To whom? Keita would be highly sought on the open market.

Retaining Saunders

citizenking

Mar 28, 9:43pm

I'd bet double that

Bob Vance

Mar 28, 9:44pm

And then double it again.

Ham

Mar 29, 4:45pm

First team all conference team mvp of a sweet 16 team

Durden

Mar 28, 9:44pm

They better get him well over 6 figures or someone else will.

byubyu

Mar 28, 9:45pm

7 figures?

RBLegend

Mar 28, 10:00pm

For sure.

byubyu

Mar 28, 10:13pm

At least 5 figures.

Plantagenet

Mar 29, 11:21am

I bet he gets 1.2 mil

ChubbyMoose

Mar 28, 9:46pm

The boosters have said “no one will out bid us”. I’m not worried.

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 9:47pm

Then he should def enter portal

Ten_Hour_Drives

Mar 28, 11:45pm

He’s going to declare for the draft, get the evaluation he needs, and come back

BYUHgrad

Mar 29, 7:04am

I'd think he & Keita get raises, yes. Keita probably a bit more than Richie.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 9:47pm

Why?

palangi

Mar 28, 9:48pm

Much rarer athlete.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 9:50pm

He is a better athlete but Saunders is a more valuable player next year.

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 9:58pm

To whom? Keita would be highly sought on the open market.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:00pm

Keita can’t shoot free throws, is limited offensively, and small for a top

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 10:02pm

He can run AND jump with the best, despite the limitations.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:10pm

Richie has Tater Tot money coming in.

BluesBrother

Mar 28, 10:04pm

This is a very unique opinion. I don’t think you’ll find another soul who thinks

RBLegend

Mar 28, 10:10pm

Agreed I usually agree with SinkingQ but this is a bizarre take. Keita is not

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 10:13pm

I do think Richie has a bit more of a shot at the NBA than Keba

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:20pm

I love Keita but Richie would likely start for any team in the country. Same can

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 10:24pm

For Alabama... I saw an easier slot for Keba than I did for Richie.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:26pm

Not seeing it. Bama had some very athletic bigs with much better shooting.

RBLegend

Mar 29, 12:26am

They weren't nearly as fast as Keita, though. I think Keita, Nelson & Youngblood

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 3:12am

Agree to disagree. I love Keita and am not gonna trash on him. He was a great

RBLegend

Mar 29, 8:38am

I didn't call him a cheat code alone (but teamed w Nelson & Youngblood). He & AJ

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 8:59am

It’s one of the most irrational takes I’ve ever seen.

Mjolnir

Mar 29, 6:58am

Not sure on the $$ part, but Keita is a more unique athlete

NYC and Japan

Mar 29, 10:02am

Richie will get more than anyone else on the team.

VinnyBYU

Mar 29, 5:33am

At BYU, probably yes (minus AJ & Demin (if...) 'course). But on the open market?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 5:55am

Oh, not even close. Just at BYU

VinnyBYU

Mar 29, 6:36am

BYU's probably lucky I'm not Keita's agent.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 6:40am

Keita probably glad you aren’t his agent. You may have him sitting out all yea

johnnybyu

Mar 29, 6:52am

Saunders would be easy. I know I could get way above market to keep him home.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 8:26am

Ludicrous take. Keita routinely makes jaw-droppingly athletic plays, which are

Roko's Basilisk

Mar 29, 9:57am

Keba does a lot more than that for us.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 10:01am

With respect, I think you might be overvaluing him based on the aesthetics of

Roko's Basilisk

Mar 29, 11:23am

I wouldn't call physically dictating the paint a mere "aesthetic" of the game.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 7:02pm

I bet between 1 and 2 million

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 9:48pm

He's probably worth more to BYU than he'd be to most schools, but

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 9:57pm

He is an ideal 2nd scorer with an elite 3 point shot and finishing ability. His

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 10:00pm

It sure felt like we needed Richie to be 4 inches taller last night.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:06pm

Sure we wish he was 4 inches taller. He was still our best player and we

johnnybyu

Mar 28, 10:07pm

What does the NBA have to do with anything? Richie is easily the best player on

RBLegend

Mar 28, 10:06pm

But he's not a marquee scorer. It's not a lack of appreciation for Richie

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 10:36pm

I just don’t get why you wouldn’t be high on our leading scorer from one of the

RBLegend

Mar 29, 12:20am

Who said I wasn't high on Richie? Please don't be dishonest w your rhetoric in

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 12:45am

You are disqualifying yourself with your bad opinions. In no universe is a role

RBLegend

Mar 29, 8:34am

In a game where size, athleticism & defense rule — sure they do. But opinions

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 8:46am

There’s not a team that made it to the sweet sixteen that doesn’t have all those

RBLegend

Mar 29, 9:02am

To one degree or another, I agree. But not all marquee players are the same.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 9:13am

Hope RS is the 2nd or even 3rd scorer next season for BYU

NYC and Japan

Mar 29, 10:54am

Here’s the thing, he doesn’t need the ball in his hands and doesn’t need to be

RE: Retaining Saunders

citizenking

Mar 28, 9:50pm

7 figures no doubt.

mulletino

Mar 28, 9:51pm

My guess is 1.5m +

gmoney7

Mar 28, 9:53pm

And he'd deserve it too

ldssdl

Mar 28, 10:38pm

Agreed, I think that's in the ball park, but I bet more from our "wealthy"

jaba166

Mar 29, 12:31am

Maybe you’re right, RS has said he was very close to leaving 11 months ago

NYC and Japan

Mar 29, 10:56am

I personally don’t like that college sports have come to this.

RC Vikings

Mar 28, 9:56pm

Why? It's entertainment. The athletes should be paid for their efforts.

creameryon9th

Mar 28, 10:04pm

Yeah personally I’d rather the athletes be broke

AllHailTheOverlord

Mar 28, 10:09pm

Without it, byu doesn’t compete for top talent.

idcougarfan

Mar 28, 10:05pm

Agreed, I hate it too

ray ray

Mar 28, 10:12pm

Players deserve to be paid but free-for-all NIL is dumb and unsustainable. I’ll

RBLegend

Mar 28, 10:23pm

It’s gone way beyond for what they intended, schools shouldn’t be setting

RC Vikings

Mar 28, 10:51pm

Who is "they"? You mean the judges? And if so, then how so.

HarlemCoug

Mar 28, 11:11pm

BYU benefits from NIL perhaps more than any school in the country. I love it. What a year we've had. Without NIL there

HarlemCoug

Mar 28, 10:30pm

I’m sure we will pony up whatever is needed

Completely disagree. We have no idea how good AJ will actually be

He's worth it. Great player.

AZ Coug

SinkingQuffa

Mar 29, 4:42pm

Give him the supermax contract.

Ham

Mar 29, 4:46pm

I would say he’s a 10 cow player for sure
