These two Big time Big men have different styles of game today they got to go head to head. And the battle began from the tip. Xavier Booker has had an outstanding summer and just about has offers from any school in America. 16 year old Flory Bidunga is a beast. Buddy dunks everything around the rim.

Booker finished with 17 pts
Bidunga finished with 27 pts

They both had a plethora of points and blocks and assist

I hope this video settles the question of whether or not he can dunk, once and for all.

Bidunka seems like an obvious nickname

Breaking down Flory Bidunga's decision to commit to Kansas!!! How good will Flory Bidunga be for Kansas in 2024? Can Bill Self lead Kansas to another Top recruiting class in College Basketball in 2024? Will Flory Bidunga be the best player in the 2024 class?

Based on the videos posted here, it looks like the offensive philosophy of his high school team was to throw it to Flory watch him score from wherever he is on the floor.

I had never seen a video by him before and he annoyed me initially too. But his enthusiasm and delivery won me over, especially since it was for a player I'm excited and full of expectation about.



Why do you hate fans of KU recruits?

Flory Bidunga commits to Kansas! Bill Self is a BAAAAD man

The Sleepers react to the wild Flory Bidunga recruitment and break down what the fit means for Kansas basketball

"...Flory Bidunga Dunks, the latest in the line of players who opted to go to Kansas and not Michigan that are extremely talented centers. Never heard that one before, that's crazy. This recruitment sounded like an all-timer Hall of Fame Mount Rushmore remember that recruitment recruitment...Bill Self showed up and said "I'm Bill MF'n himSelf" and now the best center in the country is going to Kansas..."

Flory Bidunga's story similar to Joel Embiid's. Grew up in Africa playing soccer, started playing basketball in the US in his teens. Let's hope he has an injury free freshman season as a Jayhawk and helps us win another title!

As I watch the videos of Flory and Furphy, I keep reminding myself that they, esp. Flory, are men among boys, and it's unrealistic to expect similar play once they're at KU.

But, then again...

Then again most of the recruits we get are men among boys before they get here. Bill and co. try to turn them into men among men.

I don't think he's known as a shooter.


So DH KJ FB and HD all together? Sounds like that would work terribly.
