Before he committed to BYU he was projected as a late teens to early 20's pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Since the start of the season, he has moved up to top five in most mock drafts, even with his poor play lately. Scouts can see the potential even with him struggling right now. He's played overseas as a teenager so top collegiate basketball is new for him. He is the youngest on the team. Who should his NIL money have gone to that isn't on the team? Do you really think our NIL money in basketball is budgeted so that we turned down a better player who wanted to play for us? The wallets are open for BYU basketball recruiting. I haven't heard we missed on anyone because of lack of NIL. Whatever we are paying him, we will get back ever penny when Kevin Young is sitting at that table with him at the NBA draft and he gets that awkward huge from Demin after he is drafted as a lottery pick. That is publicity you just can't buy.
