The Kentucky basketball team for 2024–25 is likely to be decided upon quickly, at least in terms of the players who are anticipated to have a significant impact on the team the following season.

Kentucky still has two scholarship slots available, but the last one will probably go to a project that is in development, like Jamie Vinson.

Right now, everyone is focused on that other place since Kentucky hopes to use it for either Jaxson Robinson or Chaz Lanier. In the event that Lanier—who is anticipated to make an announcement this week—picks the Tennessee Volunteers, Kentucky will probably make a big push to acquire Robinson.

The issue is that Robinson is still gauging his chances of being selected in the NBA Draft this year, and there’s a good chance he won’t go back to school. However, based on the opinions of draft experts, it’s possible that Robinson will play one more season of collegiate hoops.

ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony released a fresh mock draft earlier this week that did not include Robinson. They have excellent ties in NBA circles and have a good sense of the impending draft, especially in Giovny’s situation. Therefore, it is noteworthy if they believe Robinson won’t be selected.

The CBS Sports analyst Kyle Boone concurs that Robinson ought to go back to school. Boone listed Robinson as one of the players who ought to go back to school in his piece on the most important stay-go choices in college hoops.
