Happy Tuesday morning everyone!
New Kentucky Wildcats head basketball coach Mark Pope has been working non-stop to build a strong roster for his season in Lexington as a leader.
Pope has made numerous veteran transfers and has also had all kinds of conversations with some of the best players in high school.
That being said, there is still one big name that Pope and company are waiting to hear from and that is former BYU star Jaxson Robinson.
At this time, Robinson has his name in the upcoming NBA Draft, but he is still weighing the option of retiring and returning to the world of college basketball next season.
That decision must be made by the May 29 deadline.
There’s a good chance Robinson keeps his name in the NBA Draft, but if he doesn’t, there’s a good chance he’ll use his final year of eligibility to play for Coach Pope in Lexington.
