Jaxson Robinson impressed with Collin Chandler progress

[Smashcat]

UK’s star transfer played two seasons at BYU before coming to Lexington, and he compared Chandler’s progress to some of his former teammates during a one-on-one interview with the Herald-Leader. “Yeah, I’ve seen it plenty of times,” Robinson said. “Collin’s picking stuff up quickly. I haven’t seen anyone else move as fast and learn as fast as he is right now, when it comes to the ramp-up. So it’s been cool to see — just him figuring it out and being able to learn everything so quickly. Because it’s a lot of information, and he hasn’t touched the basketball a lot in two years. So, yeah, it’s pretty impressive to watch.”

Just put us in the Final Four and be done with it.

It's nice to see MEN on this team, and not a bunch of kids looking to avoid contact until draft day. Sorry, I know, sour grapes. But I didn't realize just how awful things were until Pope showed up.

Most interesting player we’ve brought in. Dont want to get into the religious stuff too much but I think it will give him a leg up. Inherently has less distractions than other freshmen because of his faith. I think it will pay some major dividends.

A comparison that we are all familiar with, while not entirely faith based, was Jamal Murray. It was well publicized how into daily meditation and visualization he was and he contributed a lot of his success, ability to adapt to the college game, and ability to remain calm and resolved to it. Meditation can take many forms…one of which can be a state of constant prolonged prayer.

Really excited about this kid, both for this year and for the next couple years to come.

Apparently no self-awareness during a loss.

Seems like he has a little Rex in his game. Can't wait to see him play.

I think we have a roster of good, high-character young men.

Eh...I had no problem with the effort 99% of the freshmen played with during Cal's tenure.

Even during the last four years, outside of the Sharpe fiasco, I didn't have any issues at all with the effort, hustle, and desire to win I saw out of our young guys.

If Pope decided to play mostly freshmen, I would have no problem with it.

This team is going to be much better that a lot of fans realize.
