F/C · Jr · 6'9" · Louisville Basketball

Flory Bidunga's route to Louisville began in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he was born in 2005. At 15 he enrolled at Kokomo High School in Indiana, tied a state record with 32 consecutive made field goals, and won Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior before being named 2024 Indiana Mr. Basketball and a McDonald's All-American. He chose Kansas over Auburn, Duke and Michigan, played all 34 games as a freshman, then broke out in 2025-26: 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and a Big 12-leading 2.6 blocks per game on 64% shooting, earning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and first-team all-conference honors. Bidunga declared for the 2026 NBA draft and attended the combine, but committed to Louisville on April 12, 2026, as the transfer portal's No. 1-ranked player, then signed after testing the draft process. He joins Louisville's frontcourt after two seasons at Kansas. Public reporting does not establish a verified NIL contract value, so no dollar figure is stated here.
