"I'm calling you AJ Dynasty": When YouTuber made a bold statement on No. 1 prospect AJ Dybantsa 

YouTuber Dorian Clark made strong comments about AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025, nearly a year ago.

Dybantsa is the biggest thing in high school basketball, with scholarship offers to play college basketball anywhere for the year he is expected to play in the NCAA.

But before the buzz for the 6-foot-9 forward blew through the roof (as Victor Wembanyama was fresh to the NBA and Cooper Flagg was last year's big high school thing), Clark predicted the things the Utah Prep small forward could achieve in his basketball career.

“I agree you were one of the greatest players I have ever seen," Clark said on Dec. 5, 2023, on his YouTube page. "I am calling you AJ Dynasty because that’s what you have a chance to be.

“You have the chance to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft. You got a chance to be the Rookie of the Year. You got a chance to be an NBA All-Star. You got a chance to be the MVP of the league one day. You got a realistic chance to get to the Hall of Fame.”

Although he is only 17 years old, Dybantsa is already on track to do some of the big things Dorian predicted.

He is the No. 1 player in the Class of 2025 with an NIL value of $2.5M, according to On3.com rankings.

AJ Dybantsa set for strong senior season

Despite the hype, AJ Dybantsa is not resting on his laurels, though as he turns his attention to the senior high school season.

The small forward, who reclassified from the 2026 class to the 2025 class more than a year ago, is playing for Utah Prep as a senior after transferring from Prolific Prep, which he helped to a fourth consecutive national tournament appearance.

Before his time at Prolific Prep, Dybantsa had spent his freshman campaign at St. Sebastian’s School, where he was named the 2022-23 Gatorade Massachusetts Boys Basketball Player of the Year after averaging 19.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.

Dybantsa, who averaged 23 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 1.9 apg in 10 games for the Oakland Soldiers at the Nike EYBL, will hope to continue his development at Utah Prep under the guidance of LJ Yamzon.

Dybantsa is already off to a strong start after a strong showing in the win over Chris Cenac’s Link Academy. He scored 18 points on 4-of-9 shooting in addition to 12 rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal as Utah won 65-49.
