I thought we lost him. Man, I love this roster!
Jaxson commits

- Start date
Exactly. Now I’m not gonna be a hypocrite, if poplar & Riley want to come here I wouldn’t hate it.

This is a satisfying commitment. Rival fans and some of our own were dreadful.
We’re already golden but there was a lot of detailed talk about Watkins here this morning leading right up to when Robinson committed and taking them both would make us extremely overpowered. My comment was mostly joking but there’s not actually anything wrong with being extremely overpowered.
Lamont Butler ain’t bad. Similar vibes.
I was 15 when Batman debued.Let's ball
I still watch it with my grandkids.
Mark Pope under crisis has performed magnificently Kentucky is in great hands
Here comes the Boom Here comes the Boom ready or not - love the pickup. Kid was Big 12 Sixth man of the year, betting he comes off the bench for KY also. Now get Riley Coach.
You should trademark that "no news is good news line". That's gold and I've never heard anyone use that before.
Yeah competing for PT and in practice is going to be turned up a notch. Pass up a shot, bench. Don’t go after a 50/50 ball, bench. Getting beat on D, bench.
My gut says this team will have a relentless effort all over the court.
He will be a great addition to the team. But the best part about it for me is maybe it will chill out some of the more negative posters on here. If I never hear, "we need a dude" again it will be too soon.
Awesome news to make another otherwise crappy Workday better!
This is the dude Pope had to get and lock down. I think Robinson makes UKs ceiling much higher next season as he knows the system.

we know the usual suspects are going to go that route. I dont think we need to be psychic to see it coming lol
Yes! And just think how much better they will get practicing against each other. And our freshmen get a wonderful opportunity to practice and play with all of these veterans who have been there and seen it all. Exciting times!
"Mr. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me."
Terrific job by Pope to reel him in without other visit. Sounds like BYU was going to break the bank and Kansas also had a big offer.
I think there’s a chance that 2-3 will have better than expected years, then 2-3 will have sub-par years for whatever reasons. I don’t think we can expect every guy to come in here and kill it from the jump. We just need find our solid 5-6 guys then 2 go-to guys. Hopefully out of the bunch, we have those.

I don't always agree with you, but I perceive you to be real and not plastic.
Appreciate your posts.
With most of our guys on pretty much the same level talent wise, according to what they offer, would it be realistic to go with different starters from time to time at the one, two or three according to who we are playing and matchups? Seven seniors and two sophomores that have all that experience and are talented. Just seems we could do a lot of interchanging with a team like this and keep opponents off balance with how to prepare and how to matchup.

this team should click/peak at the right time too.
i can see Pope recruiting to a level slightly higher than Mark Few at Gonzaga.

"If we miss on Robinson, we failed to land one top 20 portal transfer.
That's disappointing. I don't have a very high expectation for next year, with or without Robinson, but you have to admit that there's not much buzz with this collection of players. Hopefully they come together like that 2004 team did.

Opinions change a lot in 3 hours...
You aren't wrong. However, surprises are much less likely when you are dealing with veteran players who you've seen play 3-4 years in college versus players right out of high school.
If I had to take an uneducated guess, I would guess that Pope will play a lot of different lineups and combinations near the beginning of the season and use analytics to determine what is the most effective to drill down on.
