Are we really in on him or is he just using our logo for clout like everyone else?!

He's a 5 star player, at a position of need, who we flew across the country to see. We want him

@temery, I guess the pinned post at the top isn't getting enough attention. Sigh.

“I’m looking for a school that will develop me the most and help me get to the next level,” he told Shaw. “I’ll want to have a great relationship with the coaches, trust there. And I’ll want to be looking for an NBA type system, spreading the floor, playing four or five out. I’m open to any school around the country really, location won’t matter.”

Pinned posts are where threads go to die.

Fwiw. UConn never seemed to show serious interest.

Chris Cenac — the 6-foot-10, 230-pound big man out of Link Academy — announced his Top 7 schools on Wednesday.

Cenac is considering Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas, Houston, LSU and Baylor.

He cut Alabama, Louisville, Michigan State, Texas and UConn from his previous list of 12.

If there’s one coach I truly respect other than Hurley it’s Sampson. He is a culture and team builder.

Were we ever REALLY involved in this kid or did he just like the look of a Husky on his marketing image of 30 teams?

On a slightly separate topic, AJ resetting the market:

And the team that wins the title his one season very likely has an entire roster that costs less than him (of course that team is going to be a UConn roster full of NBA draft picks, just not 1-1).

He better be a LeBron James for that money.

And stay for more than 1 year because the odds of his team winning the title in his one year are pretty low.

 

[awy]

i find it difficult to justify that price tag unless you are really literally having too much money and nowhere to spend it. BYU is actually the place that should spend the most money given their other natural or artificial disadvantages, and their level of ambition. all other programs are better off just spending 3 million each on 3 5 stars. the benefit for BYU isn't even winning but putting the program on the map/prestige cred. with the way AJ doesn't play defense most of the time idk if he's even a winning player in college.

If someone pays him $7-9 million that's the biggest waste of money ever. At least Dennis Kozlowski's $15,000 umbrella stand kept his umbrellas standing upright.

Intrigued at the strategy of what this one year run at BYU will yield. The likelihood is that AJ will come and go before he figures it out enough to really make a mark, BYU has a decent season but nothing earth shattering.

Perhaps it’s to get BYU on the broader radar of future recruits. This is precedent setting stuff, so really curious as to the why. If it’s to win for one year, I’d get ready for disappointment. If it’s a longer term strategy, let’s see what happens.

Do you have some personal connection to Tyco? Because that's an interesting go-to when you need an example of a waste of money

I think Goodman is doing what Goodman does, not buying it.

Read Jim McMahon autobiography if you want to know what attending BYU is like for an athlete. I highly encourage all recruits to read it. Of course, I guess any situation can be bearable for the 8 months a one-and-done would be there. Not like they're staying four years anymore.

Remember the basketball player who was dismissed from the team for admitting he was having sex with his girlfriend?

BYU: Davies' honor code dismissal not criminal

BYU officials confirmed Wednesday that starting forward Brandon Davies wasn't involved in anything criminal that resulted in his dismissal from the team.

No kid is worth -$7M to $9M. If someone disagrees, wherever he winds up, I’ll take the field to win it all vs where he’s heading.

How did it even escalate that high? For a kid to double his originally ask there had to be a bidding war. There’s no point in bidding over market for the hell of it. Is KSt being equally the fool?

I can’t see any established and winning program shelling out this kind of dough for a OAD, so it would be amongst the desperate (a very Jerry Jones thing to do).

Jerry Jones has been notoriously cheap , the last time he spent big money on a free agent was in 2012. The guy is bargain basement shopper, that’s an awful analogy.
