say, “I really liked it there. Hopefully, they can put together a compensation package that will be equal to what others will be offering so that I can take an official visit there.” At least, that’s how I read that.

His comments about his visit made it sound like he did it as a favor

I didn't get that at all. This is what McCombs said

Here are actual quotes from AJ

“Hopefully they can get me on an official visit” sounds like he’s doing a favor?

I read it as the coaches were saying they hope they can get him on an official.

Could be, I don’t see a strong interest from him in any of his quotes

Charles Darwin

I wouldn’t think he has a strong interest anywhere yet because he hasn’t…

You don’t think he has talked NIL? What makes you say that?

Charles Darwin

Jul 7, 10:21pm

It’s a negotiation…

What is he supposed to say?

I think NIL is irrelevant with guys like these. He's gonna make so much money

Win big in tourney + Demin and Catchings drafted in 1st round may land us AJ

We're extremely unlikely to get him, just like everyone else.

Definitely a shift to even get a guy like this on campus

Charles Darwin

Jul 7, 9:09pm

But you had that line in quotes meaning it was him saying it

icecougar

Jul 7, 10:15pm

In the quote he is telling the reporter what the coaches said

Charles Darwin

Jul 7, 10:19pm

I definitely don't read it that way

Why would he hope for something he has complete control over?

Charles Darwin

Jul 8, 8:46am

Because it shows humility.

Kdubb

You think he was still waiting for an offer to take an official at that point?

Charles Darwin

Jul 8, 8:54am

He's good enough that anyone he visits, he's "doing them a favor," really.

I imagine BYU recruiting his teammate Mandaquit probably helps BYU's chances of

Not gonna get too emotionally invested in this one. He doesn't need KYU

We’re KYU. Of course we can land him

We can get him. Kevin Young, his staff and BYU have a lot to offer.
