I'd like to split my vote 50/50 for Hall and Saunders

Who is our starting PG if Hall doesn’t come back?

Of those that entered the Portal it was Hall

One more reason we might wanna consider matching UK's offer to Jax...

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

I don't think he's worth that much.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

7:24am

I do

kC Cougar

7:46am

Except all portaleers might expect exorbitant amounts, too.

gangbusters

7:25am

But we'd likely be going after kids who'd fetch far less than Jax.

SinkingQuffa

7:27am

the timing for that isn't favorable though. JR can hold out until 29 May to

cwilke1

7:32am

That could be a problem. Thanx.

SinkingQuffa

7:34am

Paying Jax a million feels to me like the Utes overpaying Rising.

runnincoug

7:32am

Does it, though? Is this more pulling from a team bank, or more boosters stepping up to get specific players?

SinkingQuffa

And you can't just give out a lot of money to an unknown at BYU because of the

Don’t think it would be a great message to the other players who took far less.

wjman11

And it will only get worse as we go through all of this against next year

LV Mike

7:34am

We shouldn't be paying that kind of money for Jax. I would barely consider it

Don Carlton

7:35am

You don't overpay by 100s of thousands just to get some theoretical PR win

Indy Coug

7:37am

If it gets you a competitive roster — you might want to consider it.

SinkingQuffa

7:45am

That's a lot of money to bet on a pretty flimsy theory

SinkingQuffa

What's your math? BYU bball had more than $20M in ticket sales last year. You don't think Jax coming back would move

If he were an All-American type of player maybe, but he's not.

RockyBalboa

He is a likely NBA pick and I think he is worth it

Likely? He shows up in some mock drafts and others not so much

It appears that Blueto is correct, at least as far as 2023 is concerned.

Finneas

What star shooters don't on occasion? He also won us a lot of games, & was our brightest star in more than a few losses.

SinkingQuffa

7:08am

No I agree with you. I just wish he would work on taking higher quality shots

Finneas

7:40am

That offense was also very fortunate it had a 6'7 kid w 7'1 wings — who had handles enough to be backup PG.

SinkingQuffa

6:56am

Imo this is a sign of desperation by Pope/UK if they'd she'll out 7 figures for Jax. Love the kid, but you'd think

CLCougar

7:03am

Jax is a valuable player, even to UK. Pope isn't so much "desperate" for Jax's talent, though

SinkingQuffa

Off the top of my head, some BYU guards from the past decade better than Jax:

nova_coug_fan

Why are you responding with obsessed and comparing him to other former players

SouthernBlueBlood

7:24am

Overall, I think he's arguably better than every one of those guys.

SinkingQuffa

7:29am

Definitely has a higher ceiling than all of those guys

A Drew Aitch

You are kidding right? One example- here are Kyle Collinsworth's senior stats:

nova_coug_fan
