Of course it’s important. Schools don’t just offer 4 mil to basketball recruits. The numbers that are out there are out there because that’s the number that’s been floated by his camp ( either the nil firm or the parents)

[@dimitrisnikov151]

Let’s go, BYU !! Go Cougs!!

[@roywall8169]

There is nothing to be offended by. BYU is a different kind of place, and we embrace that. Only high character athletes are sought after by the different staffs in Provo, so I have no doubt he will fit in. Go Cougars!

[@kaynewren2381]

GO! BYU!!!🎉

[@jense1ca]

LETS GO COUGS!!!

[@robertcarney4154]

Great stuff Aaron go Cougs!

AJ is going to kill it in college! Salute

[@JohnCramer-yz2rn]

CHAPEL HILL WOULD BE THE PERFECT FIT FOR HIM WE HAVE THE BRAND

[@twotwentyswift]

BYU could be lethal with Egor Demin passing the ball to Dybantsa. They're getting SCARY good. As talented as AJ is, Kevin Young with his NBA experience and contacts could turn him into the next Jordan!

[@Bofadeez467]

BYU is the move for AJ. The Cougs have A LOT of momentum going into the season.

BYU about to be a top 10 team year after year

The catch with a high NIL is that if a student athlete does not perform to fan expectations, the fans' wrath will come down to the student-athlete, no matter where they go.

[@randyrowland6744]

About time this whole NIL for the best players is being put into it's proper perspective, and that is NIL money is only the icing on their college career cakes. Not on their NBA career cake. It's high time cooler heads prevail. These kids need to keep their eyes in the prize: NBA max contract. These top players will make more money off the brand they build than their NIL money. Teenagers? What can you say?

[@terrencelspain6681]

Aj and his dad both said NIL is not the factor . The kid going to make way more money in the nba so nil in 1 year in college is the driving factor. UNC4L!

[@7brucewayne7]

It will be glorious when everyone finds out his connections to unc….

[@hankbranham578]

NIL will be the death of fun fan base supported college sports. Contracts are already beyond ridiculous in pro sports. The more they get paid the more of a drama Queen pansy ass they become.

Yep. It's kind of hard to even remember where Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons attended. And they were pretty recent. The school's gotta consistently churn out stars for people to remember where they went.

[@DestinationBeachTeam]

UConn told him. If you just want the NIL bag - then we are not for you! Go Huskies!

Hubert Davis told him the same thing...Unc fans mad...but I get his point...there needs to be a salary cap on this.

Lol. UConn doesn’t produce forwards to the league so he would never go there even if they offered 10,000,000

[@hgspiderman56]

@@BILLSELFISGOAT and what are the forwards BYU produced or UNC under Hubert (who I like ton, FWIW)? It's well known UConn has a great development program. But the original poster is correct. There is a bidding war for AJ Dybansta, at least on some level, and Hurley never participates in bidding wars.

[@darrencox9253]

I'm kinda confused if BYU have so much to offer. Why haven't they got a lot of other 5 stars that come there?? Just a question. Not really a North Carolina fan, but something tell me that is where he going go. Not BYU. In time we will see

[@jaydenpaxton457]

That’s a good question, it’s more of a flip this year. With BYU’s new head coach and most of the new coaching staff being pulled from the NBA and affiliated leagues there is already an easy connection to individuals in the NBA. Coaches also know how to prep them for the NBA. Also just this year Jazz owner Ryan Smith and also Danny Ange have contributed significantly to boost NIL money. Those are the things that have changed this year which is why BYU recruitment has seen such a drastic change. Hope that helps answer your question.
