4.5 mil is crazzzzzzy. What's that compared to an NBA rookie contract? Would it be similar to like a late 1st round or early 2nd round pick?
If im a big name school I'm passing on spending 4.5 on one stud player and I'm getting 3 or 4 good players. I could see a school that's not established already paying that much because it might boost their brand getting a big time player to come.

It was the slotted salary for the 12th pick last year.
He’s probably gonna bring in 3x that for BYU.
Is this dude a generational talent? I mean, if you can get a Carmello, an AD, or a Zion and you have the cabbage, do it.
Damn the 12th pick? That's wild that a Freshman in college is going to be making lottery pick money.
Yeah. But he’d have probably been a lotto pick if he didn’t have to go to school.
I think so. Higher ceiling than both Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer (Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Boozer has the best collegiate career of the 3). The player comp that gets used the most for Dybansta is Paul George.
For a school that doesn't have a rich history of NBA talent, BYU would have to be more than pleased if they got someone in the same ballpark as Paul George.
Seems very odd for BYU to land a guy of that caliber, but big money will get you very far with these kids.
I guess I'd sacrifice being with the ladies for 1 year for that kinda coin too.
It's not as enforced as actively as some may believe. The Brandon Davies situation came to light because he got a girl pregnant. Kind of hard to hide that. It can also work as a bonus to appease parents, letting them know their son is less likely to be tripped up by alcohol and girls.
But yeah, not as hard to coax someone when $4+ million is on the table.
Well, BYU was the clear leader 6 weeks ago. Some thought he was close to committing when I originally posted this thread. BYU didn't seal the deal, and I believe Alabama will be getting a commitment from him on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I expect Alabama crystal balls to start rolling in the next few days.

Never mind. Bama fans told me to not read too much into Preston Murphy's cryptic tweets. Bama fans are confident, but their NIL evidently pales in comparison to what BYU can offer.
Either way, it should either be BYU or Alabama next week.

Penny Hardaway didn't think this guy fit.
That attitude gives me hope for their team.
*he's not chasing Calipari anymore, building his own.

Not that I've heard. I know he wants a certain amount of money but that is normal anymore and certainly not a red flag.
Been talking to some people that are usually in the know. I've heard nobody knows right know, not even the coaches. It's common courtesy to let the coaches know ahead of time, but it appears they don't want any info leaked to the public. Most seem to think it will either be BYU or Alabama. He's announcing tomorrow morning on ESPN's First Take.
I've heard the Utah Prep team is imploding. A little bit of a circus over there. JJ Mandaquit (Washington commit) might be transferring to another school. Some people are tired of the big personalities, and I think that starts with the Dybansta family.
You know you would too for 4.5 million, especially since it wouldn't alter your sex life.
I’m surprised the Bama talk got as much traction as it did. We’re talking a good 2M+ in difference in their NIL offers.
Okay, but real talk. Hilarious, absolutely hilarious that the floodgates of BYU NIL money started pouring in immediately after Mark Pope left. They knew he wanted greener pastures. Dude previously interviewed at Arizona and Washington. Pope even complained about a lack of NIL funding. They weren't willing to invest in a guy that didn't want to be there long-term.
I think they were trying to squeeze more money out of BYU. Bama has been able to get players at discounts, though. I had heard UNC offered roughly twice as much for Omoruyi.

Imagine getting a $4.5M offer and still trying to squeeze more out of them.....lol.
I could have sex with your wife and still have 4.5 million left over
Already reported you to BYU's Honor Code Office.
Similar to the Darryn Peterson recruitment. It was Kansas all along... there was noise about other teams mixing it up close to the announcement date. But, the status quo was never changed. Kansas was the leader all along... and BYU has been the leader the whole way with this one, as well.
Apparently the price went up to $7 mil. Holy s**t! If BYU wants someone badly enough, they aren't going to lose that recruiting battle.
That’s obviously a lot for one year. Michigan gave a QB 12 mil but it’s spread out over 3 years I believe
bahahaha Dybansta signed in the early period! So this tracks with my original post on October 30th - he was close to signing. He was going to Bama and Carolina games, having already signed a letter of intent to BYU! Seems like such a Dybansta thing to do!
