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.

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

nova_coug_fan

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

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

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

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

He would know. They overpay for Dickenson.

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…

Also Bill Self himself is overpaid.

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

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

This is a classic example of sour grapes.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
