AJ Dybantsa is generating excitement and debate among college basketball fans with his college decision. He cut down his list of schools to seven in August and as part of his decision-making process, Dybantsa made an official visit to Kansas on the weekend.
On Sunday, the 6-foot-9 small forward, who plays at Utah Prep, shared several photos and a video from his Kansas campus trip in a Jayhawks jersey.
"Rock chalk ❤️💙 ??" Dybantsa captioned the post on Instagram.
Kansas fans were thrilled to see the five-star recruit donning their school colors but not everyone was excited about the prospect of Dybantsa potentially ending up in Lawrence next season.
"Nah UNC twin," a fan commented suggesting they want the star player to commit to North Carolina instead.
"This is funny cuz we all know you’re a BYU lock," another wrote Dybantsa will commit to Brigham Young.
"Lm*** Kansas fans getting they hopes up not realizing he’s a BYU lock," one fan added.
"Bad decision young man I’ll see you in Auburn Alabama for your national championship," one fan said.
"This is sick but maybe consider joining the team that embarrassed Kansas at home last year 🤷🏻♂️," another fan wrote.
"Ewwwww go to KSU not KU," another chimed in, suggesting Dybantsa to choose Kansas State over Kansas.
AJ Dybantsa made a trip to Kansas State last week and will also visit the rest of the schools he considered in the upcoming months.
AJ Dybantsa shares the main factors he considers while deciding on schools
AJ will probably make his decision in February next year as said by his father. He will play his final year of high school basketball at Utah Prep this coming season.
The forward shared three major criteria he is considering for picking the best college.
"One is family-orientated," AJ told KSLSports.com. "I’m going to be away from my family. Two is the development. Obviously, I want to be a one-and-done. And three is just a winning program. I want to be there hopefully for only one year so winning a National Championship is my goal."
AJ Dybantsa's father Anicet Sr. has been helping with the recruitment. He said that his top seven schools were chosen based on his dad's discussions with the coaches.
