The North Carolina Tar Heels will soon learn their destiny as a top 2025 recruiting target on the basketball court. And it feels like a must-get for Hubert Davis and his staff.

On Tuesday, no. 1 recruit AJ Dybantsa officially committed to a program and ended his recruitment, doing so during ESPN’s “First Take” show in the morning. Dybantsa revealed on Monday that he would be ready to make an announcement.

As for the challengers, he recently whittled his list of offers down to a final four as he focused on North Carolina, BYU, Alabama and Kansas. His recruitment has been relatively quiet, and BYU picked up a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports a few months back.

But since then, that prediction is gone, and both UNC and Alabama rumored to have gained traction. His father, Ace, was also in attendance at the Dean Dome last week for the Tar Heels’ big game against the Crimson Tide.

It’s hard to tell who’s really in charge here for this recruitment, and with it being so quiet, there’s really no way to get a good read on it. But it’s safe to say UNC will know their fate in less than 24 hours, and they hope they can add to their two-player class for the 2025 cycle.
