Why didn’t Chandler wait a couple of weeks to get home and at least meet KY?

Pope gave him an ultimatum and he jumped at it

Where did you come up with this?

Because it makes the most sense

BYU Fan

Well, in that case you may as well post it as if it’s a fact.

Lol. You made a definitive statement. Big difference between that and “I wonder

Leave the guy alone, he had a vision in which he saw it happen that way.

To be fair it does seem that he is a big fan of whatever Coach Pope is selling

LOL, just because you think it makes the most sense doesn't mean its a fact...

Probably just a invitation/opportunity. UK is a pretty big draw for most young ballers.

Eh. I wish him well, but in a passive sense. He was great for BYU. Why would I wish ill upon him?

SinkingQuffa

May 3, 11:51am

I won't actively wish either well, and take a passive interest in both. I might

Smiling when someone fails in their career is one way to live life. Show us

He could have made BYU better. He chose

Last-minute poachings like that are very awkward & uncomfortable for everyone.

SinkingQuffa

Got it, so your response is he is going to be rich. Its fine if I wish him ill.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Rich people don't need us. Just ask TNT.

LOL, how old are you? Eleven?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Do you believe wealthy people need the middle class?

What does that have to do with your statement? Stay on the subject.

What? It’s amazing you actually believe that. Have a reliable source for that?

How will Pope's success be good for BYU? That makes no sense. All it will do is

May 3, 12:49pm

If Pope weren't over such an elite program I MIGHT be worried about that a bit.

SinkingQuffa

I think KY will be a great recruiter and having Burgess who has proved that

May 3, 2:06pm

Pope will rarely if ever go head-to-head w KY in recruiting battles. Pope's

SinkingQuffa

May 3, 2:14pm

Your statement was Pope being successful at Kentucky would benefit BYU. How?

May 3, 2:19pm

The fact that he was BYU's coach will certainly not be forgotten. Particularly w him being Mormon & all.

SinkingQuffa

May 3, 2:26pm

I personally think it's this. I suspect Pope pressured him to decide quickly.

I think commitments are more nuanced than that aren't they?

Not in this case....basketball was 100% of the driving factor. He's a strong LDS

Because BYU wasn't the draw unfortunately

Is this post really ruining your CB experience that much?

This post, it seems like half of the last BBall posts are about Pope/Chandler

May 3, 12:46pm

he must really like Pope that much.

He does.

How many times does this have to be hashed out. Good grief. He committed to Pope
