I blame Jarom Jordan's misplaced "Colonel" nickname for this whole mess.

I blame those that consistently misspell his name. There is no “t” in Richie.

There’s not ie any longer either. It’s just “Rich”

Do you have any evidence that there's a substantial money difference?

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you (long term). But, grabbing a larger bag

Networking in Utah will be tough for him. He’ll be “that guy who chased the money to Kentucky” instead of a “BYU guy”

Nope

PumaFanatico

And this is a very good point... Pope is going to have to start dishing out money to bigger players...

1000% agreed! Signed Brian Santiago

I think he is doing this just as much for the coach as the money

Then he's a bad judge of character

Playing at a top program of all time for the coach that he has been playing for

His wife was a byu bball player. You’d think the loyalty would be stronger

Loyal to his coach. Somethign fans don't quite understand is that players commit

In Saunders case he was a byu fan first. While there is loyalty to coaches

These are good points, it makes me think there is so much more to the decision

Hope he sits the bench like Lohner.

BYU '80

Apr 23, 12:21pm

But I want him back, unlike Lohner

He can go, but the headband stays at BYU! We'll sue for custody if we have to.

Saunders was easily my favorite player. This one stings. NGL.

Good. No room for 3 stars on our roster.

Such a bummer - loved the way he plays

Anyone have eyes on his front porch?

Not porch but nothing on his IG yet.

Solid 6th man, hopefully he can keep that type of role at Kentucky

Dang. One of my faves. Now he’s a nobody to me. Hard to cheer for individual players in this era of team switching.
