Is Jaxson Robinson finally happening?

When Mark Pope first came to Kentucky, the immediate buzz was that BYU Cougars star Jaxson Robinson would eventually follow him to Lexington.

Now, Robinson is finally entering the transfer portal, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, who adds that the talented guard is considering a move to Kentucky (shocked face).

However, Robinson made it clear he will consider other programs, including a return to BYU.

“Although Coach Pope and I have a great relationship and had an amazing season this past year, it is important that I still explore what the best fit for me is,” Robinson said. “My recruitment is still 100% open.”

Coincidentally or not, new Kentucky assistant coach Cody Fueger tweeted this right before the news broke.

Robinson previously entered the NBA Draft this week.

This past season, Robinson averaged 14.2 points (42.6% shooting and 35.4% on 3-pointers), 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. He began his career at Texas A&M, transferred to Arkansas, then made his way to BYU, where he’s spent the last two seasons.

This is a big one, but my guess is Robinson won’t make a final decision for several weeks as he goes through the pre-draft process.
