HURRICANE, Utah, May 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Utah Prep<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>AJ Dybantsa, Jr, the top prospect in all of high school basketball and consensus #1 college recruit, today announced he would be attending Utah Prep Academy, in Hurricane, Utah, for his senior year. Anicet \u201cAce\u201d Dybantsa Sr., AJ\u2019s father, will also be joining Utah Prep\u2019s newly formed administration team at its new campus at the mouth of Zion National Park in southern Utah.<\/p>\n

\"AJ<\/p>\n

\u201cOur family is really excited to be joining the Utah Prep family. My wife Chelsea and I spent a lot of time exploring the Utah Prep opportunity for our family and what was best for AJ\u2019s further development\u2026 and have you experienced Zion National Park?\u201d shared Dybantsa, Sr. \u201cThe opportunity to help build a unique basketball ecosystem that will have generational impact on our players and the sport itself ended up being an opportunity we could not pass up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dybantsa, Jr. (AJ) shared, \u201cUtah Prep\u2019s<\/a> focus on player skill development, strong relationships with collegiate coaches, and their program\u2019s attention to physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness were contributing factors to our final decision. Plus the opportunity to be part of building Utah Prep\u2019s unique basketball culture with my dad is really exciting for me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utah Prep\u2019s Coach LJ Yamzon stated that the opportunity to coach and help develop a generational talent like AJ Dybantsa is what every coach dreams of. Having the consensus #1 player in the country will strengthen Utah Prep\u2019s bid this coming season for its first invite to the Chipotle Nationals (formerly Geico Nationals). Yamzon was a key member of the coaching staff that led Nike Elite\u2019s Wasatch Academy to its first Geico invitation in 2019.<\/p>\n

Dybantsa, Jr. will be joining Utah Prep\u2019s other nationally ranked players, including Team USA\u2019s FIBA U16 starting point guard JJ Mandaquit and sophomore sensation 4-star Anthony Felesi, as well as sharp shooting John Southwick. Dybantsa, Jr. and Mandaquit were standout teammates on the gold medal winning Team USA.<\/p>\n

Quick to give credit to others for his successes, Dybantsa, Jr. expressed gratitude for his ever supportive family and the faith, trust, and time that his previous coaches and teammates have placed in him.<\/p>\n
