As he said goodbye to Big Blue Nation, his words carried deep appreciation:

“What an incredible journey… BBN, THANK YOU! 😢”

From his time at BYU to becoming a key player for Kentucky, Robinson’s experience was transformative both on and off the court.

A Leap of Faith That Paid Off

Following Mark Pope to Kentucky proved to be a pivotal decision in Robinson’s career. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity Pope gave him:

“He believed in me. To be in this locker room, with these teammates, wearing this jersey—playing for the University of Kentucky—it wouldn’t have been possible without Mark Pope.”

New challenges and responsibilities came with his transition, but Robinson embraced them fully.

A Season Cut Short, But an Impact Felt

Before his injury sidelined him, Robinson was having an outstanding season. Even after he could no longer take the court, he remained a dedicated teammate, supporting the Wildcats from the sidelines.

His stats reflected his value to the team:

• 2024-25 Season: 13.0 PPG, 43.2% FG, 37.6% 3PT, 76.3% FT
• Career: A reliable scorer and a consistent outside threat, showing steady improvement each season

However, his influence extended beyond numbers—his presence and commitment to the team were just as meaningful.

A Lasting Connection to Kentucky

Robinson’s time as a Wildcat was about more than just basketball. He played with heart, overcame adversity, and maximized his opportunity to wear the blue and white.

Though his season ended prematurely, his contributions will not be forgotten. No matter where his path leads next, he will always be part of the Kentucky basketball family.
