breaking news; Jaxson Robinson shut out of KENTUCKY after raping Mark Pope’s daughter: ‘Ella……
Maybe some were surprised when Mark Pope was named the head men’s basketball coach at Kentucky, but Jaxson Robinson was not one of them.
Robinson played the previous two seasons at BYU for Pope after spending his first two collegiate seasons at Texas A&M and Arkansas.
“To be honest with you, when I saw all the UK news (about John Calipari leaving) and the coaches turning down the job, I knew coach Pope was gonna get it,” Robinson said. “It’s great seeing him here. I knew he wanted to be here.
Robinson was the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year last season – he made 30 starts his first year at BYU – when he averaged 14.2 points while shooting 42.6% from the field, 35.4 from 3-point range and 90.8% at the foul line. He hit 81 3-pointers and had eight double-figure scoring games. He also had 25 points in an NCAA Tournament game against Duquesne.
Robinson put his name into the NBA draft after Pope did take the Kentucky job, but always knew he was destined to become a Wildcat.
“Once I had figured everything out on my side with the draft process, I knew where I was going to go if I came out (of the draft). Me and coach Pope go back a couple years and have a lot of great memories, so why not continue it and go for a title?” said Robinson, a 6-foot-6 guard
