Same. Maturity level should be there already with being a missionary for 2 years. Just need to get him in bb shape, and it sounds like CMP already has a S&C program in place from his days at BYU.I'm intrigued by this kid as a player. He may end up being a big contributor in year one
Pope knows he has to put his nose to the grindstone. Hopefully in future years he won't have to run around as much. It can wear a person down over time. Still. What he has done in these few short weeks is nothing short of amazing and I couldn't be more excited for our future.true, could you EVER imagine ccc doing any of this
not in a million years, he would have thought it was below his stature
At this point I don't think he is 6'6".So Coach Pope definitely isn't 6'10 right?
Pope just loves UK and is relishing being UK coach. I don't think he cares what people think of whether he's working hard enough, nor should he. He a genuine dude.Pope knows he has to put his nose to the grindstone. Hopefully in future years he won't have to run around as much. It can wear a person down over time. Still.

I think Chandler is going to surprise a lot of folks as a frosh.Good man, good player.
If he takes a pic with Travis Perry and is 3 inches shorter we need to investigate if he's a shape shifter.At this point I don't think he is 6'6".
Pope truly appreciates everything about this school and program. The other guy did not....at allCrazy he went to the airport with his own family (Pope) to meet the kid. Crazy in a good way. I mean what kind of world were we living in with Cal? He did some good things for Kentucky, but looking back it's vividly clear he was doing them for his own ego. Pope is just overall a better human being than Cal will ever be.
So Coach Pope definitely isn't 6'10 right?
Yeah, this is the guy I think many of our fans are overlooking. I keep seeing fans do these projected depth charts that list him behind our other guards …and I think they may end up being proven quite wrong about that.I think Chandler is going to surprise a lot of folks as a frosh.
You're not the only one who thought that. It first crossed my mind when I attended Pope's first press conference. Derek Anderson was like barely shorty than him. I remember DA being like what.. 6'6 or something?So Coach Pope definitely isn't 6'10 right?
Then you have to consider that Pope is like 6'10 and Chandler is 6’7”?
Back when he played at UK he was over 6 10 by about 1/2 in or so. That was in his sneakers. Today he probably like most 50 year old people are shorter than when they were 20 years old. I would guess Pope is between 6 8 nd 6 9 now.So Coach Pope definitely isn't 6'10 right?
will probably play behind some guys to start the year just because he hasn't played in so long but he could be really dangerous down the stretch of the season into postseason playYeah, this is the guy I think many of our fans are overlooking. I keep seeing fans do these projected depth charts that list him behind our other guards …and I think they may end up being proven quite wrong about that.
Remember, this dude was a top 30 ranked recruit, is extremely athletic …and is now two years more physically and mentally mature than other freshman.
It’s gonna be interesting to see what he looks like after those two years away. We’ve never had a player in that situation before.
I would love to know if he was able to play ball at all and if so, how much, while he was away.will probably play behind some guys to start the year just because he hasn't played in so long but he could be really dangerous down the stretch of the season into postseason play
OP said something about USA. Love my country. 🇺🇸Dayum Boy....
