Ansley Almonor commits to Mark Pope and Kentucky basketball! | Kentucky Wildcats Podcast
Kentucky basketball has landed Fairleigh Dickinson Knights transfer Ansley Almonor.
On today’s episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe discusses the recent commitment of Ansley Almonor to Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats. UK needed a scorer and a shooter to add in their frontcourt, and Almonor is the perfect transfer portal pickup. How does this effect Kentucky basketball’s recruitment of Jaxson Robinson? How does the roster, now up to 11 players, look heading into the summer?

Heck yeah boyeeeeeee!!!!!
Go Big Blue ✌️
Wish they could get both Lanier and Robinson without leading to a bunch of fights over playing time. Didn't they say Pope likes to go 10-11 deep on the bench?
1. Lanier, Butler, Krisse
2. Brea, Chandler, Perry
3. Robinson, Oweh, Noah
4. Carr, Almanor
5. Williams, Garrison
Let's Gooooo!!!! Big blue nation👏👏👏👏👏
I don’t think this will have any impact on Robinson’s decision. Almonor played an undersized center last year and will likely be Carr’s backup at the 4. Robinson can play 2 or 3 with his skillset, much like Lanier. I don’t think getting Lanier and Robinson is realistic at this point but getting one of two would be great. They would likely play the same roll as the go-to bucket-getter, whichever one commits.
Lance come on man do more reading listen to Jack Mark Pope was in Chicago watching Jaxson if there out on Jaxson it’s because he’s staying in the draft. Pope and staff are going all in on Lanier and after that all chips on Jaxson you could definitely play Jaxson at the 2-4 man idc who committed first the best players are going to play the most minutes Carr could play the 4 or 5 none of the freshman are guaranteed to play any minutes man, I mean come on. He’s not going to Kansas!! There more crowded and out of NIL!! Dude people close to Jaxson are saying everything I just said, he just did an interview that said Popes not my couch…. At the moment!! Mark built this team to where he got all the main pieces. I just don’t understand how or why you think the players that already committed automatically get playing time over a future NBA guy!! Bro if he comes back to college Kentucky is most likely getting him Kansas makes even less sense. Bro I like your show but do your homework I can’t do your job for you
Please go watch the new episode of sources says!! Ansley is a backup 4 or 3 Garrison is a project and none of the freshman are guaranteed any playing time. Mark is all in on Chaz and Jaxson to say he’s not in on Jaxson is just an opinion please do some research I just read something 1 hour ago and something yesterday Mark just seen him play and Jaxson said it meant a lot that he was there
How similar do you think this team will play compared to his last years byu team? And what aspects of this team will differ from all of the cal era teams?
I have a feeling this team will surprise a lot of people this coming season. 🤞
Love the show! I watch every drop. Great voice keep up the good work GO CATS!
Fantastic pick up. Now let's get wooga popular. I really think he is the right piece for this team.
I agree I think he's perfect for ky I heard his dream was to play for ky I heard he had offers across seas but was willing to even cum off the bench to play for ky
Why would Robinson go to kansas and play the seventh man hes a senior tht doesn't make sense
Depth discussions are fun, considering the current staff joined the program this year with two scholarship players on the roster.
This is gonna be a fun team to watch. I'm happy we got him and I believe he will bring it when on the court. Its a nice pick-up
Great episode! A few guys left to pick up so hope we get some height coming off the bench. No secret as to why two teams that both had 7'4 centers made it to the final two last year.
Robinson will have a spot, geez… It's not about room on this team. He will get more time than anyone on this team. According to the coach, he wants to take 35 threes per game. I doubt that's less than last years team.
