By ADAM ZAGORIA
AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2025 and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, is down to four schools.
The 6-foot-9 Dybantsa is now considering Alabama, BYU, Kansas and North Carolina, having cut Auburn, Baylor and Kansas State, as first reported by 247Sports.com.
Ace Dybantsa, AJ’s father, recently watched Alabama at the Players Festival in Las Vegas, and will be at the Alabama-North Carolina game Wednesday night, a source confirmed.

Dybantsa is expected to receive an NIL deal north of $4 million, industry sources said.
Former Georgia Tech coach and Memphis coach Josh Pastner recently predicted Dybantsa would end up at BYU.
“He’s gonna go to BYU. It would be a shock if he did not go to BYU,” Pastner said on ESPN.
Ace Dybantsa previously said his son would announce in February.
