Five-star Class of 2025 star AJ Dybantsa planning to visit Kentucky this fall

By ADAM ZAGORIA

New Kentucky coach Mark Pope has made contact with AJ Dybantsa’s father, and the Dybantas are planning to visit campus sometime this fall.

“We’re looking forward to visiting Kentucky in the fall,” Ace Dybantsa told ZAGSBLOG after speaking with Pope.

The elder Dybantsa also said they expect an offer from Kentucky in the future.

Former Kentucky coach John Calipari offered Dybantsa last November.

“Kentucky is always a powerhouse. I think they’re going to continue to be a powerhouse and get top recruits because that’s who they are,” he told KSR.

The family plans to plot out about half a dozen schools to visit next fall, his father said.

The 6-foot-9 Dybantsa of Prolific Prep (CA) is the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025 and the projected No. 1 pick in 2026.
