Good morning, BBN!
It looks like others outside of BBN are starting to recognize the special talent Collin Chandler is.
He was named in this article from College Hoops Today in their list of 20 breakout players for the 2025-26 college basketball season.
While John Rothstein didn’t rank them, he did have this excerpt about Chandler:
Collin Chandler, Kentucky: Returning personnel is far more important than incoming personnel in college basketball and that’s why Chandler should have an excellent chance
to carve out a role in the Wildcats’ deep rotation. The 6-5 guard already has a year under his belt in Mark Pope’s system and had nine points in 10 minutes in Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament win over Troy last March. Don’t be shocked if Chandler makes a jump during his second year in Lexington.
Chandler had a very impressive ending to the year, and with that experience riding into this season, that could play a huge part in what this team can do.
There’s a lot of minutes that need to go around on this lineu,p but surely Chandler will, at least start out, getting a lot of them.
