I'm bummed about losing Chandler, I think he can be a really good player these next couple years.

I think he could be more than a 6th man. He reminds me a lot of Richie Saunders who started all 60 games he played for BYU his junior and senior years after coming off the bench his first two.
Collin started 31 of the 36 games he played this past season and was far from the problem. He was probably the third most important and productive player on the roster. Even though it was a disappointing season for Kentucky, that wasn't because of Collin Chandler.👍 1Comment

It begs another discussion, probably suited for another thread, but the redshirt rules are just stupid considering what they allow in Football now. If they aren't going to allow 5 to play 5 then at least let kids play a certain number of games and still be able to retain their redshirt. football allows 1/3 of the regular season, so why can't basketball allow something like 10 games. Sure would have been nice to see if Hawthorne could have been any help to us or not this year."It don't make much sense that common sense don't make no sense no more" John PrineComment

If that's the case, it sounds kinda like I said earlier that I hoped would happen. He came in asking for the moon, and was told to go shop himself to find out his true value then come back with a more reasonable request. If it's in line with where we're at then he can come back, if not, then good luck at your new home."It don't make much sense that common sense don't make no sense no more" John Prine👍 2Comment

Lexington is a fun town with lots to do a fan base that lives and breathes basketball and a large NIL budget. Something is seriously wrong that KY is missing on most of their first choices in the portal. Seems like KY casts a wide net over many players instead of zeroing in a a guy or 2 and getting them.Comment

Unless he signs an all-star team, coach Pope is in a no-win situation. If he goes after one or two and doesn't get both, or either, then some of the fans will criticize him for not casting a wider net.Lexington is a fun town with lots to do a fan base that lives and breathes basketball and a large NIL budget.

Exactly. He gets criticized for anything and everything he does or doesn't do. And most of the time the criticism is based on assumption or inuendos.Comment
