1. Flory Bidunga

No. 4 ranked recruit in C/O 2024, No. 1 ranked C

A 6-foot-8, 215 lbs center originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bidunga caught the eyes of scouts the minute he moved to the U.S.

It appears to be a two-school race between Duke and Kansas for Bidunga. Beating out the Blue Devils on the recruiting trail is never easy, but there should be reason for optimism that the Jayhawks can land him.

Bidunga is among the most skilled players in his class, and he is absolutely dominant in the paint. He’d become the third highest-ranked commit in Kansas history ever since recruiting sites began tracking players.

A 247 Sports writer recently put in a crystal ball to Duke for Bidunga, so perhaps KU’s chances are trending downhill. Assuming the worst, Ngongba and Queen will be the backup options. However, the coaching staff must pull out all the stops to bring him to the Kansas basketball program.
