Over the last two years, seven scholarship players have transferred away from the BYU basketball program. Most of those players transferred after Mark Pope left BYU for Kentucky. Then there was Collin Chandler who signed with BYU out of high school before deciding to follow Mark Pope to Kentucky after he got home. Today, we're checking in on those transfers to see where they are today and how they have fared since they left BYU.
