He dominates against 6’2” white kids, is the #2 player in the class AND is currently projected to Cincinnati. Something is off here.

He's faced plenty of size and it hasn't slowed him down. Cincy has a connection to him which means they'll be in it to the end. I'm not high on Xavier Booker but they faced each other this past summer and while Cathedral got the W, Bidunga got the better of Booker. Highlights on YT if you want to check it out.

I’ve seen the highlights and it’s like every other Flory video. Lobs and put back dunks and maybe 1 or 2 where he takes 1 dribble and dunks. Booker on the other hand brings the ball up the court, pull up threes, drives to the basket and actual post moves to score. Nothing from Flory that didn’t start 2 feet from the basket .

And yet Booker's production pales in comparison to Flory....

Flory has shown plenty of times he can grab and go and take it the length of the court. He's also got great vision and passes well out of double teams. Yeah a lot of his points are dunks or other shots near the rim. Why would he do anything else? Booker is what, 6'10 and the kid doesn't know how to use his size, just wants to sit out there and chuck up jump shots. Give me Flory every day of the week.

I think it is at least promising that he has came to a couple games...I know he has went to a couple of Purdue games also, but if we weren't in it, I don't think he would come back.

Cupps has a district championship game on Saturday at 3:30.  Wonder if our stealth recruiter will also be in Bloomington.

Saw reports Brian Walsh was in the gym tonight for Kokomo vs Lafayette Harrison, a  sectional semifinal game Kokomo won 68-63 in OT.  Harrison sent it into OT with a buzzer beating half court heave.  Flory 26p and 19r.

Alright BTB, does this look like Brian Walsh?

That’s definitely him

Flory finishes with 26/19 and Kokomo beats Harrison in OT. Harrison hit a halfcourter at the end of regulation. Phenomenal Indiana HS atmosphere. Juwan popped in late.

Yeah he was there

We send an assistant to watch him but UM head coach was there. Also Painter came to see him.  When was the last time Woodson went to watch him.

Difficult to be in 2 places at once; Woodson and Rosemond were watching Sisley.

Kokomo Tribune:  

Flory Bidunga led the Kats in the semifinal win with 26 points and 19 rebounds — his 46th double-double in 51 career games. The 6-foot-10 junior center also had four blocked shots, three assists and two steals.

The Raiders made Bidunga work for everything as they battled him inside. He made 7 of 9 shots from the field and 12 of 19 free throws. Impressively, he made 9 of 12 freebies over the fourth quarter and overtime.

Chill, he’s going to be on campus tomorrow. Of course, maybe he’s coming to see Howard?
