Why didn’t Chandler wait a couple of weeks to get home and at least meet KY?

Pope gave him an ultimatum and he jumped at it

Well, in that case you may as well post it as if it’s a fact.

Leave the guy alone, he had a vision in which he saw it happen that way.

To be fair it does seem that he is a big fan of whatever Coach Pope is selling

Probably just a invitation/opportunity. UK is a pretty big draw for most young ballers.

Eh. I wish him well, but in a passive sense. He was great for BYU. Why would I wish ill upon him?

I won't actively wish either well, and take a passive interest in both. I might

Last-minute poachings like that are very awkward & uncomfortable for everyone.

Got it, so your response is he is going to be rich. Its fine if I wish him ill.

Rich people don't need us. Just ask TNT.

LOL, how old are you? Eleven?

Do you believe wealthy people need the middle class?

What does that have to do with your statement? Stay on the subject.

If Pope weren't over such an elite program I MIGHT be worried about that a bit.

I think KY will be a great recruiter and having Burgess who has proved that

Pope will rarely if ever go head-to-head w KY in recruiting battles. Pope's

Your statement was Pope being successful at Kentucky would benefit BYU. How?

Blue for Life

May 3, 2:19pm

The fact that he was BYU's coach will certainly not be forgotten. Particularly w him being Mormon & all.

SinkingQuffa

May 3, 2:26pm

I personally think it's this. I suspect Pope pressured him to decide quickly.

JJCoug

he committed to pope, not byu. he wouldn't have come to byu without pope.

he must really like Pope that much.

He does.

How many times does this have to be hashed out. Good grief. He committed to Pope
