Kansas officially out for Jaxson?
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
He'll be a walk-on for Kansas. Don't think they can have more than 15 players period though.
They may pursue him but he was never in. UK or nba outside shot byu.
Shelby's a combo guard who averaged 3 points/game last season.
His decision shouldn't sway Robinson at all.

Transferring from a D1 school to be a redshirt walk-on is…something.
Still looks like late 2nd round. Do we think he stays in the draft. Surely would make more at UK next year. If he does well, he will do very well post season tour making more $$.
Word is Self is pretty good about the keep away games with his rug. You need a good sport for a coach!
Probably a remora shark type deal, this is the only time he’ll ever be able to make money playing basketball. If he’s there for 3 years and just being on the Kansas roster gets you 50k-75k a year, I can see why.
Walk on here, KU staff feels good about getting one of:
Robinson
Furphy return
Or actually Javon Small who hasn’t signed with WVU
Could not tell you which is most likely but continue to agree Robinson spending his last year coming off the bench for KU to prepare for the NBA and improve stock is…interesting

Making more money that the average income in some places. This **** is a clown shown.
Not to be a hater but what NBA wings has self produced? Wiggins is the only one. Obaji and Braun are alright. Robinson going to be a bench player and take a fraction of the shots he would normally gets seems like a bad move
Don’t forget about Grady Dick and Ben McLemore. But I see a whole lot of busts. Kansas is exactly where to go if you want to prepare yourself to be delivering pizzas in about five years.
Grady still has the potential to be good, mclemore is a bust
Brandon Rush, when they won the title over Cal/Memphis. Also Kelly Oubre (doing well in the nba), Josh Jackson and Wayne Selden (i think was a wing).

I can't see Robinson going to KU as deep as they are. Playing time for who they already have is going to be interesting.
Add DICKinson and his ability to upend a locker room and you have a recipe for turmoil.
KU is deep, no doubt about it. Going to be interesting how Self navigates all those egos.

Playing 9 years and earning 31 mil isn't really a bust.
Embiid hadn't been mentioned. Both Morris Twins are in year 13 in the league.
Morris Twins and Embiid weren’t mentioned because the talk was about Kansas wings. I agree McLemore was not a bust
For sure what he was suppose to be he was a bust, Kentucky has plenty of busts as well. Both of us are gonna be biased. Robinson comes here he is the guy, he goes to Kansas he is the 4th or 5th option
oh Robinson is not ready for the fan reactions at UK or KU. both of our fan bases will doom like crazy with him if he's 42% fg and 35% 3pt with how many shots he takes while there are better shooters around him. Hope if he comes here we have him hire an elite shooting coach to help in the off season. Also bulk him up some so he can take contact attacking the rim to get his 2pt fg % upped
It sure is. It's pathetic. You've got them making more than nurses, teachers, firefighters, military, etc. Some people with the ability to make these decisions for the sport have some very screwed up priorities.
Something is up. Kansas probably figured out another way to cheat in the NIL era. Probably stealing tax payer money to pay every player $3mil. I'd laugh at that thought of that, if I honest to God didn't think Kansas might try to pull something like that.
Rush, Oubre, Henry, Wilson, Gradey all have found homes and had reasonable careers/starts. And McCullar will this year. Definitely no stars—but I couldn’t name many Pope has produced yet either haha. We certainly have not been an NBA pipeline atleast the last several years as I can’t even remember the last consensus top 20 player we have landed aside from Dick in the last 6-7 years.
I don’t think Robinson has the tools to be anything more than a good college player. But if he wants to showcase something new—I’d personally look somewhere away from both Pope and KUs crowded roster and find somewhere he can be THE guy
I am getting more confident Jaxson Robinson will end up at Kentucky unless Pope runs out of scholarships first. That could happen if Lanier were to commit to Kentucky in the next week and Pope has another plan for ride 13. We could still use another interior scorer in case of injuries and foul trouble. Pope already has enough guards.
I hope we get Robinson. It feels like Lanier is going to be at UT.
Which is why Pope has to take Lanier if he can get him. Rather have him playing for us than playing against us in orange, if that is what it comes down to. But I really want Jaxson Robinson because of his length and versatility.
While I agree with the sentiment (I’m a public high school teacher), no one would be getting paid any of these salaries if there wasn’t a demand. We’re the demand. Been that way since Ancient Greece. People love to watch other people run fast and jump high.
Fair, I just thought the whole self
Prepares and gets guys to the league thing is funny. Pope hasn’t gotten nba guys it’s a fair argument for sure. Kentucky has a clear starting spot waiting for him, Kansas doesn’t

The rug doctor is always up to something. Whether it is a quick trigger on crisis PR or keeping his players' proclivities under wraps, he always seems to deliver.
I am sure Self is at the bleeding edge in shady dealings to keep player coffers filled to the brim. He's a pioneer of sorts in that arena.

Why does it fell like Lanier is going to Tennessee? Almost every update from the people who actually know stuff has been positive for Kentucky.
Lanier squeezed in that visit to Tennessee and it might be 2 days instead of 1 like here? Is that correct? That’s what someone said on a Tennessee board.
It’s so difficult to figure things out now because of the influence of agents and NIL.

He is leaving Wednesday morning so I guess it’s 2 days, I wouldn’t really count tonight as as 2 days, really all 3 visits are 24 hour visits
The guy averaged 2 points a game. His only option was to walk on some where or go to a small school. I doubt he is getting enough NIL to cover his tuition
Because they're nervous about the Tennessee visit.
I'm not sure the order of visits matters. We landed Carr, and his last visit was to Villanova.
We landed Garrison, and he never visited campus. The same is true of Lamont Butler.
Tennessee is only an hour and a half to two hours from Lanier's family. I don't think they're going out of their way at all to visit UTK. It's right down the road.
If I was a UT coach or fan, I'd be terrified of Kentucky right now.
