7:10am

Quite the deal between Pope/BYU

The Y's Insider

8:03am

There’s no denying this SUCKSSSS so bad. BUT

DanSmith

8:03am

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

jacobugath INSUFFERABLE KNOW IT ALL

8:02am

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

TarCoug

8:02am

I expected to lose all our players and our recruits, but it still hurts seeing

archie

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

carlstud

8:02am

Someone needs to pop their head into Chandler’s apartment window and tell him

royal_blue

8:01am

Is Kevin Young a BYU alum?

MajorZeus

Article: Collin Chandler decommits from BYU, will join Mark Pope at Kentucky View

[Deseret News]

8:00am

Good luck to Chandler / Pope - I'm excited for the future with Kevin Young

LINE

7:59am

Wham, Bam, Thank you man, ahhh le freek! It was a nice 5 year run actually 2

Syre

7:59am

The break-up is very painful. Pope is burning it down to ashes.

DawgHaus

8:00am

I think it is more like packing up his suitcases and returning home.

Syre

8:02am

It's Kentucky...Chandler is grabbing his bags too $$$$

vabeachcoug

7:58am

Yikes. I'm upset but hate...Nah. Highly disappointed and deflated. Yes

vabeachcoug

7:57am

Sports hate is ok.

hooscoug

8:02am

Love stinks

4slyce

7:57am

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

conetah

7:56am

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

VirginiaPeanut

7:56am

athletes should get exempt.

Deleted

7:57am

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

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

7:58am

Then that makes him a schmuck

BYU '80

7:59am

really?

vabeachcoug

8:00am

Terrible. Painful.

DawgHaus

8:01am

that would be so shady

chismoso

8:02am

Collin Chandler wants to go the NBA? Will someone remind him Pope has coached nobody that’s in the NBA and Kevin Young

RdF3 Inactive user

7:56am

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

gangbusters

7:58am

I'm texting him right now.

jacobugath

7:58am

I think the Kentucky name alone gets more ears from scouts than most coaches

SUAVO

7:59am

Should we show up at the airport when Pope comes back for his things?

CougarForLife

7:56am

With pitchforks and torches. Probably should. Ha ha ha!

DawgHaus

7:57am

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

Don Carlton

7:56am

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

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

7:55am

Takin Collin Chandler is a gut punch. Hurts bad.

DawgHaus

7:59am

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

gmoney7 All-American

7:53am

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

Mexicougazul

7:54am

He already made 6 figures this year. We have the money.

Mjolnir

7:55am

$500k?

Mexicougazul

7:56am

<< Deleted >>

Mexicougazul

7:55am

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

Kdubb

7:56am

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

BYU '80

7:58am

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

Kdubb

Cougarboard.

crimedog Hater of Bernard

7:53am

I take back my kind words with the Chandler flip. This stinks. I should say I'm

vabeachcoug

7:50am

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

7:57am

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

Coug

7:58am

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

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

7:55am

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

Skeptical Optimist

7:52am

And where did it leave us

YOHONOMOTO

7:58am

With a fun year that exceeded expectations in the Big 12

Skeptical Optimist

8:02am

Can you go from 3rd in the WCC to 5th in the big12 and not grow the program?

SUAVO

7:57am

He actually went from 5th in the WCC to 6th in the WCC to 5th in an overrated

YOHONOMOTO

7:59am

So fun seeing CB come around to the truth.

YOHONOMOTO

7:58am

Rose wouldn't have done what Pope did in the Big 12.

BlueFever

8:00am

You don’t know that. Rose was far more accomplished than Pope

BYU '80

8:03am

Public Enemy #1 is no longer Whittingham, now it's Pompous Pope!

aaronmania

7:47am

Here's the difference between whit and Pope

Blueto

Chandler is gone.

Adrielle

I'd bet that most of Pope's damage to our program is done.

In Attiki, Stewart and tripple we trust. Bring it home boys

Chefcurry

In honor of today's events, I am eliminating the word "super" from my vocabulary

If he does great enough to warrant an NBA Head Coaching Hire after BYU

RockyBalboa

At least until after the 2024 nba playoffs are over. June-ish

wisconsincougs

Both good/bad scenarios would be in play. He's good....but goes NBA. Or maybe he's just average...doesn't like

mokelembembe

Why all the hate on Cougarboard lately, can't we all just get along? Coaches

Yeah, the problem is that BYU is trying to build to the top while others are

Burgess v Young

Elvis

7:44am

Both

Crowd Factor

7:45am

Burgess would be more likely to bring recruits with him and we hate that

Belboz

7:45am

Maybe Young would bring Booker or KD?

ballen

7:46am

What recruits would we want? Wahlin?

BYU '80

7:47am

None that Burgess recruited for another school

Belboz

7:50am

Young. Burgess biggest appeal was maybe helping keep recruits. That obviously

cougaman

7:45am

I don't think one can reasonably say that Burgess can't keep guys at BYU...Just because they are in the portal

Adrielle

7:48am

Burgess cannot do anything unless hired.

Elvis

7:56am

Why would Burgess come be an assistant to a guy younger than he

Elvis

7:59am

Would Young be a Crowton hire?

Soupie

7:45am

Both of them. Young as HC, Burgess back with a raise and AHC title

Mexicougazul

7:45am

That would be cool.

ballen

7:47am

Young!

coolblue

7:48am

Playing at the D2 D3 level in college is actually a good indicator for a success

Mostlyaccurate

One has personal relationships with KD and Book. You say that to any high school

Pope brings players from BYU= Sweet. Pope takes guys to KY=

fattycoug

There will be players who commit to whoever our new coach is

New to fandom I take it?

Buffalo

Any idiot would know Chandler is Kentucky level

fattycoug

Pope is just recruiting his own players.

WJCougar

We can’t have nice things

Croweater

7:46am

Watching the “wish him well” crowd finally turn on Pope

YOHONOMOTO

People who don't expect Pope try to win at Kentucky are unrealistic

Byu needs a lifer, like few, Bennett, drew. I think madsen could have been that

Idacoug

7:33am

I didn't know that. He wanted out as soon as he got in? What's the story

Don Carlton

7:34am

It’s not that he disliked byu, but he was looking to climb ladder…quickly.

Idacoug

7:36am

A coach who wins less than he loses would be less likely to choose to leave

Belboz

7:35am

We had that, his name was Dave Rose and it doesn't work out

OC Coug

7:38am

It’s a huge gamble. BYU’s coaching pool is so small.

Idacoug

7:40am

When you get a lifer, you find yourself wanting someone hungrier, with ambition

RevolutionDeathsquad

7:46am

Lifers are mostly a thing of the past

RockyBalboa

7:47am

Sucks to be excited about a recruit for years and never have him play.

Not sure it would be enforceable, including from a practical standpoint. How do

Shinshin

You don't. He still has to pay up if Chandler goes to Kentucky. Doesn't matter

Likely would violate anti trust laws.
