Chandler, an offensive tackle from Jefferson, Georgia, made an official visit to Louisville this weekend, where he watched the Cardinals knock off Duke at the KFC Yum! Center. He said all along that he was looking for a school ready to make a run at a national championship next year. His heavy lean to Louisville after taking an official visit helped push him over the edge and shut things down.

Trying to make a run for it all next year! Not gonna settle for anything less??

After originally planning to take an official visit to Oklahoma State next weekend, I’m told he has cancelled the trip and has effectively eliminated other schools.

Fortunately for Oklahoma State, plenty of other irons are still in the fire — specifically at offensive line where OSU needs the biggest finish as they march toward signing day.
