Former Cal star Tyson told CBS Sports that Kansas and Auburn offered him a lot more, but Mark Madsen helped make him a possible first-round NBA pick

Former Cal standout Jaylon Tyson took the long-term view when he was choosing a transfer destination a year ago, and it is paying off now.

Jaylon Tyson noted he might only be an NBA prospect because he didn't take the highest-dollar offer on the table last year. It wasn't a $2 million deal, but Auburn and Kansas had impressive financial packages for the then-Texas Tech transfer.Tyson noted that having trusted advisors who had his future in mind played a role in his decision.

Tyson had been a starter at Texas Tech, but he was fourth on the team in scoring in 2022-23 at 10.7 points while averaging 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists. But at Cal, under former NBA player Madsen, Tyson became a Pac-12 star as the focal point of the Golden Bears’ offense. Tyson was Cal’s primary ballhandler and most consistent scorer, and demonstrated the athleticism and versatility that enabled him to shoot up the NBA draft board.
