October 12 will arguably be the largest official go to weekend in BYU basketball historical past.
AJ Dybantsa introduced earlier immediately that he’ll go to BYU the weekend of October 12, and JJ Mandaquit’s dad confirmed with me that his son will go to BYU the identical weekend as Dybantsa.
Dybantsa and Mandaquit are teammates at Utah prep and have been teammates the final two years for Workforce USA within the FIBA World Cup. Each gamers are shut associates, so their go to aligning the identical weekend is notable. Sources inform me that AJ had initially proposed to go to BYU in September, however that modified after Utah Prep’s journey to China final week. After speaking with JJ and his household, the Dybantsa household adjusted AJ’s go to to align with JJ’s in October.
Dybantsa’s credentials are well-known, and JJ is a superb participant himself. The 4-Star level guard is a local of Hawaii and ranked the #51 participant within the 2025 class, in line with 247 Sports activities. JJ is a quintessential level guard who’s a improbable ground basic and passer.
The October 12 weekend coincides with BYU Soccer’s matchup with #21 Arizona. AJ and JJ are each shut associates, and their desirous to align their BYU visits to coincide is a constructive signal for BYU. Each gamers have loads of suitors, however BYU gives them the prospect to play collectively on the subsequent stage. JJ has been recruited by BYU because the former workers was in Provo, and he took an unofficial to BYU final 12 months the day of the Cincinnati soccer sport on September 29.
Whatever the pleasure stage for the soccer sport, AJ and JJ visiting BYU that weekend, will considerably improve the stakes for BYU athletics and may energize the fanbase.
