For example, it's evident from their videos that Chandler plays stronger around the rim, has better footwork and touch, and basically is more comfortable with the ball than Amir Williams. This would lead me to hope the staff at least looks into him. To assume videos show nothing to anybody and don't even warrant posting on a CBB board in late April is silly.
But anyway, it's too bad about the academics. IMHO, Chandler will end up a better prospect than Williams, Adams and Plumthree, and given that O'Bryant isn't interested, it would be nice if we could pursue him.
