Yeah. We finished 2nd for his other son who was a one and done at Michigan State. I think he and Murphy have known each other for a very long time. Like since childhood.

Just saw his angry tweet at Tipton. Not so much childhood friends, but sounds almost like a decades long older/younger sibling type relationship. If your staff is that close to a recruit's family you don't have to recruit them in the traditional way because they're already comfortable with you.

This is a great get. Amazing athlete with a great pedigree. Seems he is rated low for the talent he has. Holt is top 20 and this guy is top 25? Holt must be off the charts then.
Kudos to Oats and Preston Murphy.
Didn’t Murphy almost get us the No 1 player last year? Dybantsa.

He put in the work but that young man was going to the highest bidder.

I think if we were in the realm of BYU’s offer he’d have come here. But I think the deal was already sealed by the time he moved to Utah in highschool. They weren’t going to get outbid.

I can’t imagine the amount of money it would take for me to go play for a cult.

I wonder how many soakings he's been to this year.

BYU fans on Reddit all claim that the school looks the other way for non-Mormon athletes as long as they're discreet. Not sure why that matters since 90% of the dating pool for a 19 year old in Provo is Mormon and engaged, if not already married.

It’s 45 minutes to SLC and they have a lot of non Mormon counterculture methy types. I don’t know if he prefers the brainwashed or septum piercings but that’s pretty much the choice.

Depending on who we bring back on this years roster…if we bring back Biz, Amari, and Aiden…..next years team has a chance to be special.

I mean we just added a McDonalds AA and didn’t have to go deep into our funds to get him

Allen is probably gone but maybe he can be persuaded like Philon.

Holloway - ??? - Richardson - Jemison - Sherrell is a great 5 and I don't even know if Hannah or Bethea will be around or not at the 2.

Samuels and Bouie are more college ready than Richardson.

Yeah If we add Holt this will be the best recruiting class we have ever had.

Miller, Clowney, Bradley, Griffin is hard to top.

He instantly becomes the most athletic guy on the roster and probably in the SEC. Check out his hops.

Unless Coen Carr comes back at Michigan State he might be the best dunker in CBB next year.

$7.5 million? Utah Jazz owner buys players for BYU. He way outbid everyone else for Dybanta.

Yeah I mean I know the figure that it’s said he received. It may be easy for me to say not bring in his shoes, but if I was a guaranteed top 5 NBA pick in 1 year and I could make 7 million at BYU or I could make 2 million at Alabama(or any college where I could live a normal college life and have fun and try to win a championship if I wasn’t such a Bama fan) then I’m taking the 2 mil

The extra money isn’t worth the ick I would feel especially if I know I’m about to be a multi multi millionaire soon anyway.

As recruits, this one would be clearly better.

#4 Holt, #27 Richardson, #28 Samuels, #54 Bouie

Vs

#14 Miller, #26 Bradley, #44 Griffen, #78 Clowney

Bouie is still expected to rise a good bit.

I’m just talking about what they actually accomplished. Two 1 and done first round picks, an elite 4 year player, and a very good 4 year player.
