Kentucky’s Collin Chandler made it an even more memorable weekend for himself for the holidays in New York.

While in The Big Apple for the Wildcats’ game in the CBS Sports Classic against Ohio State, Chandler got down on a knee in Central Park and proposed.

At least somebody won in NYC!

These kids need to spend less time proposin' and more time workin' on their free throws.

 

[BigKari]

Right on schedule

We shot good from free throws last game so maybe work on midrange or defense

Maybe Chandler getting down on one knee will inspire Williams and garrisson to hustle and dive on the floor for loose balls.

A teenage Mormon from Utah getting married at 18/19. Hmmm...

 

[Zissou87]

Looks like she lives in Utah. That said, at the end of the year I think we will get a "I want to thank the coaching staff, my teammates, but most importantly BBN...yada, yada, yada...after much prayer and discussion, I have decided to enter the transfer portal."

Couldn’t he just get an extra wife in Lexington to balance things out? (joking)

 

[CrazyCat74]

Oh boy.. Women take the mojo out of young athletes..

I wasn't sure how much mojo Chandler had anyway but poor guy is gonna fade more than likely.

Didn't work out to well for CJ Frederick either..lol

Wouldn't surprise me as he is hardly playing. BYU can probably pay him a lot of NIL as well if they want him.

The Mormon loophole to having a fun college life.

Me: “Why you Mormon, bro?”
Collin: “MorWomen!”

Ole boy is at UK surrounded by Kentucky Goddesses and gets engaged to a girl 1000 miles away, way to work the problem. Jk Congrats to him if that’s what he knows he wants.

Mama said. Girls are the devil. Took me 40 years to figure out mama was right.

He's in the same boat as Perry in that he hasn't shown the coaching staff enough NOT to go to the portal at his position.
I could definitely see him heading back to BYU in the spring.
I'd hate to see him go though.
Would love to see a 24 yr old senior Chandler.

Yea. I’ve thought this stage was too big for him for awhile now.

Did you hear the one about the Amish guy who left his liberal, skank of a wife?

His reasoning?

"Two Menn-anight."

 

[BlueSince92]

Congratulations to the young man!

 

[Larry Skaggs]

He did his mission work in Central Park

 

[kyboy1998]

Mormons are convicted people. I’d say he’s a virgin and loaded with testosterone and ready to get after it.

I think Perry is in a different situation. He doesn't have the pro potential of Colin Chandler, UK is where Perry can maximize his NIL, and he's just 3.5 hours away from his hometown.

So he was hanging out with his girl in NYC during the trip? I thought the boys all spent time around each other the whole time on those tournament type trips? No wonder we got blasted by OSU.

I didn't play D1 ball, but I played DII and when we had away games we were stuck with each other the whole time. Maybe it varies from coach to coach.

 

[KYFOSSIL]

How about you all just congratulated the young man or say nothing at all. There are plenty of threads to discuss howpoorly the team played

 

[ManitouDan]

This board has bottomed out .. not one pic of bride to be . Worthless drivel anymore …ha ha

 

[cat tat2]

Congratulations and best wishes to the beautiful young couple.

 

[StubbornPenny]

See what happens when you don’t lock the kids in the hotel?

Mama said. Girls are the devil. Took me 40 years to figure out mama was right.

The devil walks into a church. Everybody runs for the exits except one old man. The devil says, "Aren 't you afraid of me?" "Heck no!" the man replies, "I've been married to your sister for the past 50 years!"

There’s a pic of him proposing to her in the article that I attached to the original thread, but it doesn’t show her face.

 

[billoliver40]

Congrats to the young couple.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Congrats to them .

 

[sportspm]

I’m impressed that he averages 0.7 steaks 🥩 per game. 😉

What part of her does it show? Just curious.

I wondered about that. I wonder if the lights of the Big Apple were too distracting for them. Did they spend too much time doing and seeing other things rather than practicing and concentrating on the game, which is why they were there.

 

[NociHTTP]

Maybe he could help get Amari engaged.

IKR, ask Arky.

 

[jr40831]

I'm guessing she's a Mormon, so he has to buy the cow.

He probably told Coach Pope his plans and he said it was fine. Basketball is important. But so is love and life. I mean she looks like ecstatic in that photo.
