Perhaps the UNC basketball recruiters have as good a chance as any contender to secure a commitment from No. 1 overall prep AJ Dybantsa.
Utah Prep five-star senior AJ Dybantsa, the consensus No. 1 prospect in the 2025 cycle, will check out the UNC basketball program in person beginning on Sept. 20.

"Now, I know everyone rolls their eyes when they hear that. But again, we're talking straight from the horse's mouth here.AJ Dybantsa will likely wait until February before choosing a college.

He's also scheduled official visits to Alabama , Baylor , and BYU .Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
