Tempering expectations for unproven players is a good approach.

However, it is important to note that leading into last season @ Auburn, the team went on an international tour and Chance was one of the most impressive players.  His coach raved about his play, his potential, etc. as he was one of their most impactful performers -- and he appeared poised to be in a position to garner extensive playing time.

Then, he sustained a "lower body injury" prior to the start of practice.  He toughed it out for a bit, but was eventually shut down when he couldn't physically perform.

If you saw him, he was impaired.

Now, that doesn't mean that he'll bounce back physically.  By all accounts, this year's "lower body injury" was on the opposite leg of the one he injured at Auburn.  So that's disconcerting.  And who knows -- maybe he'll be injury prone from here on out and never reliable.

Time will tell.

But I wouldn't put much stock in how he played after October 2022, due to him being injured / substantially impaired.
