In Reply to: Perhaps He's An Outlier, But What About A.J. Dybantsa at BYU?* posted by bruinbob95 on January 14, 2025 at 17:53:01
It’s also not like he didn’t have others tossing buckets of Benjamins his way. AJD is a unique circumstance. The odd part is everyone uses a different figure wrt to much he is actually getting. I’ve said this numerous times on the football board (and maybe here too) but I highly doubt the headline number is accurate for any of these people. I’d bet that total sum is predicated on hitting many thresholds (ie win a Natty or make FF, win Wooden award, etc).
Regardless BYU recruited the hell out of AJD. They were all over him like a Wimp Sanderson sports coat.
I know UConn and Duke were both all over Cooper Flagg and I don’t think $$ was the ultimate factor.
