I assume it was nike/adidas related transfer.He signed a Nike NIL deal in January. Simple reason he had to leave PP

Napa and Utah are pretty much the same to a 17 year old black kid. He couldn't care less about the wineries or tree lined streets.Not going to tell everyone the reason why this happened, but I know the reason and it’s very sad.
Imagine having to move from beautiful Napa, CA to the literal middle of nowhere Hurricane, UT.
What’s funny is next season, Prolific will beat that same Utah team by 20+, but the program wishes AJ all the best and hope he finds whatever he is looking for at Utah Prep.

Hurricane is desert not tree-lined streets in southern Utah near St George. It’s 2 hours to Las Vegas. Another top 10 prospect in the 2025 class — Isiah Harwell — plays for Utah Prep.While I semi agree, especially nowadays where kids are playing on their phone or computer for 50% of the day. I still think Napa is a lot closer to big cities (SF, Oakland, San Jose) than Hurricane, UT is. Closest cities to Hurricane are 2-3 hours away maybe longer.
No. 1 prospect AJ Dybantsa, his father, break down move from Prolific Prep to Utah Prep | Zagsblog

According to Twitter everyone is fleeing California for Utah anyway.Exactly, everything the kid does is my dad. My father. My dad. My dad. Look I’m glad the dad is in his life, and outside of basketball, he’s a nice and good dude. But he’s got way too much control of his 17 going on 18 yr old sons life, and if he doesn’t change that, it’s going to affect his future draft prospects.
AJ is essentially a lock for a top 10 pick in the 2026 nba draft, and right now would either go 1 or 2 along with Cameron Boozer.
Like a previous poster said, winters in Hurricane, UT or winters in Napa, CA…..any human being with half a brain knows what the right choice is, unless your an Eskimo!
You’re correct, my bad, I got the two programs mixed upNot too be the one to nit pick. But Harwell plays for Wasatch, which is another basketball prep school that I know many on this board are familiar with.
AJ is going to Utah Prep, formerly RSL Prep and will be playing with the flyin Hawaiian JJ Mandaquit.
Average daytime high in December. Hurricane 53 Napa 57, almost no difference and Hurricane/st george has less rainfall, rarely snows, and more sunshine.Exactly, everything the kid does is my dad.

Good for the AJ and his family. My Dad, my dad made him into #1 player in the country. He should listen to Dad 100%.According to Twitter everyone is fleeing California for Utah anyway.
Also as a 17 year old everything should be your dad. Dad's aren't around in black kids lives they catch hell.
Dad's are in complete control they catch hell.
and, almost nothing for a young person to do... which, if he's that sort (I have no idea, not accusing here), gives more free time to get into trouble when not working on their game.

There is absolutely nothing to do in napa eitherand, almost nothing for a young person to do... which, if he's that sort (I have no idea, not accusing here), gives more free time to get into trouble when not working on their game.
Never met your dad... that's unfortunate but I get your clear misconception of how a father is supposed to be involved. It makes sense.Did the dad lace up the sneakers? Sacrifice hours of his time to become a better player?
I’m all for parents helping kids, heck I’ve never met my dad before. It sucks.
I’m not saying he didn’t contribute at all to AJ being a very good basketball player, quite the opposite. He def had contributions. Def. Should be involved.
But to control his decisions, I think stunts his growth in other areas. He’s almost 18. At some point he has to make these decisions and choices on his own.
that man wasting BYU time. aint no way.
I watched this dude named Slice sneak a girl into the dorms at Lavin Camp in Angwin when we were 13There is absolutely nothing to do in napa either
