he is probably waiting to see who drops out to make a decision. But, we are getting down to the wire here. Surely someone is hearing something?
Any Smoke Signals Yet?
- Thread starter NerlensCat
- Start date
I hate that. I probably won’t get any work done today😬😬
That kind of reads as Pilgrim not being as confident on Robinson now.
I wonder if that is just him being more confident in what Robinson brings to the table or how it fits in the system vs the coaching staff making sure we don’t miss out on both.
I’ve been feeling for awhile that BYU is a bigger player than ppl are crediting.
They have their new shiny NBA connected coach, selling the Cal method “we are going to prioritize getting guys to the nba” nonsense.
Reports have said they have some big boosters that have decided to hop into the bidding war scene…that’s how they landed on Lanier’s final 3.
Robinson had Initially expressed concern with moving again for a single year and essentially said that’s why the NBA was priority 1 even if he could get an early 2nd round guarantee.
There is also the grass is greener effect of “I’ve learned and developed under Pope already, let’s get more well rounded and see what this guy coming from the NBA can teach me that’s I haven’t seen yet”
Seems like he’d be happy taking the BYU money, staying where he is already established, being “the guy” and focal point of that roster playing in the B12 so plenty of chances to showcase, with the new coach selling NBA dreams.
Sounds like he’s doing a workout first and then deciding
Yes he’s working out for Milwaukee. His last chance
The update kinda of read like Kentucky not being the clear choice if he comes back.
Exactly it sounds like he’s going to do some visits if he does come back. Hope it’s all wrong and he decides to come back and commits to UK today….
Not sure who this is but this is on X(twitter).

I'd like to get Jax but won't be disappointed as long as we get Riley or some other popular player.

Looks a few notable names haven’t withdrawn yet.. Davis that’s going to Arkansas is one…
I hope Davis stays in just to screw up Cal's "master plan."
Me too especially after Wagner just committed a couple days ago.
Plus, Cal just whiffed on that foreign kid. Would be nice to follow that disappointment up with Davis staying in the draft. It would give Arkansas that natural "OAD" flavor that torturously chokes out the soul.
That could explain why Wagner waited to commit. Maybe Davis has already told Cal he is staying in.
Oh yea anything that would put a damper on Cal and the Hogs I’m down for…
That guy has failed so much in the last few weeks. You'd think he'd just go away to a quiet corner after all of his horrific projections that have gone wrong.
Joe Adam’s don’t know squat idk why anyone posts his tweets, he makes Trilly seem like THE insider honestly.
Why would it take a few weeks? He is not in school and he really only needs to talk to the new BYU staff. It isn’t like he needs to see their campus. It will come down to who else is in the equation Ky, Al, Ar, etc. I would think he wants this decision to come pretty quick. There is a point where teams have filled their roster and the money dries up. Take a couple of visits and make a decision. Of course, I have a vested interest in him making the call quickly. I need to get back to work😊
Pope: I can get the kid to drop the NBA draft and pay us a visit. It’ll take a few weeks.
Ulysses Everett McGill (Kentucky fan): A few weeks? That don’t do me no good.
Pope: Next school up, though, is BYU, and there's always Fop Poplar.
Ulysses Everett McGill (Kentucky fan): Hold on, I don’t want this other kid. I want Dapper Robinson.
Pope: I can't quite guarantee Dapper Robinson, I can only recommend Fop Poplar.
Ulysses Everett McGill(Kentucky fan): Well, I don’t want Fop Poplar, g*****n it! I’m a Dapper Robinson man!
Pope: Watch your language, young feller, this is a public NIL market. Now if you want Dapper Robinson, I can work on it for you, have him here on a visit in a few weeks.
Ulysses Everett McGill (Kentucky fan): Well, ain’t this place a geographical oddity. A few weeks from everywhere!
Pilgrim is making a lot updates that don’t sound overall great for Kentucky. They sound like a return to BYU is a lot stronger than everybody is acting like
