I've been a BBN fan all my life as I see it we already have a winning team. Pope is a coach that can take what we've got and develop a pg during the off season. Don't knock Perry he's got what it takes and Brea, kriisa . Hey we are going to surprise alot of people and alot of teams. Get on board with what we've got and support them. Have hope in Pope , he knows what he's doing.
Robinson who is we need and want. It's clear the UK knew that Lanier was going to UT . That's fine Robinson is what we need. A person who can take over the game. I can easily see him averaging over 22 plus with UK. If you look at teams that make it to the final 4 we have analytically what it takes to make a championship team. Love how Coach Pope is working this lineup. A lot more muscle, defensive prowess, and shooters who can win. Excited about this upcoming season. Sick of one and done including the NCAA tournament 5/6 years.
I hope we can get Robinson and this Riley kid in our last two spots. Don't wanna have to completely reload again next year. We would have a very good veteran team this year and Chandler, Noah, Garrison, Perry and Riley to build around for the future.
@@brooksgorman3285Your football program is irrelevant it’s been what 25 years 💩🗑️ And it’s sad to say your favorite thing to watch all year is your basketball team who hasn’t came close to the final four….HA go to bed we’re your Daddy’s
Lanier was my first choice. He was so efficient. Jaxson Robinson is my second choice. I’m not as high on Poplar. He takes too many bad shots and often jacks up a lot of missed shots.
Yeah I agree but the team he was on was a big part of that, in popes system he can spot up more he offers more defensively than Chaz or Jaxson. With Vision not coming to Kentucky it leaves the door open for Wooga or Jackson or both or one and a reclass I want Jackson but Wooga is a better shooter and he’s a really good athlete I think you will have to give him a lot of money but now you have enough for both of them we might lose someone if we get both of them but I’d be ok with that as long as it’s not Koby or Lamont Butler. Ansley knew he might not have a big role and Brandon Garrison is only a sophomore Jaxson has the most positional value my guess is if Jaxson pulls out that’s the main priority but they still want Wooga on a visit and Wooga did have a great game against last year then fought through injury
I wanted Robinson and Poplar more than Lanier. We already have great guards, and Lanier has only had one good year ever. Let's see if he can do it in the SEC. Robinson and Poplar have already proved they can do it on this level.
I liked Chaz, but I like Poplar a lot too. They were about even on my list. In order, I wanted Lanier, Poplar, Robinson. They’re all great players though. I’d be happy to have any of them. Either of them would probably thrive with this roster. They can be a little more selective in their shots, and would have good facilitators to set them up for good looks. I don’t think we NEED any of these guys. But getting one of them would be a beautiful thing. 🙌
Poplar turns the ball over too much for my liking, he almost had as many turnovers as assists. But I like his physicality on defense. Chaz is the better shot creator which I think Kentucky is missing. But him and Robinson would be a good combo for us to get. Prolly the best available
@@MmaRicky I think Poplar would have less turnovers with this roster. He wouldn’t have to be THE guy, so he could just focus on taking good looks when they come and passing to other really good players when his shots not there. I think the difference in roster and coaching would really make the difference. I’m a little sad Chaz signed with Tennessee, but Poplar and Robinson are still great options! Probably will only he’ll get one of them though.
We only have one spot left. But someone told me privately that is a HUGE Booster for UK that they can use this NIL deal to let the kid pay his own way. Idk if that's true or if they could get one player to do that but id sure like to have them both on next years team
@@harveyblevins74 we actually have two spots left right now. We was trying to get both Lanier and Robinson. After the dead period is over which is June 7th Wooga Poplar will be coming for a visit he announced yesterday. They was going to leave that last spot for a 4 year person that could come in and redshirt but if Poplar comes Pope will go ahead and fill it now.
How do you know they are 'all in' on Robinson? They can't talk about players by name who have not committed. I agree with you, I do think they want Robinson. That leaves one open scholarship. I think Pope 'knows' what Robinson wants to do. Obviously, Robinson will have to ultimately decide in a couple days. So we have at least one more or 2 if Robinson goes to the NBA.
I was hoping we could land both Lanier and Robinson, but I think we can get Robinson IF he pulls out of the NBA Draft. Looks like he'll be the guy we go after now. I just hope he's the scorer we think he is. He came off the bench for some reason for Coach Pope at BYU. You'd think that being the best player on that team that he would've been the starter. I hope he's the player we think he is, but you don't come off the bench for no reason if you're really "THE guy".
@@terryrodman6026Yes I did. We were terrible defensively and other than Reeves, our other 2 best players were coming off the bench. It was stupid. Reed and Rob should have started beside Antonio Reeves. I know we'll be better. I just hope these new guys are as good as they seem they're going to be. After last season I am not optimistic about any team until we see them on the court though. I'm done getting my hopes up ahead of the games. I get that Lanier is a bad defensive player, but we seem to have recruited defensive guys around him. That's why I wanted Lanier. Can Jaxson Robinson be efficient enough though as an offensive player? I'm not sure. If he comes off the bench again for Pope like he did at BYU, will he get enough shots to be our offensive "go-to guy"? That's why I am skeptical about Robinson. It's about how much he'll actually touch the ball. Will he get enough opportunities?
