[autotag]Flory Bidunga[/autotag] is one of the best players in the country and he is ready to make his commitment.
The five-star prospect is set to commit during halftime of the Under Armour Boys Elite 24 game on Saturday, Aug. 12. The game is set to start at 8 p.m. CT and will be on ESPNU.
He will be picking between Auburn, Duke, Kansas and Michigan, and while he has enjoyed the recruiting process he told Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports that he is ready to finish it.
“It is exciting,” Bidunga said. “These schools have been recruiting me for a while and it has been fine. It has been great to see the facilities but now I am trying to get this done so I can enjoy my senior year.”
Bidunga is originally from the Republic of Congo but currently lives in Kokomo, Indiana. He is the No. 4 overall player and No. 1 center in the 247Sports Composite Ranking. The 6-foot-8, 215-pounder is also the No. 1 player from Indiana.
He broke down each of his finalists with Jenkins and it should be no surprise that Bruce and [autotag]Steven Pearl[/autotag] are the reasons Auburn is a finalist for him.
“I love [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] and his son Steven,” Bidunga told Jenkins. “They have been there from the beginning to now. They kept going with me. It has been good so far with then.”
If Auburn can land Bidunga he would be the second five-star of their 2024 class, joining point guard [autotag]Tahaad Pettifort[/autotag] who is the No. 18 player and No. 2 point guard in the country.
