Maybe he'll be a top pick if he lasts that long. He'll get double/tripled teamed regularly at a place without help. And it will be physical too.
My biggest question is what drove the price up to 7mm? If the four competitors were pitching 6mm each to push market, boy the NIL budgets are popping fast.

it's been so long since UNC had an elite, blue chip draft ready prospect that they had to reference a Duke player in their pitch to him, damnInteresting article from Matt Norlander at CBS Sports. To piggyback on my post above about his father going to games after Dybantsa had already signed with BYU, Alabama and UNC are not too happy about that.

I also thought that was strange.

Super interesting indeed. It’s basically cold hard donor cash collectives vs marketing “potential”. I wonder how it’s paid out - lump sum, upon signing? Upon enrolling? The transaction dynamic would be interesting to know.If you want to know a little more about how NIL works and how BYU got Dybantsa over Alabama and UNC, you can read Matt Norlander's deeper dive into this. He's saying BYU gave Dybantsa $5 million. The $7 million number might include other NIL deals outside their NIL collective. UNC and Alabama couldn't come up with the $5 million from their NIL collectives and tried to structure the money the Dybantsas wanted in other ways.

He said he met with the Dybantsas but did not offer them any money and he didn't contribute any money to BYU's NIL Collective to get Dybantsa. And BYU didn't ask him for any money. Does anyone believe this BS? Then why did he meet with the Dybanstas? To tell them how pretty the BYU campus is?
Btw, rumor is BYU will be opening their season next year against Villanova.
O.K. enough about Dybansta. But I do find it very interesting how this whole NIL thing is working for recruiting. Carry on with more UConn specific topics.

Not sure. I guess that's possible. He could also transfer every year and assuming he is as good as he's expected to be, I'm sure there would be schools every year who would pony up. He could be a free agent every year and go to the highest bidder each time.
Didn’t Rutgers just lose to Princeton??
He's better
Better pure scorer, not sure about all the other stuff. Flagg is going to be an interesting eval in the upcoming draft with guys like Harper behind him. Where Harper is easily a better pure on ball scorer, Flagg does all the other stuff so well that contribute to winning.
Yea he is and nba thinks so
This is one of those things that as a parent I'm like "Oh man, what a legend." And if I was a kid I'd be like yo wtf.
They let him warm up as if everything was normal, and then informed him he wouldn’t be playing after warm ups. Ouch.
“People just gonna talk, but I (didn’t) even know how much I’m getting. They just tell my dad all of that,” Dybantsa said. “I’m trying to make it to the NBA, so wherever they can get me the fastest there with the best development, there’s a whole lot of pillars that come with it. Money’s going to come if I do the work, so I’m not worried about the money in a year.”
I believe his father is a police officer. Those types tend to be tough disciplinarians with their kids, so I don't know if the bolded part is true for sure, but it's believable.
