As the 2024-25 college basketball season approaches, numerous teams are searching for ways to make their mark in the early going. That includes Auburn and head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag], who look to bounce back after a first round exit to Yale in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
One of those ways that the Tigers want to do that with is in recruiting, trying to prepare for the replacement of the majority roster after this year. They could be on the right track should they land a commitment from the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2025, [autotag]AJ Dybantsa[/autotag].
Dybantsa is currently considering six institutions. Outside of Auburn, the likes of Kansas State, Kansas, Alabama, North Carolina and BYU are competing for the young phenom.
The forward from Utah Prep School has taken official visits to all six schools, and now the nation awaits his massive commitment in February.
According to Joe Tipton at On3, he labels BYU as the team to beat in this race, favoring the Cougars to keep him in state and improve on their success.
The Tigers currently hold one commitment in the class of 2025 in three-star Simon Walker, but hope to make a giant push and land one of the nation’s best in the coming months.
