If pope can’t be a closer he’s not going to make it here.
Chandler to portal "do not contact tag"

I think CC saw the writing on the wall that we're getting ready to pull in a helluva haul of players much much better than he. This past season was a one off and I think we begin to get **** right very shortly. Make fun of it if you want but Mark does understand the assignment
Thing is he’ll probably get it somewhere to. I’m sure he was offered a very nice deal to stay here but that extra 100,000 must be more important to him. Money has ruined this sport I love soo much. Anyway, I know we’ll get someone just as good and probably better but he could’ve really been something to the fans here. Best of luck to you Colin, wish nothing but the best to you and your family.
That's about what I gather from it. CC better hope he gets drafted by the Jazz if he has any NBA hopes.
Welcome to the married life, Bud.
with pope/brown not matching, my guess they felt chandler wouldnt take that leap forward in order to justify the price. maybe chandler does, maybe he doesnt. but the vanterpool kid at FAU is a total stud, scores it at all three levels. 35% from three, 78% from the line, good defender. you probably cant get that kid as a backup if chandler is on the roster. but for the 3M chandler was looking for, that value is there with a kid like this and now the door is open.
i'm sure there are other players that fit the profile as well. pope and the staff need to find them and land them.

This guy was the most frustrating to watching out of all our players due to how much playing time he was getting. I didn't understand the coaching staff's willingness to stick with him. Early in the season they thought he was the guy right behind Oweh, how so wrong they were. He is not a Starter for a top 25 team. 6th man at best. Dude was often out of position on defense and buckets would routinely get scored on him to the point I think he was actively being targeted by the other team. While athletic in some aspects, I found him more of a liability on defense. If he had anyone athletically competent guarding him he became a non factor on offense. He was a good shooter if left open, but he couldn't break his man down on the dribble one on one. If he got pressured taking the ball up the court, good night. The kid has toughness I'll give him that, and thats why I think fans endured to him and Noah. Wanted more money then what he's worth from what I'm hearing. I think we will be better off.
I’m hearing Ritchie Saunders is ready to make us forget all about the players that are leaving. lol. Probably false but I’d sure be all in.
Much better players incoming shortly. He was highly expendable
So what’s the count up to now. We need two PGs, two SG, one SF, Two PF, Two centers? 8-9 portal players, with Pope at the helm, we shouldn’t be concerned at all.
I'd bet he doesn't want 3 million to play elsewhere. Just Kentucky......which should tell you what? It's like someone nagging me to sell my home constantly and asking me for a number. Fine....I want 10 million! It's not a sincere price. It's just a "leave me alone, I don't want to sell to you" price.
What do you mean? Derick's post literally said it.
He's just simple minded. Mormon plays for Mormon coach = only player he can connect with. Anything to cope with the fact Jasper is asss.
He was also the only white American player of any significance as well.
I wouldn’t just dismiss the possible racism of the post with the out of the Mormon connection personally.
This can’t be a serious take. Not saying chandler is great but we all know better players are not coming in.
If things go right in the portal, I think we can do better than JJ and CC
We can't do much worse then roster construction we had last year. I don't have much faith in pope making it out alive in Lexington next year. He's just not the dude.
Please. It’s a businesses. The Mormon angle is just stupid. Stop it.
Do you even listen to yourself? He isn't a BG or JJ. He improved from year one and could have been a great piece for us.
I haven’t seen where anyone has but I don’t believe this story. No one’s going to pay him that much
Hard Disagree, dude was a stop gap, and we didn't have better talent on the team.
Chandler would be an ideal 6th man. He has gotten better all throughout his tenure at UK, so he could be a star starter is he keeps improving. I expect that, but think he would have been great off the bench next season. He gave his blood and sweat on the floor as a Cat. I wish him the best. Seems like a good sincere guy.
You never know. Guys get buthurt on here and don't let it go for years at a time because they disagree over Pope. Imagine getting called some of the names Chandler does and having your family send you that **** daily. You might not leave over it, but it might cost the school any loyalty the player had to you
Not for 3m not a pope Mr softy fan at all but if what is being reported is true then pope made a very good call. Chandler will do very well at BYU but he could not afford to make that mistake
Yea
I got tired of watching him stand over there wide open while Oweh and Aberdeen drove the lane
Happy he gets to be closer to family and plenty of $$$$

For 3.2 million and him being a one trick pony. Only someone who hates UK would want this. Way to go coach Pope. So much for Mormon love, pope loves BBN more
I wish the people that believe this 3.2 million dollar story would really sit down and think about it, considering what great players got paid last season. No way chandler asked for that kind of money and expects that kind of payday.
