My free advice to Frank Jackson----just go to BYU

I tend to agree.

4/27/15 7:43pm

I agree with you. But some kids (like Jabari) don't like all that.

swishh_15

4/27/15 7:48pm

The hero part is fine, but it's about some tourney runs for me. I'm tired of one

Iman23

4/27/15 7:49pm

And Jabari is already forgotten at Duke.

Mantis Mutu

4/27/15 7:49pm

I've pretty much forgotten about him too. I don't follow his career or anything

OmahaThunderCoug

4/27/15 7:50pm

I hope he sees his flub in not returning to Duke for 1 more year at least.

Mantis Mutu

4/27/15 7:58pm

how exactly was it a flub in not returning to Duke?

The Dude Abides

4/27/15 8:14pm

Missed out on being likely the best player in one of the best NCAA runs in

Mantis Mutu

4/27/15 8:19pm

And he would have risked millions, if he had came back and got hurt....

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:27pm

Potentially in the long-term he loses money...not first 3-4 years of contract.

What an absolutely idiotic post

Epileptic Beagle

lol most ridiculous post of the day. You're full of it today man.

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 9:24pm

Going to the NBA while his stock was high as the right move. The risks he...

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:16pm

Yep. Jimmer is still talked about (even outside of BYU fandom).

BYUHgrad

4/27/15 8:04pm

And Bradley & his 1 year is still news 25 years later.

Mantis Mutu

RE: Yep. Jimmer is still talked about (even outside of BYU fandom).

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 9:02pm

Even if that's true, he doesn't care.

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:14pm

I think it's very sad if he doesn't.

Mantis Mutu

4/27/15 8:20pm

Why is it sad?

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:22pm

He was in a position to take part in a very special tradition, & forfeited it

Mantis Mutu

4/27/15 8:30pm

I think you overestimate how special it is, and forget that Jabari...

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:36pm

Jabari was still very much talked about at Duke this year.

SurreyDad

4/27/15 9:35pm

Jabari still would have been a top pick if he had gone to BYU.

WJCougar

4/27/15 7:49pm

But would have been much more beloved and remembered

TrueAndBlue

4/27/15 7:54pm

agreed.

BYUHgrad

4/27/15 8:05pm

as a one and done?

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 9:35pm

and he probably would have gone a round deeper in the NCAA tourney.

ag4cougs

4/27/15 7:55pm

. Good call...

The biggest advantage BYU has over Duke is this:

BYUheaven

4/27/15 8:04pm

top 25? that would be a final 4 or bust team

Cougarealist

4/27/15 8:11pm

Oh CB, there are plenty of bball teams that have 4 top 100 recruits. Plenty.

BYUheaven

4/27/15 10:53pm

Plenty with 4 top 25 recruits.

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 11:00pm

To top it off, Frank is not even 17 yet

Big Daddy D

4/27/15 8:14pm

No, it's this: At BYU, there are probably 9-12k...

Rocketman

4/27/15 8:16pm

how could he jump in as the starter over those guys AND be "given time" for legs

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 9:15pm

I think that's a horrible way to try and sell it. I want Jackson to come to...

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:20pm

But now it's 15 million Mormon so maybe it could work.

Traveshamockery

4/27/15 8:25pm

Or 5 million

Mr Bassman

4/27/15 11:22pm

This is a selling point of BYU. He won't be letting anybody down if he goes

idcougarfan

4/27/15 8:35pm

I really hope nobody tells him that, it would decrease our odds of getting him..

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:39pm

I'm thinking he already knows...

TrueAndBlue

4/27/15 8:43pm

That's true, but it's one thing for him to already know it and another for...

BengalCougar

4/27/15 8:46pm

you forgot to list Capt Moroni in your list of LDS Heroes

icecougar

4/27/15 9:19pm

i think it's more the fans that care about having a Mormon hero than

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 9:21pm

Duke: Piece of something great. BYU: Part of something great

Y4LYFE

4/27/15 9:30pm

Dook is a piece of something, that's for sure

vegas guey

4/27/15 9:52pm

I don't really care about Jabari. Couldn't care less about him.

IceBlue

4/27/15 9:41pm

And if he went to BYU, right at this moment you probably still wouldn't.

southernfriedcougar

4/27/15 10:23pm

Yup. Once he lifted that Duke T Shirt, I stopped caring about him.

coug203

4/28/15 8:02am

I wish him well, but I'll never care enough to follow his career. I looked him

Mickey

4/28/15 8:11am

Things worked out pretty well for Jabari

LaVell Edwards is a Mormon hero, and he went to Utah State

OpusX

4/27/15 11:30pm

Agree with everything except your lavell edwards point is way off

Southpaw102

4/28/15 10:32am

whiffed on the example but I agree with over-arching point...

icecougar

4/28/15 3:20pm

Oddly enough, I had the same advice for him.

Real Men Wear Blue

Maybe he doesn't want to be a "mormon hero". Maybe he just wants to be a
