Top-ranked recruit AJ Dybantsa offered by Kentucky

For the second day in a row, the Kentucky Wildcats have issued a scholarship offer to a prospect ranked No. 1 overall in his class.

On Monday, class of 2026 star Tyran Stokes scored an offer from John Calipari.

And on Tuesday, it was 2025 recruit AJ Dybantsa who was offered by Calipari.

Dybantsa announced the news on Twitter.

Originally a 2026 prospect, the 6-foot-9, 200-pound Dybantsa hails from Massachusetts and just reclassified into 2025 back in October. He plays at Prolific Prep in California alongside Stokes, so they’ve got quite a formidable group.

Dybantsa is the consensus top recruit in 2025, so it was just a matter of when, not if, he got an official scholarship offer from Kentucky, who is thought to be at or near the top of this recruitment as of now. He holds additional offers from the LSU Tigers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, and Michigan Wolverines.

Also, Dybantsa was very close with former Wildcat Terrence Clarke. Dybantsa has said Clarke was like a brother to him and one of his biggest motivations.
