I know there was some concern from a few posters that Chandler may want to move back to Utah with his now Fiance.
But according to this post she will be joining him at UK.

Chandler Returning to UK
- Thread starter DraftCat
- Start date
Excellent. Chandler is the most improved player on the team imo.
That’s great! Keeping guys like him is something Cal could never do or didn’t want to, not sure which it was.
Nice pickup he should be a STUD next year and big time contributor
GREAT NEWS! I have been one of the most skeptical about it!
He was a highly rated recruit for a reason. From game 1 until now he has transformed and it shouldn’t have shocked anyone it was going to take a while after not competing for 2 years. Continuity is so big to build a sustainable program and compete year in year out. Noah Perry and Chandler are as close as we are going to get to watching basketball like we did growing up seeing them grow from year to year.
That’s awesome. Great kid and lots of potential to explode as a sophomore
That is bigger than almost anyone we can get out of the portal. Young man is going to blow up next year. He's physical, great size, very skilled and has some dog in him. Big news.
Great news but I hate how creepy Twitter can be
Great. Pretty amazing the difference in his first half of the season and second half
Continuity within the program was our biggest issue the last 15 years, this would be huge.
That’s part of the reason I cringe when people complained about our 3 freshmen this year saying they weren’t talented enough to play here. They were never supposed to be forced into those roles this early but we had no choice. It’s easy to say you want your8-12 players to score 15 a game but it’s not realistic in this day and age to have really good players sitting at the end of the bench… In two years guess what we will have some down there because they WANT to be here and were given time to develop. No some may not play 25 mpg but having guys that are a + for 10-15 mpg is very valuable with injuries and the SEC grind.
I agree. When I saw him play vs. our early SEC opponents, I was skeptical.
But now, he is no longer a liability on O or D.
Getting Chandler back was one of the biggest missions for the staff this Spring.
The kid is going to be a critical piece over the next few seasons. This is huge news.

2nd year in this offense will take it up a level, and allow Pope to work on defense more!
That is interesting because I believe BYU doesn’t get scheduled on Sundays. Will Pope coach on Sunday?
Senior Chandler is going to be a bad dude at the current trajectory.
I would think if Steve Young, great great grandson of Brigham Young, could play in the NFL for over 10 years, surely is ok to play one game on Sunday.
Lol this is UK. Of course he's coaching.
Great news for the UK basketball team, the University of Kentucky, and Lexington itself. I'm glad he feels at home.
It probably all depends on the time of the game. If they can attend services then it will be ok. My son is very devout so he doesn't play when he has to miss church.
Chandler was always talented enough to play for Kentucky. He was inevitably going to be REALLY rusty after taking two years off though. It kinda cracks me up that people wrote him off after a few games early this year.
Great news, this guy is going to be a huge contributor as he continues to develop, really fun player to watch when he is on the floor.
Missions? Please no more, he’s already served 2 years!
He’s going to fight to start. I know everyone has JJ penciled in, and they might be right. But I expect CC to earn starter level minutes. If he can’t, we are probably really really good.
I thought Mormons celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday? Participation in, or even watching sports on the Sabbath is forbidden in many religious denominations. It is considered unholy to get that excited, and hateful in the case of some people, on the Sabbath.
I am a Christian myself, and I disagree. Sports are one of the few things uniting people instead of dividing right now. I'm more of a Bill Walton type when it comes to athletics. I see all of the beautiful aspects of it, to the extent that the actual winning and losing becomes almost secondary to me. The pain I will feel when we lose will be due to the fact that I will never get to see the particular group of great young men and women play again.
