ded to be submitted by Wednesday at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. For BYU fans , all eyes were on former BYU standout and Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year Jaxson Robinson. Robinson spent the last few weeks evaluating his NBA Draft stock while maintaining his collegiate eligibility.
The deadline came and went without any official announcement from Robinson or his camp. In fact, so many people were waiting for him to announce his future plans, that his name started trending on X.It’s 6am in Egypt. Still waiting on Jaxson Robinson’s decision😭😂.
As of Thursday morning, nothing has been announced. Robinson only needed to fill out the correct paperwork by the deadline - there was no deadline on an announcement. Now that the deadline has come and gone, Robinson can announce his future plans whenever he wants. BYU fans, Kansas fans, and Kentucky fans are anxiously waiting to hear about Robinson's plans. BYU fans are hopeful he might opt to return to BYU for one final year. Kentucky fans are hoping Mark Pope can bring him to Lexington, and Kansas fans feel good about their odds to land Robinson.
