He won the UT game at their place by jumping the lane and getting a steal from reading their action while they were trying to tie it with a minute to go. He helped win the LSU game by having an arm and an accurate one. That just happened this season. Chandler in proper shape and a better handle can be a problem. Especially at the 6th man role (which is about 25 minutes a game, you can't call him a 6th man and then say he's a 10 to 12 mpg player, those are not the same thing)
Chandler rumors
- Thread starter TheResistance
- Start date
He might be replaceable if we had a serviceable coach, but with Pope there is no guarantee the replacement will be any better.
I want Chandler to return. I do not want Chandler as my best player. I do want Chandler coached by a different coach
So either way I'm not going to stress it. If he can't get better then we already know what next year holds. We already know anyway. Let them all leave. I'm ok with signing a bunch of 3 and 4 star absolute dogs. Get some ppl like the mason kid and some guards with extremely good ball handling. Get some big mean dudes down low. Get some strong athletic dogs on the wing.
I don't give a **** about stars anymore. Pope better get creative.
Get 12 guys that want to dive on the floor every possession if needed.
His wife already moved her business back to Utah.
The optics aren't good if Pope can't hold on to Chandler
If we don’t it will be a repeat story next year double digit loses
portal doesn’t open officially until April 7
Moreno is fielding offers from other schools.
She doesn't like it in Kentucky and wanted to go back home. Not a big secret.
I wish Pope’s wife felt the same way.
BYU has been trying to bring him back home for a while, and it's a forgone conclusion now.
Oh I didn't realize it was them
Yeah I definitely wish he would work on his handle and offensive moves to get to the basket more. He has the athleticism to do it.
Everyone does if he does leave so be it just like anyone you don’t over pay. It’s all about leverage every off season
That $5M her husband is stealing without any qualifications for the job will go a long way towards a few Louie bags, some Jimmy Choo heels, maybe some fake follower accounts for her IG, that will make her like Kentucky real quick.
Collin improved tremendously from year 1 to year 2. Can he make the additional leap next season?
As many have stated, he needs to improve his ball handling and develop the ability to use a shot fake and his quickness to get to the basket. If he can improve in these areas, he can be a dangerous offensive player. His leaping ability should allow him to get his shot off and draw fouls.
He is a mature young man, has 2 years now at UK, and can be a team leader. I feel he deferred to Otega and Denzel to a fault and will be more assertive next year.
I think many forget he is a rising junior! He will work on his weaknesses and is a key player to retain IMO.

That is A-OK. Don't blame him one bit. If I was UK I'd not make him a huge offer just to keep him. There will be available players if Mark can close them.
I keep seeing this take, and can't disagree more. I just don't see many Quality centers in the portal!
Cal really struggled to find 1 last year,and think he will this year as well! Wouldn't be surprised if he is putting in a high dollar offer!
Elite team, we’re gonna have an elite team next year? It’s gonna be elite. I mean, I always hear all this hype. Nevertheless, she’s told a few different people she’s staying in Utah this year. The other concern is if Chandler plays he may not come until August. That’s what someone told me. I mean I don’t know. I’m an insider man. I just pay attention to what’s going on and kinda use reason I’ve been pretty correct though about a lot of things so take it for what it’s worth.
Chandler has to get the gym tomorrow. He’s got a game about 15 pounds maybe 20 pounds 15 is probably good and a muscle of course needs to get 15-20 pounds of muscle on them so that he can bully his way. It’s really only thing preventing him from becoming a real stud little bit more muscle so she’s a stronger player when you’re gonna get what you get with this ball handling that’s not gonna change. He’s never gonna be a point guard but if you put some muscle on them, he could play kind of like Oweh but the problem is every year the off-season these guys come out looking like average ordinary people. It doesn’t look like they have a solid strength and conditioning program. I feel like it’s like show up and get into the condition through playing you know like play your way into shape. That’s just too late those freaking November games matter too much now and to be honest I mean pope needs to like make a big splash. He really needs to come out with a number one of one or two seed next year.
Chandlers biggest obstacle was oweh not passing him the ball when he's standing in the corner wide freaking open watching oweh crash to the rim get fouled only to miss the first free throw and hit the second. Trading 1pt for 3pts happened a hundred times.
I personally think we need Chandler to stick around. Not to be a key player, but to be a solid contributor. It would be easier to fill a decent roster this off-season if a few key guys stay. Not that I'm even slightly optimistic about next year, but you have to start somewhere.
Stop lol you **** on everything except Pope. I'm sure thats coming
Hell I thought he'd already left. Like with almost every "shooter" recently at UK they disappear towards the end of the season.
