The 6-foot-10 forward had originally committed to Washington but announced his decommitment last month. Now, he’ll suit up for head coach Chris Beard and Ole Miss as they navigate their way through the brutal SEC.
“Niko is an elite modern forward due to his two-way versatility,” Ryan Bernardi, Bundalo’s head coach at Prolific Prep, told ZAGBSLOG. “Offensively, Niko can make shots from deep and hurt you around the rim. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions due to his length and foot speed. He has great coordination and pursues rebounds very well. Niko will be a great fit with Coach Beard and his style.”
Bundalo will join a recruiting class at Ole Miss consisting of four-star prospects Tylis Jordan and Patton Pinkins, along with french prospect Ilias Kamardine.
