Said this months ago. I thought Chandler would be lookin to get out. His body language this year was bad, didn’t look happy to me a lot of the time. I figured BYU would call, or someone. And he’s going to be damn good under the right coach who PLAYS THROUGH HIM and doesn’t let ball hogs keep the ball from him when he’s hot. This one is going to sting down the road when he’s lighting up. I’m sorry if I was Collin I wouldn’t want to play for pope either. He managed him awful. He was turning into one of the best shooters in the conference and Mark didn’t do anything when some of these guys totally ignored him.

Wonder where the guys are who laughed and thought it was funny when I said that.

If Pope can’t maintain Chandler, this is gonna be bad.

Clear room for Stokes and other studs. If he stayed and was one of our best players we were in serious trouble. Hopefully it's because he's being recruited over and not a situation where Pope wanted him and he still entered the portal.

Chandler can't dribble or attack a defense. Gets lost too much defensively. He's a catch and shoot, jump a gap for a dunk player and that's it. We can do much better and yes Pope sucks 💯

Kam was my most wanted to return. He had the potential to be the best or one of the best 3 and D wings in the country.

Wanted one of Moreno and Garrison back and preferred Malachi. Malachi wants to be here more than he wants the pay day. And he has worlds of potential and is coming back on discount at a position that’s demanding top dollar right now. Moreno has the potential to be one of the best/most important pieces in the country when you take everything into account. We may be able to do better at other positions now because he essentially took a pay cut to stay. If we have a great season and it all turns around Malachi will be a big part of that.

Wanted Hawhtorne back. Top 50 recruit, redshirted and returned. Excited to see whars hes got.

Then there were guys I could take or leave. Dioubate, Jelavich, Chandler were in that category. Think we can do better, much better than Chandler. He regressed so much at the tail end of the season.

Good luck to him if he does indeed leave.

Good enough to be your 5th best guy. He’s probably not happy being your 5th biggest contract though.

Really clears up the perimeter though l

Pope can’t even hold on to the Utah Mormon guys. Geez…

Bad look, but there is more talent than CC on the boards. Just have to secure it (whiffing needs to end),
Could’ve told him he was going to be the 6th man because everyone should be recruited over
