Kentucky basketball will get Chaz Lanier OR Jaxson Robinson! | Kentucky Wildcats Podcast
Спорт
Kentucky basketball is going to land either Chaz Lanier or Jaxson Robinson... or possibly both.
On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses the latest surrounding Mark Pope's top two targets in the transfer portal: North Florida Ospreys transfer Chaz Lanier and BYU Cougars transfer Jaxson Robinson. Lanier has taken visits to BYU and Kentucky and will visit the Tennessee Volunteers tomorrow. Robinson has yet to pull out of the NBA Draft, and could commit to the Kentucky Wildcats depending on what Lanier and the Kansas Jayhawks do. Could the Cats land one or both of these players?
Tounde Yessoufou, a five-star prospect who played very well during the Indianapolis EYBL session, has been contacted by Kentucky and seems to have a lot in common with Mark Pope. Jamie Vinson, a three-star who just took a visit to Kentucky, could be the final scholarship added to the Kentucky basketball 2024 roster.

Since this is a Kentucky show, why not move the UK banner to where the LSU banner is? Can't see the UK banner.
The real value in Robinson as the best player is that he also knows the offense. He can be like an extra coach during Summer workouts with his new teammates so they'll have the basics down before official practice even begins.
Personally I’m thinking Lanier is the better fit and allow Robinson to do whatever he needs to. Seems like Robinson has always been leaning a different direction. Use the last spot to bring in talent for next season.

@@DearLordItsLookinAtMePutItAway Lanier would fit my shoe, and I would save a hole for Robinson just in case he comes back? those two guys would make us a top 15 team going in? keep our fingers crossed.
Jamie Vinson should redshirt if he does join since there isn't minutes for him on the team this year which will also very much help him develop into a starting role for his Junior and Senior year
Let’s do this damn thing BBN!!!! BBN4Life
We're all in on Chaz, and likely to sign Vinson.

That Vinson kid has potential to be a really good player. Like lottery pick potential. Idk if UK gets him, he may be looking to play somewhere he is gonna get more minutes. Who knows though, if pope does get him he will be a bigger land than people think. He is an NBA prototypical Stretch big.

Yeah and Vinsion is on a visit my guess is Jaxson told pope he’s starting in the draft . I mean 2 scholarships 2 players on a visit today he’s not going to say I don’t want your commitment because he wants other guys they wouldn’t be on a visit if pope didn’t want them. My guess they throw everything at Chaz and if Wooga Poplar reports come out about visiting Kentucky that means he doesn’t feel good about Chaz and I want Chaz over anyone in the portal but if we get Wooga instead it’s a nice 3rd place prize

@@kingkritical2779 yeah that's obvious, but his skillset is exactly what the NBA looks for nowadays. He is obviously young and will be a freshman, but he definitely has a high ceiling.
I really hope you're right Lance. I'm worried that Lanier is going to end at Tennessee. I just think it's closer to home and the whole Dalton Knecht pitch from Rick Barnes is probably what Chaz is very interested in. I really think Jaxson should stay another year and would be THE GUY at Kentucky and will be televised a lot. But if Jaxson stays in the draft and Chaz does commit to Tennessee, I will be a little worried about next year. We have to pay one of them a lot of money too.

Knoxville is 179 miles from Nashville (Lanier's home), and Lexington is 217 miles, so they're basically equally close. But Barnes has indeed had Lanier's ear for longer. That part worries me.

Yeah, unless he feels there's a legit danger of slipping to the 3rd round, he's gone.
Great information
Love to get them both
Vinson, would be a good 4 year build guy.
I think i'm more excited for this year than I have any of the other years, even when we have the number one recruiting classes, I wanted to be here already, but I also don't want to wish this summer away
I hate the portal!!! 😞

I hate it too in principal, but you gotta admit all the booms have been fun. It feels like Hanukkah.
Can't wait to see Kentucky fans melt next year when they realize how good they had it with Cal.
I’m so glad Kentucky has a great chance of getting at least one of them.
Lanier is probably headed to UT. Robinson has a decision to make and hopefully it’s to pull out of the draft and go play one more year for Pope
I think this is gonna be one of those teams that are slowly gonna get better and better and better, These seniors are going to know what to do.
I'm not sure. I just know we need that one Super Star on this team.
The basketball coverage is fire bro. But c'mon Lance where the football coverage. I be looking at other locked on pods, they already got some gladiator ball content up. Flood us with both man.
If there is a 50/50 chance that Chaz goes to UT and there is a 50/50 chance that Robinson will stay in the draft (not even taking into consideration that he is exploring other college routes) and these two decisions are independent of one another I don’t see how you can be so confident that UK will at least get one of the two. Using this logic, there is at least a 25% chance that they will get neither, which is pretty high.

Agreed. The point is that the video makes it seem like it’s a lock that they’ll get one of two. 25% chance of getting neither seems high to portray it as a lock.
It could be that we end up with neither of them.

I don't think this is that unlikely really. Looks like Robinson stays in the draft and Chaz could very easily pick Tennessee. I think the team will be fine and another unexpected player or two will be available before the season starts, but I agree we might not get either.

I thank we get Lanier in the end but I think he will visit Tennessee but I feel like pope want let this one get away with out offering him all he can to come to Ky.
I’m betting if we add two more cats like Robinson & Chaz we may lose a couple on the process. Just depends on who if it’s worth it

The only 0.5% chance way we get both is if Andrew Carr is fine backing up the 4 which is where Robinson would likely start at (assuming Chaz at 2 and Brea at 3) but it’s not gonna happen

We need chaz or jaxson ! Hope 💯% we get vinson like have them 3 then we be done lol...BBN
Lanier is a better fit at BYU and so is Robinson. If you are objective, then all of you know that. Either of them would develop better for the NBA at BYU, with more playing time, better coaching, and overall just a better fit. If you don’t believe me, then take it directly from the mouth of Devin Booker. “ I wishthat I would’ve had a coach like Kevin Young when he was in college”, yeah that is right. He is saying that he didn’t have a coach like Kevin Young when he was at Kentucky and he wish that he did I think that’s pretty profound.
Anyone know how much green Lanier is asking for?

@@jonboyhst6448 not sure and I could be wrong but it wasn't a secret that Pope went the extra mile for the guys he wanted. Probably money if I'm guessing. Pope wants a deep roster like we got and didn't want to burn everything on on guy. Thats why in my opinion Pope went after the guys he did. Koby Brea to me with Pope will be a star.

We have to wait until after Lanier visits UT. If Robinson pulls out of the draft it’s UK or KU, probably UK. I don’t see us getting both but if we did I think we lose Oweh. I think Lanier is the best fit.
We wont get jaxson chaz or wooga because uk is to stingy with NIL. Fuckin spend the money
