Pope would have been one if he had paid 3.2 mill. Good job coach. No one trick piney gets 3.2 m
Chandler to portal "do not contact tag"

The Popepourri Cult has a lot of spraying to make this crap fest smell good.
How will they spin this one?

If better players aren’t coming then Pope is a dead man walking. You may be right, of course, but Pope knows it. Je will pull off a miracle or be unemployed.
I don’t believe he asked for that kind of money after seeing what the top ten portal guys got last year.
Why are some blaming Pope for this. He obviously shopped himself around for the biggest bag. Pope said not matching - see ya. I say good riddance. But, thank you for helping beat Tennessee!!!
They're spinning this because they still believe Pope has some genius move up his sleeve, instead of calling it what it is: a retention disaster. Chandler was Pope's mormon apprentice. It doesn't get any worse than this.
The players that choked on the cash last year have to suck it up now. Pope loves the BBN more than Chandler
Found the dude that didn’t watch games. Chandler sucked some games sure. But there are absolutely games we would’ve lost without him.
It’s money and going back home I’m good with it
We got one by not wasting 3.2 mill on a one trick piney.
if chandler really believed in his value, he would test the open market. maybe duke or michigan would be interested and a great opportunity for him. but he didnt....
They can go to straight to the flames below to if we're being honest here why don't they take Mitch with them.

Kentucky should do better if your putting your hopes to win games on chandler. Actually they tried that early in the season and it failed miserably.
We need players that can create their own shot, handle the ball isn’t it he would be a 6 or 7 man at best
Sometimes I feel like you’re the only other sane person on this board (even if I don’t ALWAYS agree with what you say).

Careful there already here defending his honor and this whole mess...
I believe chandler asked for 3.2 million about as much as I believe Yaxel was offered 7-9 million to play here….i bet neither happened this is just a made up story imo
I agree but pope better get some good ones then
Is this a joke.... We will get the same type as last year if not worse with 1 recruit coming in..... NIT here we come....
Based on what exactly?
In the short amount of time he played he was one of the best defenders and shooters in the team and is 6’8 with a 7ft wing span. Moves more like a wing than a big. But has the length to be disruptive both on the perimeter and in the lane on defense.
I don’t get the laughing. I’m not exactly on an island here. He was a projected lottery pick at one point.
Two things are true:
Chandler has a limited albeit developing skillset.
Chandler is a damn good shooter and a team leader and Pope now has to replace him.

Yep I commented on this a few weeks ago. When Derrick posted his first FB rant, he commented on it saying something like "We expected to be treated like the Sheppards but we don't fit in" or something to that extent. It's in my post history. He is a complete idiot and is doing nothing but harming Jasper with all of this.
This is a real sh.. sow
Understood. It is indeed a business. These kids play for the name that is on their checks. Due to it all being legal, can’t say I blame them.
I am neutral on CC leaving, but lean a little happy to be closer to being cleansed of the ’25-‘26 “Unwatchables” team.
In before he just gets replaced with another non Kentucky caliber sg lol
He was actually shooting really well until the team completely ignored him on drives and left him standing. If you don’t keep shooting then you’re not going to continue. Pope was AWFUL at managing Chandler this year. Awful.
I’d think we’d all be, but of course would all be a little weary of a Feb. torn ACL.
Teams can’t contact him. He has already got a destination picked out and the framework of a deal in place.
I do not have faith Pope will be able to replace him prop
Yeah, I think he'll do well at BYU and we all know we had a couple players that just had to get theirs no matter what. At the end of the day that was all on Pope as well
Anyone who understands what they’re looking at knows Pope outright sucks and was a flop of the century hire. Guy is terrible. There aren’t two options.
