As Dybantsa’s decision in February approaches, elite teams like Kansas and Alabama are fighting for his commitment. Dybantsa is widely regarded as the top basketball recruit in the 2025 class.
The 6-foot-9, five-star player from Utah Prep, AJ Dybantsa, has emerged as one of the most sought-after basketball prospects in recent memory.
His combination of size, skill, and athleticism makes him the undisputed top player in the 2025 class. The competition to recruit Dybantsa is intensifying, and Kansas is among the universities vying for the gifted forward’s services.
The fast-paced basketball of today is ideally suited for Dybantsa’s style of play. With his remarkable bounce, he can finish far above the defense and attack the basket with ease thanks to his skillful ball handling in the open court. He’s a terror for opponents in transition, using his size and speed to get past guards.
However, Dybantsa is more than just a one-dimensional player; his ability to generate his own shot off the dribble and his flawless jump jumper make him a potent offensive weapon. When completely committed, his wingspan and fast feet provide him great potential as a lockdown defender on the defensive end.
Bill Self and his staff are aware of Dybantsa’s potential impact on the Jayhawks. With his versatility as a scorer and his defensive potential, he has the potential to be the focal point of a team that challenges for the championship.
Fans in Kansas are hoping Dybantsa’s visit in September makes a lasting impression as he approaches the moment to make his much awaited decision.
Would he be able to make it to Lawrence? Though the Jayhawks are putting up a good fight, it remains to be seen where Dybantsa will ultimately call home.
Even with a positive visit, Dybantsa hasn’t made any mention of a preferred school. There are still a number of prominent colleges vying for his pledge, including North Carolina, Baylor, Kansas State, Alabama, and Kansas.
