5-star basketball recruit Flory Bidunga lists Kansas among four finalists

Flory Bidunga is down to four schools.

According to a post Monday on his Instagram account, the Kokomo (Indiana) High star is considering Auburn, Duke, Kansas and Michigan. The 6-9 Bidunga, rated as a five-star prospect and the fourth-ranked player nationally in the 2024 class by 247sports, said last month he planned to take one more visit to Indiana before making his decision, but did not list the Hoosiers among his finalists.

Duke became a contender for Bidunga, named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior, in June. Auburn, Kansas and Michigan have been recruiting Bidunga at least going back to the high school season.

As of last week, Bidunga was planning to make his announcement in the week leading up to the start of his senior year of high school at Kokomo, which begins Aug. 2. He has not officially set a date for his announcement.

Bidunga averaged 20.2 points, 13.8 rebounds and 4.5 blocked shots per game as a junior for Kokomo, helping the Wildkats to the Class 4A state finals.
