Highest paid basketball players.

This is why the 22 million figure doesn't make sense. If jq was one of the highest at 2...20 million amongst the other 11 would put them all in the highest paid

I say it every time these lists come up that they’re worthless, but since this has once again turned into using this to “prove” that we couldn’t have possibly spent $22 million, it’s worth repeating. This is just someone’s (in this case unsourced at that) estimate of what these guys would be worth in endorsements, which isn’t always related to how much a booster is willing to pay them to play for their favorite team.

For a quick and obvious example, it was reported by legitimate sources that Dybansta got $7 million to sign with BYU, which is approaching double what this list says. If he got that much more, I’d be willing to bet that a lot of other guys around the country including some of ours actually received a considerable amount more than is claimed by “Greatest Highlights”.

That graphic doesn’t mean anything, I’d love to know where they got the numbers. Dybantsa was rumored to get over 6 million from multiple people before the year started. I can also see Boozer getting way more than 2M. Toppin signed for 4M I believe. TT signed him to a huge offer to keep him there quick after last season.

So to all those still shooting down the 22 million number it was widely reported and even our own coach was bragging about it.

A quick Google search of JT Toppin will bring up this deal as well. It was originally reported by Natt Norelander before the season as well. These numbers are way off.

"I can also see Boozer getting way more than $2M"....meaning you have zero proof, just conjecture to fit your narrative. So you "can see" Boozer getting $2M, but you must also be willing to see everyone that played minutes on our team getting $2M each. $2M X 11 players is $22M my man. We have 11 players making Boozer money....just stop ot LMAO

Plus think about this if Yaxel is being even halfway truthful about our offer, let’s say we started at 4M which is reasonable for a guy of his stature in the portal and said we will go to 6M, why would he sign for only 2M at Michigan? I keep hearing about all their money. That’s a huge pay cut for him. No matter how much he liked the coach better that doesn’t make sense.

Based on the market value of players of his caliber yes I can easily see it. Obviously I don’t have his contract. You can take up issue with the 22M dollars from your coach. He and the university peddled it around before the season went to ****. Not my problem and not my number that I made up.
