I hope we aren't overpaying for Dybantsa, because Bill Self thinks so

If your not paying for him, why do you care?

Magneto

People keep saying this, and the answer is obvious- there isn't unlimited NIL

If you pay attention to what has been leaked, it is very clear that our big donors are willing to give extra to sign

This is probably the most persuasive counterargument to me

Every team would want AJ if they had the resources. Next year we have those

Meanwhile we're going to pull in a 2nd consecutive top 10-15 recruiting class...

That is absolutely not how it works. The supply may as well be unlimited

It's as high as the donors like Ryan Smith are willing to go

There is also a long game here. This helps with future recruiting and there are many of these NIL contracts that the

There are more than enough funds for AJ and others. Fear not.

Thrill

8:45am

If our big donors want to pay - then who am I to stop them?

Saxa

8:53am

I don't think it works that way. Donors didn't like Pope enough to pay more.

Bill Self has less money to spend.

Bill is jealous everyone can buy players now. And he's an Adidas school. Loser.

Can't imagine anything worse. Unless it were Under Armour.

Yes.. UA is wayyyy worse. Just look who they sponsor (coughs Utah coughs)

Bill Self lost at home to a BYU team w half the talent of this year's team a bit

I don't agree with your assumptions. You state that a team signing Dybantsa is getting a one man show and will not be a

That's easy for him to say at Kansas.

The funny thing about this take is no one takes into consideration that the team

He would know. They overpay for Dickenson.

Mostlyaccurate

6:14am

Was the first thing I thought. STILL the most over-hyped player in D1 ball. Gonna go three years running?

Do we know his NIL #? (Dickinsons)

What does having a player like AJ instantly do to BYUs brand? What does it do

Yes. Kansas already has an established brand. BYU does not. That's why Self

Based on that description, it is not overpaying.

1. He won’t be alone. 2. If we don’t pay him to play for us…

Gotta give KY the benefit of the doubt

You must be mad that Villanova didn’t make his list.

You’re going to hear excuses like this from the programs who lose out on AJ

He may not end up being the best player in college but he is

davidmj10

Also Bill Self himself is overpaid.

Why can't you build a team and have the #1 player?

Cthack1

sounds like self is unhappy that he can't compete for high end players.

This is a classic example of sour grapes.

Adwight

Blue bloods don't like the leveling of the playing field. Just ask Nick Saben

So so true

In the NIL era, everyone is overpaid.

You can trust Bill Self for Kansas, his team is in a different spot

The main goal of paying for AJ isn’t a national championship next year

MwangoleCoug9

1. Sour grapes. 2. Dybantsa would be worth more to BYU than other blue bloods.

I'm not paying anyone anything

It's worth it to shell out this kind of money when a university is making a name

How was Alabama football viewed for the past decade? They were the high bidders.

Alabama was great because of coach Saban. And all the 1rd draft picks. This

Lol Crawford? I certainly hope we're not paying for a 4th string pg.

KayakCoug

9:21am

Crawford is not 4th strong and will be a very good switch up at pg with foul

coot20

9:40am

He is our fourth best PG. Egor, Hall, Baker, Crawford, Tre 1-5. All but Crawford

Big Daddy D

9:52am

I am not sure I would really classify Baker as a PG

Projectoor

I'd take Stewart over Crawford. Crawford is small, dribbles too much.

KayakCoug

Interesting this comes out after Kansas isn't on his list anymore. 🧐

RoaroftheCougartails

I think NIL will collapse in on itself. Donors will shell out for Dybantsa.

RoboKayne

LOL, he's saying that bc he can't have him. He would say the same thing about MJ if he were going to some other school.
