The college basketball transfer portal just got a major new entry, and it has a direct line to Provo. Kentucky guard Collin Chandler, a former BYU commit, entered the portal Wednesday with a "do not contact" label, signaling a likely predetermined destination.

Chandler, who spent the last two seasons at Kentucky under Mark Pope, is reportedly looking to return home to Utah with his wife to be closer to family. This makes BYU the overwhelming favorite to secure the talented junior's commitment, a move that would be a major coup for Kevin Young's program.

The 6'5" guard showed significant development in Lexington, especially as a sophomore. After a quiet freshman year averaging 2.7 points, Chandler broke out this past season, starting 31 games and averaging 9.7 points while shooting an impressive 41% from beyond the arc. His athleticism allows him to be more than just a shooter, with the ability to finish above the rim and create his own shot.

BYU's pitch is clear and compelling: look at the development of Richie Saunders. Under the new staff, Saunders transformed from a solid contributor into the Big 12's Most Improved Player, nearly doubling his scoring output. Chandler possesses similar, if not greater, All-Big 12 potential and would immediately become a focal point of the Cougars' offense. For a player with his skill set looking for a starring role closer to home, BYU presents the perfect opportunity to elevate his game to new heights.
