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

Kolipoki

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

Nope but American Express has a good card as well.

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

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

Dangerous

4:20pm

He probably already knew

Hup

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

chitownboy

I don't think he cared.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everyone else was scheduled to interview today if Young said no
