KENTUCKY FOOTBALL BEAT WRITER Reported that Pope showed up to combine in Chicago

“Just him showing up alone — that says a lot. He didn’t have to do that,” Robinson said. “I mean, he’s at Kentucky now. He coached me at BYU. But, technically, he isn’t my coach anymore. As of right now, at least.

“Our relationship is super close. I talk to him a lot. He tries to help me out when he can. So I’m making sure that I appreciate him for everything that he’s done for me, especially leading up to this point. He helped me get here. I couldn’t thank anybody else but Coach Pope.”
