There's a chance BYU gets Kevin Young as head coach & both Barret Peery & Chris Burgess as assistants

blueaussie

Both Kentucky & BYU B-ball destroyed for near future by Pope's hire. Desperation

Rudi

8:41am

You're wrong on this. A new coach can get BYU winning in March faster than Pope.

It’s fascinating to me how much of what we perceive as happiness comes from how

gwalker

Good perspective. At the end of the day, there will be a BYU mens team next year

All that makes me think he would never come here. But what do I know.

jg94

8:40am

BYU needs to hire like they mean it. Enough with all the delays.

CougarMandias

8:38am

BYU hires have to go through AD, AVP, President, and BOT. Lots of red tape

arizonacougarfan

8:39am

Exactly

CougarMandias

8:41am

It's Tuesday. This all went down over the weekend.

Bandersnatch

The word was out on Thursday

CougarMandias

Whoever ends up being hired…if they can bring the program back to a top 25 level

TheMediator

8:38am

Dang...I thought there was a sentiment that Chandler would follow Burgess to either BYU or Utah, not Pope. But, tbh

Preppy All-American

8:38am

Chandler is getting a big NIL payday most likely too

Cougs4Lfe

8:39am

After the payday he got committing to us and never playing a minute

pegushin

8:40am

I hope (for Chandler) that he actually develops and plays. Would suck to chase KY, and be a bench player.

That sentiment was not well founded

is NIL money paid to players through the Universtity of through third party channels? This has confused me...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

8:36am

its not paid through the university

cwilke1

8:37am

It's through 3rd party

The Y's Insider

8:39am

Let me remind you what BYU is elite at…

MD Rebel Coug

8:36am

Also landscaping

COUGND

Good freaking grief

TNT

8:40am

Except for the playing surface at LES.

foofcoug

*sniff* TNT doesn't really care about those things

TNT

8:37am

Pope gets fired in two years and Chandler plays less than 5 mins per game. Pope

I’m not to that degree with chandler. I hope he does well and can make noise as

vabeachcoug

Kalani just needs to focus on winning. It's his only out.

BlueFever

8:37am

It's been a long time since the prospects for both programs were this bleak

BYU Fan

8:43am

Bottom line, we need to bring in our new Coach ASAP so we can move on. Forget about Pope and focus on keeping the rest

Are you streaming?

8:38am

Well...If I use YTTB technically that would be streaming, right?

ordinary tri guy

Seems like Chandler had a busy p-day yesterday

Warner

He likes zoom........

kansascougar

8:34am

I was excited that Chandler committed to BYU, but anymore I never care about

Cougar TD

8:33am

Pope was someone who just loved to hear himself talk and was always flapping his gums. If Kevin Young is actually hired,

RdF3 Inactive user

8:33am

How do you know he can win in March?

RockyBalboa

8:35am

I don't. But I do know how highly respected Kevin Young is around the NBA. I suspect there's some substance to that.

RdF3

8:35am

For sure, but that has no bearing on if he can win yet as a Head Coach

RockyBalboa

8:44am

Fans, looking to byu to lead them into the future!

Division Bell Recovering

8:31am

Fans looking to Brian Santiago

Corn

8:39am

My prediction...Collin Chandler will play 1 or maybe 2 years at Kentucky and transfer...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

8:31am

He probably plays one or two years and then goes to the NBA

kC Cougar

8:31am

He is that good? He is a talented kid but that's pretty crazy talent level

TNT

8:35am

My prediction, Pope fails at UK within 3 years.

Swag Kazekage

8:31am

Chandler would go to Utah if that happens

arizonacougarfan

8:32am

Depends. Who would be Utah's coach at that time?

RockyBalboa

8:34am

Might be Burgess if we get Young

arizonacougarfan

8:38am

If the hair fits...

kccougar

8:33am

Chandler is really good, not your typical top byu recruit.

Dr T-bone

8:33am

He will be like watching Furphy this year but slightly worse.

Forbidden Fruit

8:35am

Then he’ll transfer to the U

pegushin

8:34am

Even when we were all positive about him...what did we wonder? Is he a natural PG? shooting guard?.....I don't

mokelembembe

the true problem today is NIL and Transfer Portal. No one else, not even Pope.

conetah

Smart is one way of describing it.

Desert Rat

Same old story. When has this happened before?

BYU '80

W/ many other teams. Have you not seen this scenario play out before elsewhere?

Desert Rat

USU, UVU, OU, TCU, USC, Oregon, Colorado, Arkansas…

Hammurabi

8:36am

To be honest, Pope didn't "do a great job with [BYU]".

Hmm.. others disagree. Anyway, then maybe the next HC will! So good news then?

VinnyBYU

8:28am

What % of players stick with their recruitment after the head coach leaves?

Kdubb

8:27am

Kevin Young "is in line for a head coaching job." It's happening.

spidercoug

8:27am

hes not going to know anything about college.

Deleted

8:27am

This alludes to him getting the Hornets job, no?

Kdubb

8:28am

BYU changed their mascot to the Hornets.

Hypnotoad

8:29am

No. It's just an NBA blog, so they pointed out he interviewed there.

spidercoug

8:29am

You seriously think the head coach job they're alluding to is BYU?

Hypnotoad

8:31am

I just don't see how it is alluding to the Hornets either. Just says elsewhere.

spidercoug

8:33am

I think they would specify it's a college job

Hypnotoad

8:35am

How fun would it be for Kentucky to play us a the MC?

The Y's Insider

Yeah, that isn't ever going to happen

Sure, but they only won because a biased decision from Chuck Norris.

Moops

Burgess / Chandler

VinnyBYU

8:24am

Clearly his value to Chandler is overplayed. He was still committed to BYU

ordinary tri guy

8:33am

A couple CB posters have inferred that Chandler has already been getting BYU NIL

porl thompson

8:24am

Sounds like you inferred that.

kccougar

8:29am

What the?

porl thompson

8:34am

Our former coach is now dead to me

kC Cougar

well, reality is most of us were never alive to him.

IGlowInTheDark

I thought NIL was going going to be generally a positive thing for college sports, but wiht the unregulated wild west

conetah

As an out of stater, I agree. One good win by Utah will quickly be forgotten

Lalau

And this from a guy that would root for North Korea against UofU basketball.

Don't NLI only last 1 year? I thought if you go on a mission it's already expired by the time you get back.

Perseguir

It says in one article I read that BYU released him from his NLI.

Maybe. Someone posted that UK had signed something like 45 players rated higher

Probably not.

Then why take him now.

Bird in the hand. Chandler's a great player that can contribute on any team.

Ol Big Bear

He lost 3 5 stars and a 4 star to the portal

Cougz19

8:22am

A lot of players have left Kentucky as well, and the recruits have all Decommitted... Pope maybe has like 4 or 5 players
