I read an article covering the blue white event and mentioned how impressive chandler was despite his travels and summer setback. Curious if anyone is aware what the later is referring to. Thanks
What was collin chandlers 'summer setback'?

I’m guessing it’s just basketball atrophy…being away from the game for a couple of years.
It takes a while to get back in peak physical condition to play high level collegiate basketball.

Maybe a conditioning thing?
On his 2 year mission, he was not allowed to play any basketball. Considering that, he’s doing awesome.
That is completely untrue. It was more of an availability issue as far as getting into gyms at certain locations. Some places he couldn’t at all, whereas in (I think London) he was able to get a handful of workouts in on a semi-consistent schedule. There was an interview on it a couple months back I think. He obviously couldn’t work out like a D1 player would want to, but he stayed in great physical shape and he was ready to go when he got to Lexington. All about getting the feel back. But if he’s really one of the top 3-4 best players on the team, then he must be getting back into it quick.
He forgot his shrunken head collection in Papua New Guinea
His hand received 2nd and 3rd degree burns while hitting 30 straight 3 pointers.
Accidentally drank normal coffee. It was a big thing.
That’s crazy, I bet his improvement is quick as hell now.
That makes sense, thanks for that info. Yeah I think he will get better rapidly. Kid looks very talented.
On a hilarious note my best friends mother was born on Papua New Guinea near a remote cannibal village. Her parents were missionaries at the time trying to get the local tribes to spread the good word.
Way too early, but I’m gonna go ahead say, “I told you so,” on Chandler.
Of course if he doesn’t pan out, ignore this post.

Wow props to the young man sacrificing his time do what he thinks is right even if it meant going to some 3rd world crap hole like England.
Considering that professors from BYU have told me that coffee isn't allowed on campus but energy drinks containing caffeine are, nothing about that situation would surprise me.
Well me neither but there’s a difference between being allowed or not allowed vs having limited ability to being able to do so.
I’m sure they have some down time and time to exercise or do something active. Just me speculating.
Almost. I went to school with several Mormons. One would bring in Red Bull every morning. We gave him all **** about it - he was allowed to drink that because technically it didn’t have caffeine it had taurine or some crap in it. We used to call it a Mormon loophole
I had a buddy that is a morman. When we were kids I got a Pepsi out of the fridge took a swig he said let me have a drink. He hid in our utility room and took a big swig let out a sound like he took a big shot of whiskey. I had no ideal he was “sinning”. I thought it was strange.
