For Saunders it comes down to the role he wants to play. At BYU he will have a

agree 100% - maybe we should get you on the line with RS to explain that to him!

I’d rather have Richie. Special motor. CP3 will find us a PG

CP3 is recruiting PGs for us?

Richie, tell Popey to suck eggs. He will drop you like bad habit for next season when he can get someone more talented
CLCougar

Exactly. Pope always tries to recruit over his current roster. Just ask Connor

Oh how I wish someone Richie respects and trusts would tell him this. The problem is, it's possible

This is 100% true

"HIS current roster"? Sorry, but he walked into those 2 kids. That sorta shaving happens all the time w coaching changes

True but trading Harding for Seneca was a bad trade. To bad Harding wasn't

We needed a PF. Sux, but we had to take a chance w that.

Seneca was a bust. Everything about him was overrated, especially his shooting

Pope knows the value of guy like Saunders
Nodak Cougar

And he will walk away when he gets a better player-Saunders should realize that

Pope always recruits over his current roster and runs off players if he thinks

Pope may recruit over him the very next day.

Pope is good at compartmentalizing. He will sing your praises w/hyperbole & then

Saunders is great for a team like BYU, but he will not be what he

Pope actually under played Saunders last year in my opinion.
HeyU
4/19/24 2:31pm
Agree, total head scratcher that Knell got more minutes than Saunders last year.

Gonna need NIL contracts out of high school really soon

I love RS but would Kentucky pay that much for him?

4/19/24 1:33pm
Doesn't BYU alumni have a huge professional network, especially for athletes?
BackPacker

Saunders' dilemma reminds me of Caleb Lohner's decision
pspcres
4/19/24 3:32pm
I suspect the legacy and alumni network taking care of someone are less value
cwilke1
4/19/24 4:51pm
on a counterpoint, the top elite recruits aren't flocking to Pope at UK right

Thought foreign students couldn’t get nil?

they can - it's just more complicated
VinnyBYU
4/19/24 2:50pm
I don't think so. They would have to have a Work Visa. It was discussed pretty extensively on Big 12 radio yesterday.
Swag Kazekage

this professor makes some distinction about passive vs. active NIL. not sure
cwilke1
4/19/24 5:35pm
I'm not believing Saunders is seriously considering Kentucky
aaronmania
4/19/24 2:40pm
I can tell you with 100% certainty he is
VinnyBYU
4/19/24 2:50pm
then he should go. make up your mind and do whatever you want
airbug
4/19/24 3:27pm
UK's NIL is HUGE! I fault Saunders in no way if he is "considering" UK.
BYUHgrad
4/19/24 2:53pm
I'd like 300k a year too.
rockyrd
4/19/24 3:00pm
So Khalifa is now on a work visa?
Les IsMore
4/19/24 3:02pm
Yeah, Khalifa is ineligible to receive NIL so I doubt the OP is accurate.

You're not a stalker, Next time listen to his conversation.

Nothing would mess up Saunders pro path more than going to UK and not playing.
txcougar
4/19/24 4:58pm
It's possible Popey just wants him to serve as the token "fanatical effort" guy, and that he's only used as

All of the money for coach means nothing if we continue to lose nil wars
chirocoug

I disagree. I think Saunders could play meaningful minutes anywhere he goes.

I love Saunders and want both back!

Yes but not as a starter at UK. Pope never started Richie even though he was

I don’t see Saunders as a starter next year. Jax comes back or I’m hoping we get
