Jaxson Robinson is the 86th highest rated portal player, per evanmiya.com

Didn't you know? A guard with a 7 foot wingspan is worth 7 figures

nova_coug_fan

May 1, 8:05am

And how many of the 85 above him are prime scorers? And how many of those would even consider BYU?

SinkingQuffa

May 1, 8:06am

You haven't made an argument for paying him. If you have that much

Plato

EXACTLY

Indy Coug

May 1, 8:09am

You could make the same argument for our HC, couldn't you?

SinkingQuffa

May 1, 8:15am

No. You can't take his salary and pay it to 2 better coaches.

Plato

May 1, 8:29am

Don't we all hope, anyway?

SinkingQuffa

May 1, 8:35am

sure we could. it would be unorthodox, but BYU is absolutely free to set up

He shot 30% from three in big12 play. Great ncaa tourney game helps us forget

BYU '80

May 1, 8:40am

BYU has 17,000 seats to sell every night. More than ten thousand seats went unsold last year. Total revenue from ticket

HarlemCoug

He's not worth more than other players already on BYU's roster. That's reason

Indy Coug

May 1, 8:11am

There are zero players on our roster worth more financially than Jax would be.

HarlemCoug

May 1, 8:15am

Fair points but what would that do to the culture of the TEAM?

Going forward, all teams will have this issue (just like they do in pro sports).

HarlemCoug

May 1, 8:25am

Pro teams DO have locker room issues over this all the time.

HarlemCoug

Sure they do... there's a limit to the funds in the collective...

runnincoug

May 1, 8:46am

Fans just need to donate more to the collective 🙂

BYU Fan

On the Y's Guys podcast, Trevin talked about messing with the players on another team about that

El Jefe

May 1, 8:25am

Except BYU can't pay him so his increase in ticket sales for BYU doesn't matter

BYU Fan

AD can tell donors to give an extra $1MM to the collectives rather than CC.

jvquarterback

May 1, 10:10am

But that doesn't have anything to do with tickets sold

BYU Fan

May 1, 10:21am

AD gets more $ in ticket sales by redirecting funds to NIL.

jvquarterback

May 1, 12:52pm

Ticket sales don’t go to NIL

PumaFanatico

Winning sells tickets

Hufflepuff

I don’t think they’re better than him. He’s the guy with an NBA ceiling. That

I'd refer you to this post.

Where's the report of the $1m number coming from?

inertiaman

May 1, 8:10am

We are probably arguing about a number that isn't realistic. Then again, didn't

Plato

May 1, 8:34am

Jax is replaceable. But it all depends on who they’re replacing him with

whoneedscorners?

May 1, 8:25am

Replaceable on paper yes. But the continuity of bringing back a player like that

bigbossbyu

BYU has no budget. The church has no budget. We are big boys.

opny

May 1, 8:34am

UK will throw a huge bag at him, guaranteed. He would be the feather in mp’s hat - BYU guy and Big12

Cougarpride

He is talented and fun, but he shoots crazy shots and seldom rebounds

Croweater

May 1, 11:46am

He makes sense for Kansas IMO

stansburycoug

May 1, 12:59pm

He showed that he could hit the 3 at below 30%

PumaFanatico

May 1, 1:09pm

It would be interesting to break down his shots based on selection

stansburycoug

May 1, 1:18pm

I’m hesitant to accept your assumption that he would be 50/40/90, but

PumaFanatico

May 1, 1:43pm

He was very close OOC
