Wan’Dale Robinson is officially joining the Kentucky Wildcats after two long years. Robinson announced his intentions to transfer to Kentucky today, and it instantly made Kentucky a stronger contender for the SEC East next season.
Robinson is a do-it-all playmaker who will make an instant impact and contribute immediately for the Wildcats.
There’s much to be excited about for the 2021 football season with the addition of Robinson. A stacked roster, a favorable schedule (if it’s back to normal), and with the hopeful addition of fans in the stands, Kentucky could be in store for a magically season if everything falls in place.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news of Robinson’s decision:

Kentucky thought they had Wan'Dale out of high school. Got him in the end.

I cannot explain how happy the Wandale Robinson news makes me.

Obviously the previous situation was a big deal, but it just took him a little longer to come home
He makes next year’s offense SO MUCH MORE DYNAMIC
So excited#BBN
Now let’s get to work gang @wanda1erobinson

In Wan’Dale Robinson, Kentucky just added the one thing it most needs - a dynamic playmaker. Huge get (re-get) for Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow https://t.co/mMBNRFRVDx

Wan’dale Robinson is transferring to Kentucky. This is a great football player who has a lot of the same hybrid skills as Lynn Bowden did in my opinion. Can’t wait for next year and to see this guy do his thing.#BBN #Kentucky #Football #UK

More and more the way transfers go it will be important not to get caught up in your feelings. @vincemarrow didn't get Wan'Dale the first time around but it wasn't personal and that approach paid off. That's how you do it.

Wan’Dale Robinson is transferring to Kentucky. Nebraska’s leading receiver in 2020, Robinson was once committed to the Wildcats. He entered the transfer portal Monday, saying he wanted to move closer to home as his mother dealt with issues related to her recovery from COVID-19.

Curious about Wan’Dale? Just listen to the first few minutes of this Nebraska podcast to know what he meant to that program.

Nebraska Football: Reacting to Wan'Dale Robinson's Departure from Huskers https://t.co/oQ8lOMKaoD via @YouTube
Wan'Dale Robinson was force fed the football at Nebraska, but in the wrong ways. He played at ton of RB with 134 carries. That's not who he is. This is a slot WR first who can do other things. Feels like this was the main reason for the transfer.
