2025 No. 1 overall prospect AJ Dybantsa commits to BYU | Insiders React

[@jeffyjay8343]

Welcome A.J. to BYU. The ROC is hyped.

[@louisdeaux8620]

It starts e/NIL but the real value was in BYU's new coaching staff.

[@elokindesign]

It was all NIL. He was offered 3 million more than any other school. Dude is going to be making over 7 million in NIL for going to BYU

[@joelpead2687]

@@elokindesign LoL Kansas State was the highest bidder! It's absolutely the coaching staff! Less than a year ago BYU wouldn't be even in the picture for AJ. With Pope at the helm!

[@elokindesign]

@joelpead2687 that's not true. If you read the article posted 4 hours ago on "SI" it says with BYU offering 7 MIL in NIL, Kansas State couldn't afford AJ Dybansta.

[@floridaoceancurrents]

Let's go, AJ, and let's go, Cougs! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@DK412724]

If it was all about NIL money, there are at least 30 schools that have deeper pockets than BYU. BYU has a head coach with NBA connections that are tops in the NCAA. He coached KD, Devin Booker. Chris Paul. That was the clincher

[@Raneymon]

There are very few schools who have an alumni with billionaires that own 2 pro sports teams and is also dedicated to making not only BYU but the state of Utah one of the top sports destinations in the country.

[@DK412724]

​@@Raneymon AJ's father stated on air that all 4 schools offered the same amount of NIL. Money was not the deciding factor

[@elokindesign]

@@DK412724 except the other school couldn't "guarantee" that amount. BYU could. It's all NIL

We are so back go cougs

FWIW, the NIT was the way to pick the best college basketball team before the NCAA and their tourney. PBYU won the NIT. In 1951, but still...

[@jonmays9779]

AJ's going to do awesome. But with just one and done recruits I don't see BYU doing better. But hey you'll be able to say your cougar is in the NBA.

[@mdawgwhite]

Why wouldn't you go to a smaller school like this?

[@DK412724]

BYU is the 2nd largest private university in the USA. The Marriott Center has a capacity of 18,000+. Definitely not a small school.

[@matthewhunter6421]

Or you can listen to him and he'll tell you why. Other schools have more money. What a stupid comment

[@Domgrove_5]

@matthewhunter6421 Ofc he's not going to say he went there for money. He's suppose to say those other things are main reason. Don't be delusional 🙄

LDS $ coming up big.

[@bighornbasin]

The LDS church doesn't put any money into BYU athletics. However, successful members of the church are known to be boosters. Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith comes to mind right off.

[@LOMU925]

Every university has major boosters these days. Every university. The coaching staff is what swung AJ’s decision.

That Mormon cash money!

Money “was definitely a requisite” to be involved in recruiting. Shouts to the religious school for going the bag boy route. Churches never run out of money 💰🏀⛪️

[@dmtm1111]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not put a penny into the BYU athletic program. The athletic program there is totally self-sufficient and pays for itself.
