Dybantsa was seen talking to Suns guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal and Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell.

The 6'9", 210-pound forward, who attends Utah Prep in Hurricane, Utah, has received 29 offers and made visits BYU, Alabama, North Carolina, Kansas, Kansas State, Auburn and USC, per 247Sports.

Dybantsa just starred in the Border League, a showcase for the United States' top high school talents and teams. He finished as the event's MVP after leading Utah Prep to a 3-0 record.

The 28-point game was against Columbus High School, current home of No. 2 recruit Cameron Boozer and No. 21 recruit Cayden Boozer (per 247Sports).

Dybantsa may be sitting courtside at an NBA game now, but he could very well be playing professionally in two years as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft.

In the interim, he has one year left of high school and (presumably) one season of college before the pros call his name. Understandably, he's the hottest recruit in his class, with BYU potentially prepared to offer a $4.5 million NIL package, per Pete Nakos of On3.

For now, Dybantsa should continue his dominance on the prep level. If his early returns are any indication, he's about to enjoy a fantastic season.
