One of the reactions was from fellow Utah Prep teammate and BYU signee Xavion Staton, who responded to the post's caption.

Speaking on the goals for next year, Dybantsa said:

"The goal is obviously a national championship. This year, we are here (in the Sweet 16), so we want to get here at least. That is the goal. … We're building something special. Next year is going to be about taking that next step."

AJ Dybantsa will be joining BYU alongside fellow Utah prep teammate Xavion Staton and four-star prospect Chamberlin Burgess.
