I didn't watch the game today, how did Lopez play for the Breakers? Seems like he filled the stat sheet.

You would have to pay 10's of millions to play at BYU when I know I'm bout to have a 100 million (minimum) coming to me in the NBA a year later. I get securing a bag because you never know, but the odds of the "never know" situation happening are pretty low and not enough to make me go to BYU.

same. but dybantsa isn't you or me. also, he'd only be there for what, 7 or 8 months and playing basketball? it's becoming a great place to play basketball. it's not as if he's going to school every day for 4 years like the rest of us.

I mean he is already playing high school ball in Hurricane Utah. BYU is a big upgrade from that.

He's going to get $3-4M in NIL money (one of the biggest deals ever) to go play for BYU. How is $100M guaranteed a year later? He'll get a 4 yr/$55M rookie deal.

And we've seen a number of top recruits go an alternate route and still go #1 overall.

Cade - OK State
Edwards - UGA
Simmons - LSU
Fultz - Washington

Yeah, Id rather be a college student at all those schools than BYU for reasons I dont feel like I have to explain.

But props to him if he's just focused on basketball 100% and he feels that's the best situation.

And the 100M comes from endorsements along with the 55 rookie scale deal. Obviously he's not getting it all at once, but I dont feel like he needs to prioritize the highest NIL bag to make his college decision.

I'd assume the deciding factor for the majority of top recruits is the NIL bag at this point

As it should be, but AJ is kind of past that and is more of a sure thing than most top 10 recruits.

The same could've been said about Simmons, Cade, Fultz, and Edwards.
All of them could've went to an elite blue blood program, received more exposure, played with better teammates, and had a chance to compete for a national title.

Instead they all chose programs where they'd be the big man on campus from day one, would have the ball in their hands at all times, and would be able to coast through the college basketball season.

AJ living in Utah already, potentially going to BYU, and having a relationship with Danny and Ryan could definitely pay dividends for us in the future.
