The fact that Kevin Young chose to take the head coaching job at BYU over an NBA job says a lot about the kind of person

Incentivize

4:32pm

No - he was always going to follow pope. His commitment was to pope not BYU

Kolipoki

4:32pm

If so, then good riddance. Young is a way better coach than Pope.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

4:33pm

I think you are right, but will be as good a recruiter?

Kolipoki

Anyone use the savorone card for groceries? 3% back seems pretty good.

Nope but American Express has a good card as well.

When I watch that video that Pope did for UK in the MC

fredy

It was weird. What was that for?

Benfica1

4:27pm

It was a Kentucky promo done back when he was a BYU assistant - before he left for UVU.

kccougar

4:28pm

It was something to do with the 25th anniversary of their 1996 NC(???)

I lost more respect when he said he's a hardcore swiftie.

It was done for the UK championship team. It was great PR to show he was a BYU

I don't follow. So if a previous Utah player that was coaching at BYU did that..

If it was Utah and a rival thing sure. But if an assistant at UVA would have

Alex, time to go get him!

pegushin

4:23pm

If he got 2 years for nothing, Urias and Ozuna should have gotten 5-10

AZ Coug

4:24pm

But Ozuna is leading the league in RBI and tied for HR lead - so it's okay.

I hope that HC KY realizes that BYU is his number one priority now

Chandler really should have waited until BYU announced their coach. Young

Dangerous

4:20pm

He probably already knew

Hup

4:21pm

I don’t think so. But he knew he wanted to follow pope

chitownboy

4:22pm

I don't think he cared.

Coug

4:21pm

All in all Kentucky will still be a more reliable path to the NBA

Buffalo

4:22pm

Think it's going to be tough not having played in 2 yrs going to a place like UK

machete

4:25pm

Not so fast, as an RM I say no. As a top 10 freshman out of HS sure.

johnnybyu

4:27pm

Not sure about that. A program like Kentucky doesn't have a lot of time for an RM to get up to speed

kccougar

4:32pm

Yep it is actually a big risk by Chandler to go to Kentucky. Would have made

johnnybyu

4:33pm

Chandler might have known about the hire before he made his announcement.

Ham

4:24pm

yeah Chandler definitely knew. He's always been a Pope guy

Kolipoki

4:27pm

Chandler on his mission knows very little. His Dad may have received a phone

Rocketman

4:31pm

FYI to all--He was committed to Pope and not BYU. He was gone regardless of who

kansascougar

4:25pm

Seems like a Frank Jackson situation. No Duke fans give him a second thought.

VACougMD

4:26pm

I doubt he ever commits to BYU if he had a Kentucky offer in high school.

JuicyJam

As we super fans(you better be if you are on here), celebrate this awesome day

Alan Schaefer

4:20pm

So, did BYU approach Burgess at all for the HC job?

Zip

4:20pm

I am guessing they talked to Burgess, Maddog, Peery, Young, and maybe even Alex

johnnybyu

4:21pm

Everyone else was scheduled to interview today if Young said no

puntersarepeople

4:32pm

if what has been said here in Cougarboard is correct, then no
