Dybantsa was the No. 1 player in the Class of 2026. He is now eligible for the 2026 NBA Draft instead of 2027.

Prolific Prep’s five-star small forward AJ Dybantsa reclassified to the Class of 2025, he announced on social media Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know: Dybantsa, 16, was the No. 1 player in the Class of 2026. He is now eligible for the 2026 NBA Draft instead of 2027. The 6-foot-8 Dybantsa averaged 13.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds in just 19 minutes per game for USA Basketball’s U16 squad, which went on to win gold at the FIBA U16 Americas Championship this summer.

— Tobias Bass, basketball recruiting writer What’s next for Dybantsa? Dybansta already holds 14 Division I scholarships and will rack up several more before deciding where he’s going to school or if he will play for the G-League Ignite. What reclassifying does is put pressure on all the college coaches or professional leagues that are recruiting him to build a relationship and bring him on a visit. Time is ticking, he now has one AAU summer left and two high school seasons left.
