AJ Dybantsa is the NEXT one

[Whips-n-Chains]

there were rumors of his Dad not being satisfied with his NIL packages but hard to see a school like Washington offering more than anyone else, I think there were "personality" issues more than anything else. I know in UConn's case they were only going to take 1 big and it came down to Bundalo and Eric Reibe and Reibe committed first and looks like the more talented player.

I heard about the "personality" issues as well, and if true, that doesn't surprise me at all that guys like Izzo, Hurley and Oats backed off. And there had to be some kinda bag incentive to end up at Washington, a school with 1 tournament appearance in the last 12-13 years, to play for a coach with a 118-106 record.

His pops…I know you heard the stories of why Hurley and Duke backed off

I haven't. I'm listening.

 

[CrimsonTider]

He's going to school in Utah, maybe he likes the lifestyle out there

He’s currently being paid to play HS ball in Utah

 

[MikelArteta]

Byu?

 

[aceboon]

I haven't. I'm listening.

his father reportedly put NIL as be all/end all of his recruitment and with Hurley that's basically an automatic "i'm out" signal. AJ is from Mass and Hurley offered him like his freshman year but once the money talk started happening he tapped out early in his recruitment.

 

[MikelArteta]

I know it’s about the money and he’s out after a year

But is BYU a serious basketball program

They got a top 3 pick in Egor Demin this year, looks like they started taking bball serious since they moved to the big 12

so he went to a high school founded by a byu alum
and is now going to byu for college

The businessman said he gave Ace an ownership stake in the school. The men also planned a $600,000 deal to use AJ’s name, image and likeness. In exchange, AJ agreed he would start his senior year in August at Utah Prep to become the headliner of a new national powerhouse.

New Utah academy is a basketball powerhouse with ties to a boarding school shut down by the state

Utah Prep got the top basketball recruit in the country — and then fell behind on its bills. Here's what the southern Utah academy plans to do now.
