I like where he said NIL jumped up this last year. Good to know.

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

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

KY prob has more to offer Jax than Jax does for BYU. If he returns, it shouldnt

Agreed. We could bring in two very good players for $500k apiece.

Except all portaleers might expect exorbitant amounts, too.

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

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

That could be a problem. Thanx.

Paying Jax a million feels to me like the Utes overpaying Rising.
runnincoug
May 1, 7:32am
Does it, though? Is this more pulling from a team bank, or more boosters stepping up to get specific players?
SinkingQuffa
May 1, 7:36am
Plus it sets some expectations for others in the future and might make it harder

Missing the point, I guess that’s why they say one person is playing 3D chess

Playing 3D chess is meaningless when the game at hand IS checkers.

If Rising get them to the playoffs then he was not overpaid.

Sure. If.

I could see it this year with more teams added to the playoffs.

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

yep. You can overpay for a lottery pick and guys will understand. You don't ...

I think it would be great to bring Robinson back
BYU Fan
May 1, 8:47am
We shouldn't be paying that kind of money for Jax. I would barely consider it
Don Carlton
May 1, 7:35am
You don't overpay by 100s of thousands just to get some theoretical PR win
Indy Coug
May 1, 7:37am
If it gets you a competitive roster — you might want to consider it.

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

What's your math? BYU bball had more than $20M in ticket sales last year. You don't think Jax coming back would move
HarlemCoug
May 1, 7:53am
Actually, I think that's a very poor argument. BYU will sell out regardless.

BYU will sell out regardless? What? Why? More than ten thousand unsold seats last year during one of the most

I dunno, but in last year in the WCC, BYU was the 17th top uni for attendance

Are you saying there were 10,000 unsold seats for all 18 or so home games?

If he were an All-American type of player maybe, but he's not.
RockyBalboa
May 1, 7:40am
He is a likely NBA pick and I think he is worth it
kC Cougar
May 1, 7:48am
Likely? He shows up in some mock drafts and others not so much
RockyBalboa
May 1, 7:50am
Yes, likely. I think you’re under selling him. Most recent mock drafts that I’ve
kC Cougar

I hope he does get drafted. That'd be great for him.

Wake me when he plays as hard as Saunders

Watch this week's Y's guys podcast with Knell and listen to the NIL segment
BackPacker

It would be different if Jaxson was far and above better than everyone
PumaFanatico
May 1, 9:48am
There's always that potential but he hasn't shown as much in driving to the rim
BackPacker
May 1, 12:51pm
For that kind of money we can do better. Love Jax but he has some serious flaws
Lifer

We should do it. He’s the most talented guy on our roster from last year.
CougFan4EverEver
May 1, 8:11am
How much would you pay him if he could play defense?

It's the price of admission into the Big Boys Club.

It risk undermining team chemistry. No thank you

Getting back our most talented player (who is well-liked)? Not so sure about that.

Still no thanks. Likeable or not it does create issues.

It's the name of the game we're involved in right now, bro. A steep value disparity is how this invariable shakes out.

I think KY has more to offer than other teams/coaches in terms of prepping someone for the NBA.

I hated the old system more (the Alabamas/Dukes got away with paying players).
