AJ Dybantsa talked about his decision to stay in college or go to the NBA today on Yahoo Sports Daily: Q: Season's over. You're looking forward a little bit. Have you made any decisions about what is next for AJ Dybantsa? AJ Dybantsa: No, I haven't. I haven't talked to my mom. She's actually not here, so I haven't talked to her. Q: What goes into that decision for you? AJ Dybantsa: Her, whatever she chooses. Q: Has it always been the case? AJ Dybantsa: Yeah, she's pretty much been making all the decisions in life for me. She decided where I went to high school. She confirmed that BYU was good for me. Q: What are some of the pros and cons that you've been dealing with of either coming back to school or declaring for the draft? AJ Dybansa: Pros and cons? There are no pros and cons. I didn't make a decision. Q: So whatever mom says that's where you're going to go. Do you know how she weighs the decision? What does she factor in? AJ Dybantsa: I know that she wants me to graduate. So she might be basing it off of that. But you got to ask her. I don't know. Q: Do you or your mom have a timeline of when you would like to make your decision? AJ Dybantsa: I think you have to declare by a certain day, if I'm not mistaken. May 1st, I think it is. So I think the decision has to be before May 1st, but however long she needs. Q: What has BYU said to you in this process? AJ Dybantsa: They obviously want me to go, you know, make the best decision. Obviously, they want me to come back, play for another year, but also they want all their players to go accomplish their pro dreams. So I guess they wouldn't mind either decision that happens. Q: What's the most important factor? I know I know you said that it's your mom's decision to make. What's the most important factor for her in this decision? AJ Dybantsa: I think she wants me to graduate. I know she wants me to graduate college. So I don't know if she's just basing it off of, yeah, you're going to stay in school to graduate or she just wants me to uh go accomplish my dreams. Who knows? Q: So, if your mom wants you to stay for four years and get a degree at BYU and play basketball the whole time, you're in for that.