Its funny all the kentucky comments were how chaz was a wildcat and how good he was then he chooses tenn and hes not good or we wanted Miami guard more come on eeally lol
Dudes a solid player, but complete idiot to choose Tennessee over Kentucky. Probably came down to TN offered a bigger bag. Uk currently has better shooters, Chaz wasn’t a must get but would’ve been nice, Robinson already knew popes system so I’ve always thought he was a better fit considering that Robinson could help pope with in regards to helping the team, and in return Robinson will be playing on one of the biggest stages in college ball. Some players can’t handle the lights and cameras, Chaz made the best choice for him, just wasn’t the best choice he had available. Oh well, on to the next one
@@andyship1800 ok now i cant take u serious almost anyone that knows college basketball knows ut roster is better and we havent got drop in first round like 3 out of 4 last years dude ur lieing to urself if u think kentucky basketball is what it once was lol
Robinson obviously was always the best fit, and that's not a knock on Lanier. It's just that Robinson knows the system already and is closer than Lanier to being pro-ready, which is why we're all still waiting for his draft decision.
@JohnSmith_1 UK says got him in the fold and love him , then lose "x" player to rival for less money and you all are like oh this less talented guy is a better fit now, we didn't even want the guy we almost double payed what UT did but he came to get better and be a team player not some flash in the pan at UK and win nothing and not improve either.
Jaxson Robinson only averaged 8pts a game in about 30 mins a game (last year). Chaz didn’t even get a chance to play 20 mins a game 2 years ago! Whenever he did get around 25+ mins a game he averaged almost 20pts a game on efficient numbers! Lanier was definitely a top 5 player and most likely will be big time
Hey bbn if we somehow miss on Robinson I believe we go all in on will riley reclass I'm not big on wooga he tents to hog the ball and that's not what popes system is built for it's built for ball movement so the ball don't get stuck we really need a physical go get me a bucket guy and that's clearly Robinson but we may already have that guy on the roster in Coby brea so I'm excited to c where we go from here but love your show lance dawe
I get the point that Chaz was efficient but it was for literally one year and look at the competition he was going against lol. His g league combine numbers looked nowhere close to what he did in college last year but closer to what he did his first 3 years
The “high caliber guys” are probably mostly looking to show off their individual skills for the league or make the biggest bag they can while still in college - that’s roll it out there Cal ball, not learning a system like Pope has. Probably. Much rather have a team of hungry guys who are willing to play hard and play to win and do what is asked of them instead of being babysat until June, running around playing with jewelry and talking to girls at the mall when they could be getting shots up, hitting the weight room, learning the playbook, etc. Hell I don’t know.
@@jt1765 You do realize this is entire new era for college sports. It's all about money for every athlete now. Cal went after 5 star freshman who were going to be one and done. They were inexperienced and rarely did it work out. You're going to have to fork out money to get some decent players in this era. Not just 5 star freshman. I mean, run of the mill players are getting 2 million out of the portal. It's crazy but that's the reality now
You guys are Hilarious, all in on a kid that played at Arkansas for one year. He looked Scared, like a deer in headlights. His lights out Shooting never came to Fruition. Then he goes to BYU and is their Leading Scorer against NO COMPETITION. He is a good kid and i wish him well
Kentucky should be good next year but chaz made more since yall need a bucket getter, im a hog fan and seen a lot of Jaxson Robinson at ark he can shoot but not great in isolation.
Jaxson has always been my 1st choice over Chaz. Chaz had ONE phenomenal year after previously average years at best at a low mid-major. He is no Dalton Knecht.
Wow, never thought UK would get get beat out for a top player by tenn..smh. i hope we can find a good G from somewhere, 3 isnt enough, just Robinson isnt going to get us where Pope was hired to get us too.
He’s got all the tools to be a great player. Hell look at dalton Knecht he played for northern Colorado which was awful he was arguably the best college player last year at least top 5. If u think Lanier wil suck u either aren’t familiar with his game or just a hater
@questioneverything1646 thats a joke right he was most efficient player in college basket i promise the basket is same in sec or maybe he will forget how to shoot the ball with that sec logo on his chest
Not having defense for 15 years 😅😅😅😅. Wtf are you talking about bro, Cal had some of the best defensive teams literally ever assembled. We had one year with bad defense because everyone was whining about offense so he put all his focus on that. Learn bball before making a remark that just makes you look flat out dumb
Theres a top tier guard that will come to uk for just under a million. Barnes is known to get in bidding wars. They paid slightly over a million because they had nil $$ from 2 players that left (aidoo & awaka) they used to buy 1 in Lanier. They had to spend that much $$ because he knew we would get Lanier otherwise...There is a player who will take that just under a million. Promise
Losing Lanier to Tennessee was HUGE. Biggest L pope has taken since taking the job. Lanier is gonna be a great player for the vols. We will be booing the hell out of him too while he gets buckets on us. Man this sucks
@@dryftwx o yeah we will be okay, this is our coaches first season after all in which he missed the entire year of recruiting. We just wanted that instant success and a chance to compete for the championship. But it might take 2-3 years for that.
