Breakout star? Wan'Dale Robinson reacts to being the talk of Kentucky's spring
One of the hottest newcomers to the SEC this season is Nebraska transfer Wan’Dale Robinson at Kentucky where he became the talk of the spring for many of his teammates throughout the roster.
He was asked about that on BBN Tonight by Keith Farmer.
“It’s exciting,” he said. “At the end of the day, I just wanted to come in and work. I just wanted to come in and help this team win and get to the next level that we want to go to. I’m just going to continue to do what I have to do and hopefully people continue to say my name.”
Robinson arrives at UK as a Swiss Army knife-like multi-purpose threat. At Nebraska last season, Robinson led the Huskers with 51 catches and 461 receiving yards despite playing only 8 games and splitting duties at running back. He also led Nebraska with 696 all-purpose yards.
Robinson’s transfer brought even more headlines in the Bluegrass because it was a homecoming. After the 2018 season, he was the state’s consensus top player as a senior at Western Hills High School in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Coach Mark Stoops said earlier this offseason that Robinson was a welcome sight.
“We needed dynamic playmakers, as you know,” Stoops said, per 247Sports. “Those are the guys that change those digits on the scoreboard. We need some guys like that.”

I’m a UGA fan. But I’m here to tell you. I believe the cats are on their way up. I love coach MS and feel that Kentucky is the team primed to take over Florida as second in the east. The cats are being overlooked by many but NOT ME!!!!! I know UGA is the class of the east and maybe all of college football.
I’m glad I’m a Georgia fan. Otherwise I would get really upset. Because the SEC now has 2 Alabama’ish teams. One in the west Alabama and of course THE BEAST FROM THE EAST GEORGIA!!!!!!!! But in the old days and maybe even now. If teams like Alabama and Georgia did not exist. You might be talking about Kentucky possibly making a run to the playoffs. I DON’T JUST GO BY RECORDS. BECAUSE A TEAM CAN BE REALLY REALLY REALLY CLOSE and be just a QB away!!!! Yet have a bad record because of no real QB.
THEY HAVE THE COACH!!!!!! Everyone talks about Mullen being an X and O man. Sorry but coach MS is a real coach!!!! He’s not known for blowing smoke and he is a really great coach and seems like a nice guy. Maybe now Kentucky opens a few eyes. I hope they TROUNCE FLORIDA!!!!
Anyway, God bless y’all and good luck except against my dawgs!!!! LOL. My money is on the cats to be the biggest challenge in the east. BUT FLORIDA COULD STILL BE THE #2 TEAM. ONLY BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO HOLD A MENTAL EDGE AGAINST THEM. BUT THAT MENTAL EDGE CAN BE ELIMINATED WITH A REALLY BIG CURB STOMP!!!!!
PS. I’ll be rooting for Kentucky when it’s not my dawgs they play!!!! Coach MS is a class act and comes from a great coaching family!!!!!

Still have too many questions about the new offense, but it can’t get any worse. So, should be better by default.
Our record against Florida in the past 5 years should be better than it is, but we’ve been competitive enough to win for the most part. Stoops has gotten better as a HC in that time as well. Still a long way to go to be competitive for 4 quarters against the class of the east, but we are getting better incrementally and have built the mentality to be able to win.
You know who else is a class act? You Negan! Not many people want to give credit to other programs but there own.you know football and don’t care to show respect.depending on the quarterback position will tell what kind of season the cats has.if one of the three can separate there self from the pack and be the leader then they have a good enough team to take the next step and beable to compete with everyone on there schedule besides Alabama and georgia.I don’t think they play Bama this season so if there quarterback play is good there is only one for sure loss and that be the dawgs.stools is doing darn good job recruiting and coaching but it’s hard to get the talent the dawgs get every year one reason is the state of Georgia is a gold mine.so many good football players come out of the state.and the dawgs get most of them or at least the ones they want.I can’t wait for season to start I be cheering on the dawgs every game but one when they play the cats.
