ANALYST: BYU's AJ Dybantsa DOESN'T CARE, Wants NIL Money, Other Big 12 Stars Refuse to Compete, Win

A national basketball analyst just said that your favorite big 12 basketball player

That is at your school to get paid man. What's the motivation to win?

AJ DeBoncept

He's getting checked. He's just raking in the dough

What a silly ignorant thing to say about some really good kid this

Is a scathing locked on big 12

You are locked on big 12 your daily podcast on the big 12 conference part of the locked on podcast network your team every day

Happy Thursday everybody welcome into locked on big 12. I'm Drake toll from America's number one big 12 podcast locked on big 12

Thank you for making this show your first lesson every single day today the field of 68 which I listen to and I like

Has gone too far saying that AJ DeBoncept is just there for a paycheck

We will start there and it's not just AJ DeBoncept if you're a fan of Arizona if you're a fan of Arizona

State if you're a fan of Baylor or TCU

The shot that is being taken is being taken at college basketball players big 12 basketball players that have now no motivation to play

Because they can't win the big 12 and if you can't win the big 12 then you're just tired and you want to go home

And you're trying to you're waiting for the end of the season. That's what the quotes going to be about. I'm going to play the audio for you

And I'm going to push back entirely and I look I want to give Rob Doster is the analyst to field of 68

Said this I want to give him some reprieve here because there have been cases Coleman Hawkins

I thought what a flop what an NIL flop or Kansas State last year

That was a guy that was just frustrated to watch he's getting paid two three million dollars whatever it was just to suck

And it felt like a

Not a mooch that maybe the wrong the wrong way to approach it, but it felt like he was a suck give us

Just living off of the tree of money from Kansas State. I didn't like that

I don't think that's the character of AJ DeBoncept

I don't think it's the character of of a Terrence Brown at Utah Cameron card be able those guys are still playing hard

So why does the guy behind the microphone say that they're just waiting for the end of the season waiting for the break they get when everything ends

This audio is courtesy of field of 68 it is Rob Doster speaking

So again courtesy of Rob Doster. I want to break this down. I might go to your point. It's because they don't they don't care about

And I don't want to say they don't care like the feels like horse saying this but if you're

Association with the university is has been eight months, right?

And the reason you are there is because of the paycheck

There's only so much that you're going to fight for when you don't have something to go play for

Does that make sense right like once be why you realize that they're not winning a big 12 championship

And once be but once they kind of realized that they're in the tournament regardless of what happens like

the motivation to go out there and compete

Has to be because you want to win for that program for those fans for your university because of the name on the front of your jersey

And it sounds very cliche to say that but once you take away the the the apple at the end that is you have something to play for this bigger than just

That specific game

You're seeing that with the other teams and how hard they're competing and you're seeing with BYU a bunch of guys that are going through the motion

Just try to get to march and honestly probably try to get to the break that they get once the season is over because

You know the hard part of all this and like you've been through it once you start and you start an early June with a lot of these guys

And you were just going through practice after practice after practice after practice after practice

And then you get 30 games and now you're here and everybody on these teams are just dragging and they're tired and it's uh

It's it's a lot man. It's a lot. So I

I don't want to say a sympathize. I understand why BYU is at the spot that they're at but I

It's the danger of going out and getting a bunch of people that are going to be there for nine months. It's a risk that you're going to take in this era

I'm not sure and again, I like field of 60 and I like Rob Doster usually. I'm not sure what he's watching or if he's watching

To say that they don't care and he's like, well, it's not like I don't want to say they don't care

Well, you just did you just said they don't care you just said aji debonsa doesn't care

And he says the reason you're there is a paycheck

Have you listened to aji debons of the same aji debonsa who's talked about possibly coming back

Debonsa had said before Doster spoke this into existence behind a microphone

That he might come back next season because his mother wants him to get a degree and that's a real thing

He might actually return to BYU or college basketball. I mean, not maybe not BYU and get a degree somewhere

Like the the quotes that you just heard

The reason they're there is a paycheck. There's only so much you'll fight for

They realize they're making the big 12 championships like what are we what are these games? You know, we're already in March what are these games matter for

He said you have to want to win for the program win for the fans

And you take the apple out of the end and you see that they're not competing as hard. What do you mean not competing?

