Jackson RobinsonSixth Big Man of the Year at BYU, followed by head coach Mark Pope he went to Kentucky in his final year of eligibility.
“Robinson has been one of the most improved players in the country for two years in a row and he still doesn't remember his strength,” said Pope. “The way he is growing is amazing. He's an elite shooter, dangerous off the bounce and at the rim, and has the potential to be a big-time player. Jaxson guards with height and balance and understands how important it is to build strong relationships with his teammates. On a personal level, I'm thrilled to have finished his college journey with him in pursuit of Kentucky's ninth national championship.”
Robinson excelled in big games, such as scoring 25 points in the NCAA Tournament against Duquesne and — in BYU's most notable six wins last season — Robinson averaged 16.8 points on 41.5 3-pointers and dunks 16 of 17 free throws in wins against Kansas, Baylor, Texas, Iowa State, San Diego State, and NC State.
