No. 1 College Basketball Recruit AJ Dybantsa Turns Heads With New Post
AJ Dybantsa is considered the No. 1 recruit in the nation from the high school class of 2025. He spent this season at Utah Prep, and he will be heading to Brigham Young this fall to start his college basketball career.
Scouts seem to think very highly of the 6-foot-9 forward, and many expect him to leave college after his freshman year to go into the NBA draft, where he's projected to be the first player chosen.

Dybantsa has a wingspan of over seven feet, and he can score at all three levels, although his mid-range pull-up game is considered his biggest strength, according to a scouting report from 247Sports.
The Massachusetts native is also thought to have plenty of potential to become an impact player on the defensive end as well.
