The teams to beat for top uncommitted basketball recruits

Posted Jul 20, 2023
Duke should be viewed as the front-runner for 5-star center Flory Bidunga, but I’m not quite as ready to call this a done deal as others seem to be. The allure of Bill Self and adidas’ connection to Bidunga’s 3SSB grassroots squad is too strong to be cast aside entirely. Michigan and Auburn are also technically finalists to land Bidunga, but it's unlikely. (Rivals.com)
