They’re desperate for pieces to put next to Dybantsa I would guess. He’s only going to be around for one year so they want to cash in.
Yeah I understand what they are trying to do but just can’t believe that he would fetch that much money. I know some of these reports are definitely just rumors. I can see half that amount. I mean wouldn’t some of the appeal be the opportunity to play at BYU for the chance to play with Dybantsa? I higly doubt 3.5 Million for Wright as even the intital rumors of close to 10 Million for Dybantsa were wrong.
That's on top of the $5 million they gave AJ Dybantsa. I wonder how much in total they're spending on their roster next season. Hope it's worth it.
I hope it isn’t.
That was a sarcastic, "Hope it's worth it." Lol
It's you
Continuity vs portal talent upgrade, that is the question. The value of the first leans on intangibles, which are hard to quantify.
So was Silas Demary and that one worked out well for the good guys.
Silas had a strong list, but it wasn't that. Let's see what happens.
Silas visited St. John's then UConn. He was going to visit BYU and then Duke had he not picked us so early and there would've been more of the very top schools involved had he not ended it so quickly.
I don't know exactly how long the list was for Silas, but he had his fair share of high quality suitors. Off the top of my head the schools on his list, but not limited to, were Kentucky (Mark Pope in home visit), St. John's, Duke, and BYU, the latter 2 schools he canceled the visits for.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Demary ended his recruitment early and picked which places made sense to him to visit. He pretty much had a similar type list of schools inquiring about him. See below when he entered the portal. He was one of the top 2 or 3 guards in the portal at the time.
