Star Power: AJ Dybantsa Has College Hoops Fans Fighting And Losing Their Damn Minds Over A Viral Shot Of Him Jumping Out Of The Gym

In case you somehow haven't heard of AJ Dybatnsa yet, welcome. He's likely going to be the face of college basketball next year. He's also going to BYU, which hard to imagine why you'd pick BYU: 

And now you have him showing off his vert. Sure, it's a weird angle that's designed to show him looking like a damn freak, but he still jumped 42 inches.

But the real sign he's going to be a star? People fighting about this, a simple picture. 

And on and on we go with a lot of the same stuff. But the fact is it's July and people are willing to fight over a college basketball player. That's how you get people to like my sport. I don't care how high he can jump. Sure it makes for viral clips and all that shit, but that doesn't mean anything if he struggles. I don't think he will, the dude can play.

All this is good for college basketball. You have 3 big time guys coming into the sport, all of who are listed as the possible No. 1 pick for the NBA Draft with him, Darryn Peterson and Cam Boozer. You have big names coming back, people caring and willing to fight in the comment section. That's awesome for a sport that deserves more attention than feast week and 3 weeks in March. Weird to see BYU loading up on talent, playing a true national schedule and being one of the teams listed first this year, but welcome to the new era.
