The father of the No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class, A.J. Dybantsa, recently shared all seven schools have an equal shot.
The Kansas State Wildcats are among the finalists for No. 1 recruit in the 2025 class, A.J. Dybantsa, but are paired against steep competition.
Dybantsa narrowed down his list of schools to the Wildcats, Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, BYU, Kansas, and North Carolina in early August. The five-star forward's father, Anicet Dybantsa Sr., emphasized that all seven schools are on an equal playing field, despite their varying levels of established basketball talent.
"Speaking with AJ's father, he made it pretty clear that he's entering this process open to everyone and that everyone has a clean slate and equal footing," 247Sports' Eric Bossi said during a recent appearance on the 247Sports College Basketball Show. "Now, I know everyone rolls their eyes when they hear that. But again, we're talking straight from the horse's mouth here. So, we have to kind of take Dad at his word on this.
The 6-foot-9 Dybantsa, who averaged 22.6 points during the Elite Youth Basketball League, joins Darryn Peterson and four-star wing Cam Ward as recent top-tier recruits to have interest in the Wildcats.Anthony Pasciolla is a contributing writer to K-State On SI.
