- The guard entered the NCAA transfer portal Wednesday with a do-not-contact tag, a label that blocks outreach from other schools and often signals a chosen destination.
- Reporting from On3 names BYU as the frontrunner for the Utah native, with Yahoo Sports noting local interest that also includes Utah.
- Chandler has two years of eligibility and averaged 9.7 points this season while hitting 41% from three, starting 31 of 36 games as Kentucky’s primary perimeter threat.
