AJ Dybantsa, No. 1 Prospect in 2025, Visits Kansas

By ADAM ZAGORIA

AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025 and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, began his official visit to Kansas this weekend.

The 6-foot-9 wing from Utah Prep was greeted with a huge “Welcome AJ Dybantsa” sign and a tour of Adams Alumni Center.

“Bill Self is a winner,” Ace Dybantsa, AJ’s father, previously told ZAGSBLOG. “Nothing else to say. I like his system. I spoke to coach [Kurtis] Townsend. I spoke to coach Self. And I like what they were saying. So I agreed to give them a shot.”
