So did pope reach out to chandler after going to Kentucky? Recruiting violation

Exhibit A why were the weirdest fans in the country.

OmahaOmaha

Does Pope recruit Chandler if he is at UK when Chandler is in high school?

dallasbyu

8:19am

Probably not.

BYUtka

8:19am

Then why take him now.

dallasbyu

8:20am

Absolutely. Are you kidding? He’s a top recruit with LDS ties.

Kdubb

8:20am

Yes

BYUheaven

8:21am

Chandler to Kentucky is a little weird.

rad dawg

8:21am

Yes. Kid is a baller. Top recruit.

vabeachcoug

This is how I feel about Pope

Forbidden Fruit

TH better be learning from this disaster & update the contracts for new coaches

Your second contract clause may not be legally enforceable

Chandler released a thank you to cougar nation on IG.

Mostlyaccurate

8:18am

What love and support has he felt from Cougar Nation? He never even suited up.

ChiCityCoug

8:21am

Screw off Chandler

pegushin

8:21am

I was off on the context but I think I still got this one right.

rad dawg

8:17am

Pope taking Chandler and possibly others?

Julius Pepperwood

8:17am

Let’s stop with the Pope to girlfriend references. It’s just a weird analogy.

I have started and deleted so many threads in the last 5 minutes. I am so

dallasbyu

BYU should’ve hired Mad Dog over Pope

arizonacougarfan

8:16am

Apparently he has loyalty

BYU '80

8:16am

Until Stanford calls on him?

vabeachcoug

Been my feeling as well. Hindsight.

*flips off BYU's NIL team by taking the money and offering nothing in return.

Division Bell

How much? The opaque box of NIL is one reason I don't think I'll ever give.

Is anyone here in the bishopric where Elder Chandler is serving?

Oh they are 100% here. They care more about us than they do their own team.

ChiCityCoug

8:17am

Hiring Mark Pope was a good thing for BYU to do.

Goatnapper'96

8:12am

Pope was the "safe" hire after Rose. It wasn't a "risky move." Good or bad, it

Except it turns out is was a huge risk.

We’ve heard rumors for years of Popes lack of loyalty from multiple sources.

Malcolm Reynolds

No doubt in my mind he would've bailed if that Hawes/Yoeli/Toolson team had made a decent tourney run

If Burgess gets the job, what will he say to Chandler?

RE: If Burgess gets the job, what will he say to Chandler?

Dark Forest Green

Nothing he can say....

kansascougar

8:11am

Nothing. Chandler is committed to Pope. And we won’t match NIL.

Kdubb

8:11am

The new coach definitely needs to talk to Chandler

palangi

8:12am

won't matter. CC was committed to Pope and not BYU

kansascougar

Don’t Wings need a Caps loss? They’re tied atm and Caps have more RW

I’ve always been more of a hockey fan anyways. I just didn’t know it until this

How many people were saying that Pope isn't going to be recruiting against us

Lol

Born2Fish

the only one I was really worried about was Chandler. LDS players usually aren't

I'm sure it will happen sometimes, but rarely

Belboz

The Pope's snub/Chandler loss don't bother me. Seeing the team fall apart does.

WVU_Prof

“Rebuild” is already a gross understatement. BYU basketball is hemorrhaging profusely right now.

pt crasher

This is no different than any other team that loses a coach.

LifeLongLakerFan

Too many layers of bureaucracy at BYU to do anything quickly

you've been on CB for 15yrs, surely you were aware this was not going to be a quick thing

YOHONOMOTO

Unless he feel like he will never get an NBA HC for some reason I don't see it

It does actually make sense when they've already played for that guy. I'm not sure why you'd feel

I don't get anyone still wishing Pope well at Kentucky. Why do you care he does

Cougar TD

8:03am

Because is pays tithing 😀

Colorado

Does he though?

Swag Kazekage

8:07am

No reason to wish a thief well. He's raiding our kitchen, and burning down the

Archaea

Because when you don’t you appear petty and small.

Sea Chicken

Yeah, if you are throwing a fit about it. But to go out of your way to wish him

Cougar TD

8:20am

I just don't care... I still don't blame him for doing it

Coug

8:10am

Honestly, it probably comes down to money.

Cougar TD

8:21am

Quite the deal between Pope/BYU

The Y's Insider

8:03am

1 NCAA game? And what thank you card?

coug10278

8:04am

Pope gave us 2 NCAA games in six years.

cwilke1

8:04am

How did they give him a lighter and a gas can?

Bin01015

8:07am

Still laughable he got the UK offer. With that resume he starts on the hot seat

*UK

ConnCoug

8:10am

by far the least qualified coach they’ve hired in decades

BYU '80

The last two WCC results were 5th and 6th.

YOHONOMOTO

Those were some bad years

johnnybyu

8:10am

3 NCAA games in 5 years. COVID took one of those away.

Indy Coug

8:10am

We played in 2 games.

The Y's Insider

8:12am

Yeah but it would have been 3. That’s not his fault.

Indy Coug

8:14am

True but he lost to Saint Mary's in the semis. So he could have been 0-3 in

johnnybyu

There’s no denying this SUCKSSSS so bad. BUT

DanSmith

Mark Pope came here from UVU and brought his best players and coaches with him.

jacobugath INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

Chandler was always more of a Pope commit than a BYU commit.

porl thompson

8:06am

I hope he fails miserably. Why?

The Y's Insider

8:11am

We still consider UVU a community college sometimes

Heath Squashwell

Truth is BYU isn’t as special to some as it is to many of us. Some people were

If Chandler is good enough for the NBA he'd make it from BYU & B12 oh well

coug10278

Kentucky, Pope, Matt Leinart, and my brother. Lessons learned from being average

carlstud

He dodged a bullet. She ended up being a gross person

chismoso

Sucks, but I still think this is what happens when coaches leave. Ask Utah State

conetah

I gotta say, it sucks waiting 2 years to have Chandler not even play here.

athletes should get exempt.

Chandler was getting NIL from BYU the whole time without even playing.

Then that makes him a schmuck

Kids don't think that deeply. It's NIL and name on the jersey first and foremost

If we can keep our core together from this year and go out in the portal and

Don Carlton

I now know why Pope didn't give a thank you to BYU when he left. Why make nice

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Taking Collin Chandler is a gut punch. Hurts bad.

DawgHaus

Give hall/saunders chandlers NIL. $ . This might make me feel a little better

gmoney7 All-American

Hall has mid six figure offers coming in via the portal. Doubt we can match

Mexicougazul

I wouldn’t be surprised if Pope let Chandler know that money wasn’t really there

Pope was the one that blew it with Ques. He was the one over promising

Exactly. Who’s to say he didn’t do the same with Chandler?

Sucks, but I thought Chandler was gone as soon as Pope left.

Shinshin

7:48am

Honestly, I never thought for a second he would play for BYU at all even with Pope at BYU

Coug

7:53am

Not a bad theory. Could see that as true.

BYUHgrad

7:55am

holding his scholarship isn't a thing. With the transfer portal, every program

cwilke1

I just felt he was never going to play for BYU... he committed as a placeholder of sorts

even under the old days, a newly returned missionary was free to get out of his

cwilke1

8:02am

In hindsight, Pope wasted 5 years of our time.

Warner

7:47am

It could have been a lot worse.

Shinshin

7:50am

Yeah imagine underperforming in the WCC year after year and finishing 5th?

Forbidden Fruit

8:06am

I mean, we beat some good teams. A couple of those GU wins were pretty fun.

Leonardo

7:51am

I think he only beat them once. Maybe I’m wrong

BYU '80

This year was fun and we clearly exceeded expectations in the Big 12
