Robinson to draft. Maybe grad transfer later

[Fox2monk]

No I agree, that BYU post from one of their media people is why I posted the thread he deleted the post but he said college wasn’t a option anymore but he deleted it, so it’s my bad. Pope will get a good team either way

Maybe he misunderstood, the fact he took it down is a good sign to me.

This isn't a surprise. His family has been pushing the NBA over a 4th college team. Pope tried convincing them UK was the right decision but it wasn't for them at this time. With that said as a grad student he can enter the portal at any time so the May 1st deadline means nothing to him. He had to apply for the draft by April 27th he has until May 29th to withdraw.

At least Pope has a leg up if he doesn’t get the info he likes.

Yeah no doubt, but if he Robinson is 38th or in that range I don’t blame him at all for getting a 2-way deal and leaving

Is he even on many boards? Or just that one?

That wasn’t my point. My point was it’s been reported for the last several days this was his likely destination. Hell Jones was saying it and he doesn’t know shite. So y’all acting like he was some lock to come here and now we lost out on him are being ridiculous.

This. He’s likely to wind up at UK imo.

Bleacher report has him goin 50, the one I saw 38. I would imagine he would do very well in workouts

Feels like were 0-50 today.

Don’t let 2-3 in here who have to let you know they are right all the time see this, they will say you are panicking and being to negative

Pope not bringing a group from BYU is a bit disappointing at this point.

God must have said not to, just to trick Mark.

I mean I read he was exploring a potential jump to the nba, so not so surprising. Ugonna declared, and a week or more later entered the transfer portal. I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. This just goes to show you that even at BYU, they wanna play in the league as quickly as possible. Pope has likely known about this, and planning for him to stay in the draft.

He has one more year of eligibility. He’s probably testing the waters to determine what he needs to focus on to improve his draft stock.

We better be glad Pope is not bringing a group from BYU. BYU could not compete with SEC teams. Auburn, Bama, Florida, & Tenn would eat their lunch. We need, want, and better get better talent than BYU had.

Robinson is precisely the type of guy that we want.

This might be true under certain circumstances, but UK doesn’t need a couple of guys to fill out their roster. They need 8-9. Even getting 2-3 of the BYU guys who know the system and played quality minutes in the Big 12 would be immensely beneficial for the Cats next year.

More panic porn about a known situation?

For why?
