You may get a few people that put Cooper Flag at #1 over the past few years as a prospect, but most everywhere I have seen would put AJ #1 and some would say the best prospect in years. Can't say that about Frank or Jabari.

Do you really think this? AJ seems much better to me. My take is: AJ>>>>>>> Jabari>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Frank. (BYU

AJ is different. Better than Jabari or FJ

Jabari wasn’t #1 on either of 247’s rankings. AJ is #1 on both. It isn’t close.

And that’s after he classified up a year.

Jabari wasn't the #1 recruit in the nation that year.

Jabari was at one point similarly hyped. But by the time commitment came, he'd fallen off a bit

He was the clear #1 at end of his junior year though (same as Dybantsa)

I don’t know if recency bias means what you think it means. Those three players are not comparable

Jabari was awarded the national HS player of the year by two different groups. He was the 2nd pick in the NBA draft

The difference is that there is legit interest from the entire AJ family without BYU bias.

If you think that Jabari was a bigger recruit than Dybantsa then I just don’t know what to tell you.

“ The prized prospect from Chicago's Simeon Career Academy, one of the most highly touted recruits in years, ”

And AJ could get those awards and more as well as being likely #1 pick

When you watch AJ's highlights, he dominates the field. He is so obviously

I think they are pretty equal in terms of hype and ranking, Dybantsa is a

Parker and Jackson had uneventful NBA careers and didn’t do anything noteworthy

Jabari was also runner up for national player of the year while at Duke

Dybansta but Jabari was very hyped as well. Made the cover of SI and Slam.

There have only ever been a handful of perfect 100 rated recruits, like 5

8 in 25 yrs: AJ Dybantsa, Cooper Flagg, Chet Holmgren, RJ Barrett, Andrew Wiggins, Greg Oden, Dwight Howard, LeBron

AJ is projected #1 in the draft. Wiggins was always #1 when parker was coming.
