Flory Bidunga, the 6-foot-10 five-star Class of 2024 big man from Kokomo (IN) High and Indiana Elite, will announce on Saturday
Bidunga, who hails from the Democratic Republic of Congo, is considering Auburn, Duke, Kansas and Michigan.
As for his skillset, Kokomo coach John Peckinpaugh told ZAGSBLOG, “He’s really good with his back to the basket in the post. The thing that sets him apart is his motor is unbelievable and he’s a phenomenal athlete. He’s got a good right-handed and left-handed hook and really, really good footwork for someone as new to the game as he is. “If he can continue to develop a face-up game and fine-tune his passing game out of the post, he’s got a chance to be really, really special.” “His goal is to be like (fellow Congo native) Jonathan Kuminga and play in the NBA, but he’s just so new to this whole process so he’s trying to take this slow and see what college basketball in the United States is like, kind of what conference, program, coaching staff is going to help him get to that next level. “He’s not all over social media himself, he just wants to get into the gym and work out, continue to get better and try to enjoy the process instead of letting it become something that would overwhelm him.” This post was updated Aug. 10 at 1:50 p.m. Edit: @247HSHoops· Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter Follow ZAGSBLOGHoops on Instagram And Like ZAGS on FacebookRecruiting News!
