Kentucky basketball coach had to cobble together an entire roster for this coming season, mostly out of transfers. He added a number of talented players, with former BYU wing Jaxson Robinson among them.
Robinson was a big addition, and not only brings scoring ability, but he played under Pope at BYU and knows the system. Pope and Kentucky fans were delighted to get a commitment from him.

College basketball analyst Andy Katz recently ranked the best wings in the country, and he placed Robinson tenth. Robinson clearly think he should be higher, and posted on the social platform X “Keeping receipts.”
Duke Blue Devils super-recruit Cooper Flagg tops the list. AJ Storr of Kansas, Johnell Davis of Arkansas, and Ace Bailey of Rutgers are among the other names Katz has ranked ahead of Robinson.
Last season, for BYU, Robinson averaged 14.2 points per game, mostly as a sixth man. He’s looking to be even better this season, and he’s looking to prove Andy Katz wrong.