We're talking about the nation's number one overall score or who dropped what 24 points

Yeah, they lost

What do you mean not competing as hard going through the motions he said

Waiting for the break they get when the season is over

Look, I know guys have coached to play college basketball and they think that they understand. Oh, it's a goal. It's grind sure sure

But the the players that I'm watching cam car baler

PJ haggardy it cans of state who's scoring in a pretty high clip right now

aji debonsa at BYU Terence Brown at Utah those are kids

You can rob right the third at BYU Christian Anderson Texas tech those are kids who aren't going to win a big 12 championship this year

A couple of them know they'll get to March couple of them know they probably won't but what are they still doing playing hard?

Oh, well, it's the end of the season so they're kind of run down. They're worn down. They probably won't be no

No

The NBA gauntlet is 82 games and we load manage that right

But it's not like these guys are ultimately so tired. They're just sluggish

It's kind of jogging along there as as rob is insinuating no chance

The reason that aji debonsa is not there is the paycheck now is it part of the reason? Yes, but by the way

The reason I'm at a microphone the reason Rob Doster is at a microphone right now is because the paycheck comes at the end of the month

Every two weeks something hits your account and it makes it worth it even more

I know doubt in my mind that Rob Doster loves field of 68. I love locked on. I love locked on big 12

But I could not sustain this he could not sustain this if it wasn't a paid position

If there wasn't money attached to this it's part of our job. It's what a job at J.O.B. Yes

So to say that that paycheck's part of it yet a debons is not going to play for free

You're not going to sit Rob Doster field of 68 and work a 40 hour week without getting money

You're not going to play for free

But to say the reason he's there is the paycheck

That's some that's some bull crap

That's some bull cut that's ignorance is what it is

This is ignorance to the college athlete

This is not knowing or watching these games. It's just putting a box score up at the end and saying well

I guess I didn't really want to play the motivations not there

They don't care. Well, I don't want to say they don't care, but you just said you just said they don't care

Go watch aji debonsa play go watch Rob right the third play

Oh, there's there for eight months in a paycheck. I'm not seeing that

Tunde Yesafoot Baylor

Maurice Odom at Arizona State Don McHenry Utah go watch those guys play Anthony Roy

Go watch Isaiah Johnson go watch them play basketball in the big 12

Can they win the big 12 conference? No can some of them make March madness also no

But didn't give up

They're not sluggish

There's not only so much they'll fight for they didn't realize they're not making the big 12 championship and stop and wait for the break at the end of the season

Who calls to break at the end of the season?

I mean cut just come on man

That is

Poor that is poor

coming up

Harvard kid great stats and Harvard winner one games at Harvard JC French from from Georgia Southern

How is he only a spot ahead of Isaac Wilson also

Jalen Rainer at Arkansas State was a dog a stud and he played in in his bowl game that it's a gamer

He's going to play a top level of college football and we'll do so at Iowa State next year

I think Jalen Rainer is one of the most underrated transfer quarterbacks in the country

I want as a guy from Arkansas. I watched him a lot at Arkansas State

You're getting a pure athlete a stud athlete out of a Jalen Rainer

Night out of ten behind Isaac Wilson. How are we putting Michael Hawkins from West Virginia the distrust fact

For West Virginia to put Michael Hawkins the Oklahoma transfer

at 10th

That also is some BS

Michael Hawkins behind

JC French behind Isaac Wilson

We've seen Isaac Wilson play college football. It's bad

It's bad bad the Colorado transfer

Michael Hawkins top level recruit coming out of high school played it a little bit at Oklahoma

Learned at Oklahoma and at offense. That was pretty good last year learned at her john mature

You're pretty good at 10 and transfer quarterbacks

Well, God, I think the big 12s in a good spot the quarterback position last year

Not as good as it was coming to this year, but you know, Avery Johnson to

um

My friend and and mentor

My friend and mentor being um

Bearbock my

Legend has it that Ryan Day is still looking for him

Drew Mastemaker Brennan sores being DJ lagway. I think the big 12s in a good spot quarterback was not because of Isaac Wilson

But Michael Hawkins Jalen Rainer. They're gonna be good. You watch out for them. They're gonna be good
