From Seth Davis article on the Athletic
One of the first colleges to recruit Bidunga was Bradley, where Drew Adams, who is the son of Bidunga’s coach with Indiana Elite, is an assistant. The scuttlebutt among college coaches at the Adidas tournament last week held that Bidunga would either end up at Bradley, or that Adams would be hired away by another school and Bidunga would follow him there. Peckinpaugh batted down that notion — “I wouldn’t listen to all the rumors,” he cautions — and added that while Bradley has done a good job recruiting Bidunga so far, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Purdue and Wake Forest were also aggressive out of the gate. Auburn is making up ground fast (Bidunga had a good Zoom call with Bruce Pearl, who was courtside for some of his games last week), and Kentucky has shown interest of late through assistant coach Orlando Antigua. In addition, two coaches from the NBA G League’s Ignite team, Jason Hart and Rod Baker, were at the Adidas 3SSB event last week, and one or both was courtside for many of Bidunga’s games. No doubt many more suitors will follow
