"A lot stood out on my visit," Dybantsa said. "Obviously, coach Kevin Young there. My ultimate goal is to get to the NBA. He coached my favorite player of all time, Kevin Durant, and he had high praise about him.

1. That's a lot of money. Probably too much to turn down.

2. The economics of College Sports is absolutely atrocious right now.

3. Still feels like a mistake with BYU's (likely) sub par coaches & teammates. AJ will still go #1 in 2026, but I anticipate 8 months of misery for him in the meanwhile.


I almost wish he'd just go to France, Australia and just forgo the bad college team for lots of money route.
