No big surprise, likely used UK to leverage a few more bucks from the Vols.
Now let's go get Robinson and Poplar. We have 2 spots left.

Cool, let’s get Robinson.
Lanier is a good player, don’t get me wrong. But we have more guard power than forward/versatile pieces so Robinson is the better fit as a scorer and Swiss Army knife if it’s one or the other

Also is already familiar with Popes system.
Need to land Robinson now.
It is not a huge miss. When this began UK wasn’t even in the running for him. Go watch his games and ask yourself, he’s not that great at all. I think he’ll be fairly average at UT. Seems like an okay guard but doesn’t do anything spectacular. I’m not sure his game will translate as much as people think into this league. This is not a situation like Dalton where you could clearly see he’s the real deal.
Robinson is who we really need to get and always has been. And the poster with multiple accounts continuing to post the same crap spread across all of the accounts doesn’t change it.

Yeah it was. Lanier was a bucket getter that we could’ve used.

What a stupid post.
if you look at his gamelog the teams he went off against were terrible and the solid teams he went against he was pretty mediocre. we'll be all good if we get robinson anyways we were never getting both.
Well we’re going to get to see aren’t we? I’ve already saved the thread.

No sir you will see when he is average, Not a D K player at all.
I see the we didn't want him anyway crowd is out.
I went back and looked at a few of his games and looked at his production across the board of all games. It is far from a huge miss. I think he’ll be an average guard in the SEC. He’ll be a good shooter but defensively sufficient I doubt it. Tennessee is going depend on him to fill a massive role and this guy is no Dalton that is a fact.
I would have taken him sure. He would have added some versatility. But we don’t have the time UT had been on him tampering since the beginning of last season. We’ve had a coach a few months and of course the NIL plays a role.
people should just go back and look at his games and his production in games / numbers. I’m too lazy to throw it all together here but I didn’t come away all that impressed for someone people / same poster are claiming is a must get.
Just follow this formula
Everyone who signs with UK=Sneaky good 1st team all american talent, who fits the system perfectly
Everyone who UK misses on=Not that good, can't shoot, played in a weak conference, weak numbers.
Pope had over 30 targets to fill 13 spots. He was destined to have at least 17 misses. I don’t know that this one is any more huge than other ones. I think Lanier is a good player. I think we’ve got 11 good players and we’ll get 1 or 2 more.
Go look at all my posts. Did not want him and those of you that think he is all that are in my opinion wrong.
Sucks, but knew this was the likely outcome when he left his visit here without committing
Of course we wanted him. We made our pitch and he chose UT. I mean what more can Pope do. Lanier likely used us to get a few more bucks from the Vols. It's only business right.
Let's go get Robinson and Poplar.
I love how the guys who excuse every miss we ever make in the portal are definitely going to be the first to call for CMP's head once we start losing games Kentucky isn't supposed to lose. I have seen it time after time.
Make no mistake he would have been a good get, time to get Robinson or Poplar would be nice too. should have plenty of cash left to do it.

Well some of the posts above you are saying he's not that good and they didn't want him.
No surprise … he knows he wouldn’t get the minutes here that he will get at Tenn.
I don't know how long it's going to take all of you. The fact is we aren't getting the NIL support from boosters that the teams with elite rosters are getting. plain and simple. Everyone who lied to us and said we do is just trying to string the con on for longer so they can extract more money from us.
It's only a miss if we don't get Robinson. Getting both would've meant losing a better player than Lanier already committed.
I could care less if he is a huge loss or a little loss or no loss. He is not a UK player. On to Robinson, etc. I'll be curious if Otega matches up against him this season and how that goes. Otega is a good offensive player but is really stout defensively and stronger, so we'll see what happens. Otega or Robinson or almonor in his face all game will not be pleasant.
If they get Robinson or poplar it’s not
He would have had all the minutes he wanted here.
