Collin Chandler is the latest Kentucky basketball player to share a photo of his new locker in Lexington, revealing his new jersey number as a Wildcat. Today, Chandler posted a look at his UK locker and the name placard above it. In it, we see Chandler will wear No. 5 for his upcoming freshman season.
Chandler is Kentucky’s first No. 5 since Terrence Clarke in 2020-21 and the 21st in school history. Other recent 5s include Immanuel Quickley (2018-2020), Kevin Knox (2017-18), Malik Monk (2016-17), and Andrew Harrison (2013-15). Other notable 5s are Wayne Turner (1995-99) and Travis Ford (1991-94).
