Collin Chandler was an Incredible Missionary

He should feel a strong sense of pride in serving with honor

RockyBalboa

May 3, 7:40am

If he had chosen to come to BYU and succeeded there, considering that BYU is now in the Big 12, he would by drafted

Adrielle

May 3, 7:47am

He isn’t at BYU so he doesn’t help BYU.

Archaea

May 3, 7:47am

He’s still a good ambassador for the Church, which is a good thing

RealTaysomHill

It is irrelevant to BYU sports.

ummmm

I don’t get the obsession with non BYu players.

You should probably turn off this category and enjoy the rest of your day 😉

Archaea

I sure am glad that there are people like you in this world to “correct” others.

Look for someone else to criticize. You are who you are.

Archaea

May 3, 2:23pm

And you are the person to “correct” others. Got it! Thanks

Ok guy who treats the board like Facebook with boring travel nonsense

Thanks Archaea’s fanboy.

You don’t have any fans.

What are you even talking about? “If his other service was for the eyes of man?” Get outta here, man.

RealTaysomHill

May 3, 8:17am

Rooting is a weird concept.

Archaea

May 3, 8:19am

Do you know what’s also weird? Suggesting he went on a mission “for the eyes of man” just because he went to a different

People praising him

Archaea

LOLOL. Just how are you doing with all your "initial commitments"?

Just fine. Honored them.

And in your case, it seems mostly just BYU failure

unctoothman

May 3, 2:14pm

Disagree. It's very relevant to Church owned BYU sports. Anything that enhances the Church, enhances BYU.

You’re irrelevant to BYU sports. He still has eligibility at least.

This isn't about BYU, this is just showing respect that he had the guts to

BYU Fan

How many gave up potential millions in earning potential? I served but I can see

arcawley

May 3, 10:36am

People give up more than earning potential.

ochobeeguy

May 3, 12:14pm

Sure, but that certainly was a unique factor in Chandler’s decision 💁

arcawley

May 3, 2:13pm

Where did he mention doing a service to BYU?

BYU'01

short sighted post of the day

May 3, 12:41pm

Sounds like you know he was a missionary.

rivercitycoug

May 3, 7:47am

They’re all in on Pope, not Kentucky or BYU

1984coug

May 3, 7:47am

Exactly. Otherwise, why not commit to UK before his mission?

NorthernLight

May 3, 8:29am

Uhhh...because Kentucky and Calapari had no interest in him?

Madam Pattirini

No need to bring up the names of others to praise CC

PokeMAN

I don’t think his sacrifice differs greatly from any others’ sacrifice made to serve a mission

2FarGone

May 3, 7:52am

Good point. All give up school, Gfs

Archaea

May 3, 7:53am

his professional opportunity cost is much greater relative to almost all others

scootsy

May 3, 8:09am

What a ridiculous statement. Who are you to judge the sacrifices of others?

WabiSabi

May 3, 9:16am

Maybe. We don’t know if he is an nba player. But obviously that likelihood

BYU '80

No it isn’t. A profession is a profession.

2FarGone

May 3, 10:56am

It was simple for me to go on a mission — I had nothing better to do and nothing of note going on in my life. Like 99.7%

Zach Morris

Time is something that can be priceless. Every male missionary give up 2 years of something that is priceless to..

He gave up a scholarship? I didn't realize he is gonna pay tuition at Kentucky.

It's not how it worked in '84 even.

You follow a dirty sport, then, my friend. Very dirty.

SinkingQuffa

I don't think I am your friend but it's possible

Cougrrrs Roll

I'll side with the possibility. You're probably a fine enough guy.

SinkingQuffa

Thank you. You seem OK yourself

Cougrrrs Roll

IMO, he’d have the same playing time issues at BYU this year.

Coach Pope's 9 recruits so far include 5 seniors including 2 senior guards

If he succeeds in the Big 12 he won't get drafted?

jamesallenrocks

That’s great that he served a mission, but why should I care as a BYU fan?

I’m open to any evidence at all that he was an incredible missionary

All he gets at Kentucky over BYU is Pope. The competition is the same, fan

Good post. However, I am curious about your statement about him being on NBA

Cool, I just have no reason to follow or cheer for him now.

Yep.

Chandler, curly hair blond kid who signed with BYU but then decided to go to UK

Why does everyone keep talking like KY has a harder schedule than BYU?

ochobeeguy

Generational trauma?

Madam Pattirini

I think you meant UK rather than KY 🙂

combblai

I said exactly what I meant

ochobeeguy

May 3, 2:44pm

The idea that going to UK will make him more draftable than playing in the Big 12 is just silly.

Mostly I hope he continues to be a great ambassador, along with Pope.
