He's going to play soccer for his HS soccer team this year as well so you know he is going to show up in great shape. Love it.

https://www.espn.co.uk/mens-college-bas ... its-kansas

"Bidunga, who plans to also play soccer this season at Kokomo High School (Indiana), moves exceptionally well and plays with constant energy and effort. In the open court, he runs with long strides and great open-court speed. A high-level athlete who possesses strength, bounce and agility, Bidunga is at his best when finishing plays at the rim, rebounding and blocking shots. His shot-blocking range is impressive, as his willingness to seek rebounds outside of his area. His touch is developing as is his go-to move, a left-handed jump-hook on the right block going toward the middle of the paint. He scores with post-up angles inside and he has the hands to catch and score in the high-low game. The next area of improvement will be his face-up game."

I liked this part the best: "Speaking of sprinting, Bidunga changes ends of the floor better than any big in the class. He will get multiple easy looks at the rim simply by beating his man down the floor. "

Here's something from last year: https://theathletic.com/3448190/2022/07 ... ecruiting/

If Hunter stays, Bidunga goes elsewhere

I would be EXTREMELY SURPRISED if Hunter stays for 2 years.

His last name sounds like what the Dalai Lama told Carl Spackler.

Hunter isn't an NBA player, so unless he's heading for Europe, I'm not sure where he's going after this season.

Bidunga's doesn't look like a one-and-done.

High low post could be dynamic with Hunter's touch from 15 ft. and good passing. How about athleticism overdose with KJ and Flory on the floor at the same time? With or without HD, Flory will thrive and the Jayhawks will rule.

Sure he does. Will he be ready to play in the NBA after one season? Not really. Does he have the athletic tools to get drafted lottery by a team that's willing to secure his right and develop him? Absolutely
