Kentucky signee Collin Chandler is back in the gym
Collin Chandler was the first recruiting victory for new Kentucky head coach Mark Pope.
Although Chandler hasn’t played organized basketball in over two years while taking a two-year mission to Sierra Leone and London, he’s a former Top 40 recruit from the 2022 class with plenty of upside.
Now that he’s finished with his mission and is back in the United States, Chandler isn’t wasting any time getting back into playing shape. On Tuesday, he posted to his Instagram Story a picture of him getting up shots in a gym while on vacation in Hawaii with the caption “Oh I’ve missed you”.
Time to knock that rust off.
Once signed with Pope to play at BYU, Chandler flipped his commitment to Kentucky on April 16. He arrived home in Utah from his mission just a few days ago and was greeted at the Salt Lake City airport by Pope and assistant coach Cody Fueger. He’s one of two incoming freshmen (Travis Perry) for Pope and Co. going into the 2024-25 season.
So what exactly is Kentucky getting in the 6-foot-4, 20-year-old rookie shooting guard? KSR’s Steven Peake and Brandon Ramsey dove into the film to find out. Watch below.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the approval of nearly $23 million in funding to support natural disaster recovery throughout the Southeast.

According to FEMA, Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee will administer more than $2.1 million for disaster unemployment assistance to help those who may not be able to work as a direct result of a disaster.
Kentucky, alongside Georgia and Tennessee, was also awarded $2.4 million to fund crisis counseling and mental health support.
The funds will help pay for counselors and other services to help people with disaster-related stress and trauma, according to FEMA.
