Key Auburn target Flory Bidunga is nearing a decision

Auburn is in the mix for one of the best players in the country.

Five-star center [autotag]Flory Bidunga[/autotag] is one of Auburn’s top targets in the 2024 recruiting class and he is nearing a decision.

“I’m coming towards the end,” Bidunga told Dushawn London of 247Sports. “I want to make a decision pretty soon. It’s been pretty good time being recruited by all these schools and seeing that they offered me shows they see me in their program. I feel like I’m close to making my decision.”

He added that Auburn, Duke, Michigan, Indiana, Cincinnati and Kansas are recruiting him hard.

Bidunga spoke about what stands out from each school recruiting him and had great things to say about [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag].

“BP, that’s what I call Bruce Pearl. He’s a good coach, and good guy who really cares about his players.”

Bidunga is the No. 4 overall player and No. 1 center in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 1 player in Indiana after coming to the United States from his home country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He took an official visit to Auburn back on Nov. 11, 2022, and is one of just six centers Auburn has offered in the 2024 recruiting class. With [autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag] expected to head to the NBA after this season he would be immediately contending for playing time should he pick Auburn.
