This is incredibly well done. Thank you for putting this together!

Of course NIL was a factor, that’s the name of the game now. But all four of AJ’s final four choices offered the same money, so your real story should be why did AJ choose the Y over the others?

Very well done video and well made, significant points. Now let’s see AJ make some points!

Nice job on the video! Will be a fascinating year for BYU and AJ.

Great content man, just found the channel, keep it up!

[grantchandler]

Thanks for the video! Very well done!

Question is. Is the community like Hurricane Utah ready for this? Will be interesting to watch!

Kansas State is rumored to offer the most as well. Most others were in the same ballpark.

What a thoughtful piece. I feel smarter now. Most other coverage of this makes me feel dumber (Dan Patrick, for one haha).

[JeffBeck]

Excellent video! You are a very talented storyteller

I hope he sticks it out. And eventually becomes a Utah Jazz player..🤘

Grab the cash while you can. Nothing is guaranteed in life. Now that doesn't mean you should base 100% of decisions on the top dollar option... when there's options you need to factor in a variety of things, but ultimately getting paid life-changing money sooner is a smart thing to do and is the decision rational people make 95% of the time

[travishancock]

Ya, but all other players went to. Big ass school. LSU, Georgia & Cal. ! I think AJ has a chance to jump right into something that’s gonna be great..! Plus I’ve heard him say multiple times that he loves being in the state of Utah. So I think it’s a win-win situation for him and his family..!

The big media personalities all have a bias against BYU. You can tell all were not only surprised, but disappointed that AJ chose BYU.

I really hope Kevin Young, AJ, and the future of the basketball program show out and flip the media disrespect towards BYU on its head.

[KillerCam]

Yeah the BYU coach has NBA coaching experience so he offers good NIL money and recruits guys and tells them that he will get them to the nba and knows how to get them to the league and be better. So this is why they land good recruits

[travishancock]

BYU has a huge alumni that has millions if not millions of dollars that they love notating to BYU..!

[antoinewhite]

He is from Utah. They are always going to have the upper hand

[copisetic]

College big money payouts will ruin the college game, I’m already checking out of watching games. This world has gone nuts.

[krucixal]

well the real reason why they chose byu over other schools was cuz byu has an honor code and they dont allow alc and weed on campus and the coach was a former nba coach and they believed they could develop aj the best

[joelharris]

Durant was coached up by Kevin Young, the rest is history
