He is absolutely unreal. So much speed and coordination with that size. Goodness.

Great!  My #1 target/want in the class by a mile!
 
He’s already tremendous.  Could realistically end up #1 in the class imo.  

Will be surprised at this point if he isn’t #1 by the end of season.

We will get him in my opinion. There isn’t anything within the rules that Woodson won’t do to get him. That was made clear to staff several months ago

They decide this before or after ‘23 recruiting efforts?

I got a text from a friend that is a friend of someone on staff in July saying Woodson told them he was all in  - job for Drew,  NIL for Flory whatever it took

Everything online seems to suggest that he’s a Cincinnati lock.

Good to hear. Kid is a program changer.

Will he though? He will be here for like 9 months. Not sure I would call that program changing. 
 

I’m fine with getting 1 and done, but they don’t have a track record of changing programs by themselves

They are about to get rid of one and done.

He may not be anywhere for nine months. He may be nowhere for no months in college basketball.

So the rhetorical question of how much time and effort do you put into a talent like Bidunga at the expense of recruiting similar type players, have him wrapped up with a nice bow, and at the last minute he decides he's a none and done and heads for the NBA.  At least in the current environment, you know you'll have a kid for at least one year.

Yup—that’s the calculus.

I think he will with our team if JHS and Reneau are still on the team.  Could be the difference.

Anything could happen, but I would be very surprised if JHS and Flory had overlapping seasons at the collegiate level.

They have said they are about to get rid of it since they implemented it in 2006. it's 2022.

Which if they did makes my point even more. He's not a program changer.

What coach would he get rid of to hire Drew?

From what Woj said that the age thing will be down the road and not by 2024
