Supremely talented and I think he’ll be real good pro. Not a UConn kinda player.

Unlikely, but if he goes any lower than #1 in the 2026 draft for whatever reason due to his college decision (lack of exposure, poor coaching, poor performance, etc.) that’s possibly a $3M+ mistake. Better get more than that in NIL to cover it.

Could be a lot more than that.

First of all, he isn’t a poor kid frommBrockton
His father is a University police officer, so that description is a
Inaccurate
He is going to be in college about seven months
He’s going to be the number one draft choice, no matter what happens in college
If he didn’t have to go to college for a year, he would be the number one draft choice over cooper flagg
What he does in college willhave nothing to do with his NBA career other than to build the brand for outside income
In short he is a potential generational talent
How about taking off the uconn eyeglasses and realize his father is making a very smart business decision,and a j is very fortunate to have him
Handling the business of basketball
I find it outlandish that you would
In effect be saying he’s getting getting bad advice from his father And that reflects poorly on him!!

His father is taking him to the highest bidder. Time will tell if that was the right decision. I'm not saying it's the wrong decision, but it's not 100% that he will be the first overall draft pick. Probably close to 100% but things do change with these things sometimes.

“I do know that the dad from the beginning has been pushing numbers like that,” said a source at an ACC school that is no longer in the mix. “He was pushing for $3 million while we were in the mix. The dad basically has said from the get-go that he’s going to the highest bidder.”

Dead horse but likely going to BYU with an NIL valuation close to an NBA lottery pick lol

Genuinely curious how the BYU coaching staff addresses the BYU code of conduct in recruiting him. Do they have an understanding with the administrators that it will be overlooked for recruits? Gotta imagine that would be a tough pill to swallow for your average high school athletic superstar.

What about going to the highest bidder would be a bad decision?

Lol. I don't think I need to even answer that.

Are you related to his father or something?
