Former Kokomo big man testing the NCAA waters after modest freshman campaign
Flory Bidunga, the pride of Kokomo and a dominant force on the basketball court, has completed his freshman season at the University of Kansas. A two-time Gatorade Player of the Year and the 2024 Indiana Mr. Basketball, Bidunga made an immediate impact for the Jayhawks under legendary coach Bill Self.
In his first collegiate season, the athletic big man averaged 5.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, providing energy and defensive presence in the paint.
Now, as the college basketball world turns its attention to offseason moves, reports confirm that Bidunga has entered the transfer portal. While this does not necessarily mean his time at Kansas is over, it does signal that he is exploring his options for the next step in his basketball journey.
Whether he remains a Jayhawk or decides to take his talents elsewhere, his decision will undoubtedly be a highly anticipated one among fans and programs across the country.
For Indiana basketball enthusiasts, the idea of Bidunga suiting up in Cream and Crimson is an exciting possibility. His physicality, athleticism, and defensive prowess would fit well in the Hoosiers' system, adding depth and strength to their frontcourt.
However, with his talent and potential, many top programs will likely be vying for his commitment. Regardless of where he lands, Bidunga's future remains bright, and Kokomo will continue to support one of its greatest basketball stars as he carves out his collegiate legacy.
